most wins (driver) Michael Schumacher (7)

Well, finally. It’s about time we saw the old man on the podium. 😁

PS. That opening deserves a red card and a 30-point penalty. ☕

Regarding the transmission.

It’s semi-automatic—you get those paddle shifters behind the wheel, but you're still responsible for managing the clutch manually when pulling away from a stop.

Frankly, I suspect that to improve the quality of racing, we ought to simply reintroduce steel brakes to extend stopping distances, along with classic manual gearboxes where driver error can actually manifest itself. Furthermore, engine development should focus on widening the performance gap between individual chassis.

On a technical note, it is actually the diffuser, rather than the external wings, that generates the most turbulent air behind the car; therefore, the planned restrictions on diffuser dimensions for next season will likely prove to be a very wise move.

Oh, not the G- forces again. 😁

But that won't change much. It's primarily the tires and the rear wing that generate those massive amounts of turbulent flow (the "dirty air").

Then again, dirty air has the biggest impact on the front—and even the rear—wings.

To truly minimize the effects of "dirty air," shouldn't we simplify the front and rear wings? Right now, they seem far too sensitive to turbulence.

mistybear87 said:You scored xy points for that attempted coup. Just one hour. After you went and dubbed yourself the "honorary moderator of the Formula 1 subforum"... if you can't take a joke, that's on you.

So, when a moderator is just messing around, they expect everyone else to take it as a joke. But the second you push back on a chat topic? Suddenly you’re getting a warning. Where's the consistency? Where's the objectivity? 🙏

mistybear87 said:If I actually wanted to punish you, you’d be banned. Just like how an attempted coup usually ends with a bullet to the head.

A mindless comparison, and a pretty desperate attempt at a distraction. 👎

mistybear87 said:You know exactly why you got flagged for being abusive. Don't play the innocent victim here. ☕

Only you could pinpoint why that was an insult—just like it happened in several previous rounds.

mistybear87 said:Making fun of Williams? I don't see any red cards like that on your list—not in at least the last two years. ☕

Is it alright if I post a screenshot of your private message where you explain how "trash-talking Williams" is actually the reason for the red card? 😉

mistybear87 said:You’ve been breaking our agreement since day one. Instead of being grateful for my patience, you just keep doing whatever you want. Just a heads up—everyone has their limit.

I'm acting out?
Where exactly?

In the off-topic/spam thread. 🙏

Compared to how your real-life buddies constantly start "standard" threads without any moderation😍, I'm practically a saint. 🙏

Bottom line—you haven't given me a single reason to justify those warnings.

PS—I actually enjoy it over there. ☕🙏

hollowtrucker77 said:No way.

Could you provide some clarification on that?

Calling a "coup attempt" an insult? And quoting someone else's post just counts as harassment now?

Pure stupidity. I even got handed a warning card just to mock Williams—which is hilarious, considering the moderator who flagged me is a massive fan of their team.

hollowtrucker77 said:Have you considered if that partial ban was actually intended to bait the moderator?

Who’s trying to pick a fight with the moderator now?

The last few bans from that moderator have been a joke. Completely baseless. It’s pretty obvious he just can't stand me—what's his deal? ☕

If they have some sort of deep-seated frustration or an inferiority complex, they should really take that up with someone else. Why bother dragging everyone else into it? 🙂

I just expect the rules to be applied consistently across all the forums. Isn't that how it should work? Because on Formula 1, that's clearly not the case. 👎

And naturally, I feel I'm owed an explanation. Why exactly did I walk away with two red cards and a measly 99 points?

So, here's the deal. It’s honestly kind of tragicomic that my last few bans have actually set a precedent on the Formula 1 subforum.

And besides, the fact that the moderator hasn't said a word? That's enough of an indicator right there.

The moderator, mistybear87, was notified about this thread on the same day. I assume the admins and supermods have seen it by now, too.

Still no response. Meanwhile, those 45 useless points are just sitting there on my account.

