Chris Ortiz said:Oh, absolutely, there was also that bus incident where everyone seemed to crash right before it happened.
What actually ended up happening with that situation? I know they had to redo the start, but how many drivers were even left in the running?
If I recall correctly, Michael took the win in that race, didn't he?
Chris Ortiz said:just as Jerković always claims that Fernando Alonso, Kimi Räikkönen, Hem, Vettel, Robert Kubica—and I’d throw Jenson Button into that mix as well—are the top tier, while those other two are merely second rate... personally, I find Mark Webber more impressive because he actually managed to pull off results even when stuck in subpar cars, especially during qualifying sessions.

Nicole Reyes97 said:You’d be much better off keeping an eye out to see if Kimi actually drove his car off a cliff into a ravine... because it looks like Alonso still hasn't found a gig as a comedian... ☕
Nicole Reyes97 said:Yeah, he's just trying to play to the crowd... 🙄
Nicole Reyes97 said:Yeah, exactly... that "diva squad" will always be bickering amongst themselves while the rest of the drivers—the smart, level-headed, and composed ones—are just circling like vultures, waiting for some "Alonso situation" to arise so they can finally nail him to the cross... ☕
Nicole Reyes97 said:Seriously, do you actually believe Alonso is such an idiot that he would just ignore a penalty order... 🙏 I suppose both he and Ferrari had plenty of reasons to be "disobedient," even if the claims that they were warned three separate times feel like a complete stretch to me... Sure, let’s just assume Alonso was being his usual calculating self, pushing for those fast laps so that even if he caught a penalty, he wouldn't drop too far down the order. But the reality is he was stuck right behind Rosberg after that incident happened...
That was just a racing incident, and if you look at the history of Formula 1, there have been plenty of moments like that which could easily be prosecuted objectively...
But... just like you said yourself: you’re probably better off staying blissfully ignorant in your own little bubble... 👍
Tyler Ross86 said:Anyway, I spent my shift today messing around with some math, trying to map out a specific strategy:
Basically, you start with $17 and just keep rolling the entire amount—including your profits—on parlays with a total odd of 1.20... here is how those numbers look in US dollars depending on how many winning tickets you hit in a row:
First winning ticket = $20
After 10 wins in a row, you're sitting at = $103
The 15th ticket = $257
The 18th ticket = $444
The 21st ticket = $767
The 25th ticket = $1590
The 30th ticket = $3956
The 35th ticket = $9844
Roger Wright94 said:First of all, we don't have access to the precise timing of any of those conversations or how this whole situation actually unfolded.
Until we have that data, your assessments aren't exactly hitting the mark...
And do you honestly believe that the people doing this job constantly—hardcore professionals who live and breathe this stuff—are actually the idiots you're painting them out to be?
Do you truly think that you or I possess more information than they do?
silvercobra68 said:Thank God, it seems like at least a few people have finally opened their eyes...
Maybe the time will finally come when we can openly admit that Alain Prost was the superior, more complete driver compared to Ayrton Senna... and that those four world titles against three, along with fifty-one wins over forty-one, aren't just empty numbers on a page, but actual proof... To overcome...
One guy is out there enjoying his retirement while the other completely blew it, and that’s a reality we have to face head-on. One was smart, the other wasn't... those are just the facts, people, those are the plain and simple facts...
Bradley Nelson2 said:Can someone please just post a link to the stream on the main board instead of all this nonsense involving private messages...🙄
Jonathan Booth5 said:Of course they’re trying to downplay things, especially since Luca di Montezemolo won't stop spouting nonsense about anyone and everything at any given moment, seemingly oblivious to the fact that he represents the head of the most prestigious team in Formula 1. Such remarks inevitably tarnish the entire image of the sport, and frankly, the FIA is growing increasingly tired of their antics. It’s honestly infuriating; Jean Todt must be losing his mind at every single race seeing what they've turned this team into over the last three years.

When the SC is out on track, overtaking is strictly prohibited. Nobody passes anyone, under any circumstances, until Race Control gives the green light.
Only once the field has lined up—and provided the leader isn't already tucked in behind the SC—does Race Control signal that drivers can begin passing the SC. That's when the green light turns on (which is exactly what we saw during the race) until the moment the leader catches up to the back of the pack, at which point the yellow lights come on and overtaking is banned again.
