That penalty for Sebastian Vettel was ridiculous; they should've penalized Lewis Hamilton for stalling too.

And Lewis Hamilton is such a softie, constantly whining over the team radio like a little kid.🤣🤣🤣

Since when?🤔
They basically just make comedies now.

stormybadger8 said:That’s exactly what you see when comparing Williams and Ferrari. Ferrari might actually be faster on a single lap when they have clear air, but if they're stuck behind a Williams, they're stuck. The Williams just pulls out of the corners much better and accelerates harder.
It doesn't even matter that Ferrari has practically the same top speed as Williams—the engines might be close in power—but the Williams gets to that top speed way faster than the Ferrari 😉

Honestly, it wouldn't matter if Williams was behind Ferrari; the result would be exactly the same.

redheron12 said:Even Lewis Hamilton wouldn't get sponsors at this rate.

That’s not true, especially since he's exactly who Honda picked. Given the current situation with Dennis, we'll see how things play out. Honestly, those deals were settled ages ago; all this drama over the selection is just "fake news" to keep the fans entertained...

gentlecobra23 said:It’s hard for McLaren to gain something they don't already have. They've got a solid driver lineup. Plus, sponsors will show up regardless of whether the Japanese partners are there or if Lewis Hamilton is on the grid.

But those Japanese sponsors aren't going to want Magnussen or Button.😁

Too bad. All we need now is for a Goodyear tire to blow on the SC car🤣🤣

It’s honestly embarrassing for Button. He played dirty against his own teammate on track,
but when he's up against the actual competition, he looks like he's just standing still while they lap him.🙂🙂

Thomas Ortiz3 said:From what I can gather, the company initiating the seizure didn't act without legal grounds. I don't see any link between the collection agency and the company that mistakenly wired the funds to his account...

The connection is simple: the enforcement firm is holding the funds originally sent by that initial company. It raises a fair question—why on earth wouldn't they just go back to them?😕 (though we all know why they won't)😁

Just to give the author a little more clarity, the legal fees would roughly look like this:
- the initial filing fee $33
- the response to the lawsuit—which might be waived
- the opposing side's legal fees—roughly 3 billable hours x $167 + sales tax = $922
- his own lawyer's fees—it’s unlikely he’d have those, since anyone would probably just advise him to settle.
So, the total amount he’d end up paying is basically equal to the principal itself. Plus, you have interest piling up, though not a huge amount, maybe just a few hundred bucks.

What could he possibly claim to have spent??? I really don't follow the logic behind that sentence.

Again, this could likely be wrapped up in about three to four months, assuming we're just looking at the timeframe for an initial judgment.
If a judge sees a clear-cut case like this, they’ll likely want to move quickly just to keep their own caseload statistics looking good. They'd probably serve the defendant immediately and schedule a hearing right away.

You all seem to be ignoring the fact that this is an unjust enrichment case, even after the Grinch pointed it out. It doesn't matter who's at fault, who's nice, who's mean, or who has money and who doesn't... the main point remains: I wouldn't pay it back.
Well, go ahead and don't pay it back, but just keep in mind the massive legal fees you'll be racking up because of it.

Fair point, so why not just sue the company that processed the levy?
If it isn't his money (and it isn't), then it isn't theirs either.

Can you send me the link via DM?

I made it home by 6, stayed awake through the first lap, and then crashed😁

The penalty feels overkill. I was expecting them to just call him into the pits immediately, or if they didn't do that, at least slap him with a 10-place grid penalty for the US Grand Prix - Miami. But look, he earned it. It’s not even about whether he cut the chicane—he didn't actually have to do that—it's just that there was zero chance he was going to get near Kimi or mount an actual attack. Since his team gained an advantage from it, it's punishable. He should've taken a second to think and just passed him at the next corner.🤷

Angela Sanchez46 said:Just look at what happened in Japan between Mass and Kubica—they kept cutting across the grass and the track. Someone mentioned a 25-second pit lane penalty, but you could practically fuel an entire car in that time and still not hit 25 seconds. That penalty is way too harsh. As for Mass, he’s a solid driver; he wouldn't be where he is today if he wasn't. But he just doesn't have the ability to overtake anyone. Once the rain starts, look at how Alonso used to tear it up at the US Grand Prix—Mass just falls apart.

It takes about 20-25 seconds just to complete a full pit stop.
The situation with Kubica and Mass is different; they were just battling each other through a couple of turns off the racing line. They could have let both go or penalized both, but either way, it's fair for everyone involved.

Arthur Doyle70 said:Lap 42, yellow flag. Kimi overtakes under the yellow flag—no penalty given.

Then again, I can't help but remember when Kimi absolutely bullied Sutil out there and walked away without a single penalty. Why is Kovalainen getting penalized for something similar today?

That’s because he didn't overtake anyone, so Rosberg had to move out of the way while Hamilton was off track.😁

Old man Kimi didn't even finish in the points, so what exactly are they going to penalize him for?

Edward Howard2 said:Come on, what are you basing that on? Did someone give you a tip? Got some "inside info" or something? 😂😂

Check the lap times before you start making jokes like that...

Fernando Alonso was 0.020 slower than Raikkonen in Q2, and 0.091 slower in Q3. All that tells you is that Raikkonen's car is lighter than Alonso's, not the other way around.😛

Don't hold your breath. He'll be overtaken within a few laps....

And that was probably just because they headed toward the "fake" pole position area to get closer to the fans...

granitefox16 said:Which part of my post did you not get? What exactly am I supposed to be doing on the court to hear the call during a timeout? Is it actually different when you're watching it on TV?🙄

Like I said, the TV expert...

granitefox16 said:I love these guys who wander into sports twice a year and suddenly think they’re experts🙄, have you been told that even LeBron James doesn't walk into the locker room at halftime? You saw who was actually calling the shots during that timeout, but hey, keep playing the expert.

The players won this championship while that clown has been riding their coattails for ages.

But please, continue with your "analysis," professor.😉

And nothing is crazier than people watching from their couches thinking they know everything better than the pros.😂

Sandra Wilson38 said:Look, I've never actually spoken out against Lin until last year. I’ve never denied all the great work he did for American basketball. But his time is up. Today, he's just a joke.

That joke got us to the finals again, though. We need to replace him ASAP.🤣🤣