It’s time to fix this. To the staff: please clear that last warning from my record.

Thanks! 🙂

Following the topic, which led absolutely nowhere and only served to highlight some blatant moderation bias, we have yet another round of nonsense from moderator mistybear87.

First, a red card for an alleged "attempted coup."

Then, a red card for "insulting forum members":

The first instance is frankly ridiculous. Even the moderator likely realized it, considering the points expired almost immediately. So, the moderator's ego is satisfied—he handed out a card. I can't explain it any other way.

As for the second case, what is there to say? 🤦
What kind of insult was that?

Not a single user perceived that post as an insult; in fact, it actually sparked a brief discussion about the image itself.

Except, of course, for the moderator, who decided—for reasons known only to God—that the post was offensive.

Regarding the first card: I ask that the moderator sticks to his own business in the future and stops involving me in these little games. 🙄

Regarding the second card: I would like it removed.

Thanks.

Hamilton in one sentence: After Sebastian Vettel, there was Sebastian Vettel.😁

They can't build cars durable enough to survive what these two can destroy.

Starting this thread by copying from Wikipedia. 🤦

pit-race 🤦

mom's boy 🤦

Expecting a dull race, with Michael Schumacher taking the top spot on the podium. 🙏🙏🙏 ☕

Joshua Newman2 said:I realize I might be playing it unfair by underselling Felipe Massa, but I truly don't think he belongs in the same conversation as Robert Kubica.

Time will tell, I suppose.

Everyone predicted Kimi Räikkönen would leave Felipe Massa in the dust, yet we saw things didn't exactly pan out that way.

It’s pretty obvious that the new FIA rule regarding the 25-meter gap before releasing a car from the box isn't being enforced at all this season.

From what I can see, they aren't even handing out warnings.

What’s everyone else’s take on that recent Scuderia Ferrari Safety Car deployment?

I honestly feel like they could have handled it much more simply by just closing the pits—maybe some yellow flags in that tricky section—rather than calling out the Safety Car. It felt like a massive blow to the leaders at such a critical moment.

😲Which kid, Hamilton 9.3 miles/h faster than Button😕?

Button was on a wet setup from the start.

A desperate move—but it paid off this time. Just like in Australia... though unlike the next ten years of that driver's career.

nimblesurfer17 said:Interesting stuff. Really interesting..☕

If the magnificent one can just grab a podium by the end of the season—maybe even a win—then 2011 belongs to us.

Thomas Morales13 said:creates endless headaches for his teammates, making it nearly impossible for them to fight for the title alongside him.

Should he just step aside every time he sees Fernando Alonso on track?

If Massa were truly that subpar, Alonso would be pulling away from him effortlessly. That isn't what we're seeing.

Thomas Morales13 said:So Massa isn't even a title contender after all.

Remembering 2008. 😉

rustystag7 said:He'll just grab some points and then it'll be like Alonso and Hamilton at Mercedes.

Conclusion - having no bread with Alonso. 😁

Morgan Murphy7 said:The Great and Terrible Michael Schumacher

🙏

Greatness doesn't care about cultural divides or national borders, does it? 🙏

stormybadger8 said:Lewis Hamilton is a great driver—dirty, sure, but aggressive and talented.

Lewis Hamilton isn't a dirty driver on the track. He just knows how to be aggressive, both with his competitors and with his own car.

I don't see any flaw in that. Quite the opposite, actually.

And he's fast, almost like Vitaly Petrov. 🙏🙏🙏

cosmicridge5 said:Rather than redirecting all that hate toward Lewis Hamilton, why not aim it at everyone else 🙏🤣

And let's not forget Jenson Button 🙂

Alonso has always been a lucky guy, while Jenson Button seems to be at the mercy of the weather.
Canada 2006, then Australia this year, and now China.

Joshua Newman2 said:Jenson Button is making everyone look foolish again—especially those who dismissed him as just another mid-tier driver on par with Massa or Webber.

I don't think I've ever overestimated Button this much before. ☕ 🙏
