That’s exactly how I wrote it too—and honestly, I have zero intention of doing anything like that because I wouldn't even touch him with a ten-foot pole. Come on, don't you start telling me you don't get what I mean. 😕😁
Christian Williams61 said:Where on earth did I say I was going to do that to Hamilton? I wouldn't even go near him with a stick🙏 🤣
No problem at all.
thanks to you too 😍
Christian Williams61 said:Lewis 🤦 probably needs to start wearing sunglasses under his helmet since everything is blindingly bright in front of him anyway 🙂
So there's your champion for you. He can't even find a way to justify that total mess ☕

Don't be so out of context 😁 (2:1 🤣 )
Post the whole thing ....☕
McLaren
Lewis Hamilton (2nd)
“Into Turn One, I was very close to Sebastian Vettel, I went for the gap, I out-braked him and we went into the corner side-by-side. He gave me room, but we touched and the contact damaged my front wing. When the Safety Car came out, the team did a great job to change the nosebox and tyres. After that my pace was much better and I was able to push Seb, but it’s impossible to pass around here when the cars are so closely matched. Whenever a Safety Car comes out, it’s difficult to compute all the information. There are all these beeps in your ear, and lights flashing on your dashboard too. There’s got to be a certain time between the ‘Safety Car One’ line and the ‘Safety Car Two’ line, and between those two lines you can go fast. So it’s all a bit complicated. So I pushed past the last Safety Car line, and was obviously then trying to close the gap to Seb. But as I came out of the first corner, all of a sudden I saw the Safety Car coming out, so I backed off and went across the line as I did that, so I thought I was okay. When the team told me I had a drive-through penalty, I made time by pushing as hard as I could, and was able to increase the gap a bit to the guys behind. I took my penalty - it’s quite a long time to spend at 37 miles/h in the pit lane - and I came out second. I don’t see how that’s unfair - it’s racing, and those are the rules, and we all have to accept them.”

Jonathan Booth5 said:That’s how you drive, maco. 😍
Instead of waiting for someone to crash into a wall like they're chasing a BATon just to snatch a win. 🤷

You can clearly see him blow past both the Medical car and the SC right there!
stormybadger8 said:Bernie needs to lock himself in a basement with Max for a month, then we’ll see whose ass hurts more. 🤣
There’s no doubt about it: Bernie is a total jerk and quite literally the evil of this sport, but that's beside the point. 🤷
If that actually happened, then Alonso knew all about it. If so, they should have been banned from F1 for good, stripped of every single title and point they ever earned—including Piquet Sr.'s.
If little Piquet is lying, that’s actually the more likely scenario. I highly doubt he could pull off a move like that with such perfect timing. He’s just not an accurate enough driver for something like that.🤣Then it’s just a massive, dirty scandal. At that point, they should just penalize him and his dad by stripping away every single point and title they have, then scrub them both from F1 history entirely.
Unfortunately, since it’s actually true, we’re never going to find out anyway.
Maria Nelson2 said:WTF 🤷
Took another hit to the head again 🤷😁
stormybadger8 said:Not "best man," just Kobayashi. 😳
Alonso, you brought this on yourself. No point overthinking it.
He and Ferrari are solely responsible for this disaster. They have a car that we all know could easily overtake others, could easily dominate a race on a single set of tires, and they knew everyone else had already pitted. Their decision was pure stupidity—for Alonso, it was bad, but for Massa, it would've been better if they just parked him in the garage. ☕
I haven't seen tactical idiocy this bad even from Christian Horner and Red Bull Racing. Only the old man managed to outdo them today; he always has to be the best. 😳
I haven't seen tactical stupidity quite like this since the days of Horner and Red Bull Racing. Honestly, I guess Grandpa managed to outdo himself today—he always has to be the absolute best, doesn't he? 😳
stormybadger8 said:Look, nobody has a clue if Alonso is lying through his teeth or telling the truth. 🤷
But damn, I'll say it myself: overtaking the SC makes sense, everything seems fine there. The real question is why Alonso didn't do the exact same thing. 🤷 Did they signal that they weren't allowed, or was it just his own call? That's the heart of the issue right there. 😉
However, overtaking the ambulance under yellow flags (if that's actually what happened—weirdly enough, how does Alonso even know that?) is definitely not okay. You can't justify that, period. 🤷
This whole race is completely trashed because of that SC. Someone definitely needs to get hammered for this, though I have no idea who. 🤷 We need to figure out what actually went down. 😉
Potential penalties:
Lewis Hamilton - for overtaking if he wasn't told he was allowed to.
Alonso - if he was told he could go and chose not to, screwing everyone behind him.
Sebastian Vettel - if he overtook the SC too. 🤷
Race officials - if they're the ones who fucked this all up.
And finally, I don't know if anyone else caught this, but it looked to me like the marshals were waving blue flags while the old man was overtaking Ayrton Senna, Xavi Marcos, Timo Glock, and di Grassi. I don't get it—did he come out of the pits behind them and was just racing them normally? 😕
Maybe it’s just me, or maybe someone else was involved, but those flags were being waved from the side. 😕
As for Alonso and Nelson Piquet, they both should've been banned from Formula 1 forever for that (assuming it's actually true). I have zero doubts about that. ☕
Maria Nelson2 said:Those kinds of things...🤔
That’s just lovely of you...😁 ☕
Christian Williams61 said:And honestly, if he doesn't snap 🥳 I mean, can you blame us for wanting to hand him a bullet to the head? 🥳
Then the safety car came out, which wasn't ideal for our side of things, but Hamilton actually overtook the safety car, which was something I'd honestly never witnessed before—overtaking the medical car right under yellow flags.
