PP - Hamilton
FL - Verstappen

shadowstag10 said:Just so we’re all clear—the only reason I stepped up to lead this whole mess was because everyone was losing their minds over how fast the points were being calculated after the Race. And now? Now you’ve got me stuck in this impossible spot where if I decide nobody gets the PP—even though TBF1D is totally right, and honestly, has every reason to walk away from the game entirely—I’m the bad guy. On the flip side, silentbear49 couldn't care less, yet I’ve got Fortin, Amanda Kelly, and darkmarlin16 breathing down my neck if I give Valtteri Bottas the PP. So, fine. I'm giving Valtteri Bottas the PP because that’s what the rules say, and that hasn't changed regardless of any recent tweaks.

As for next season, I’m seriously weighing whether I even want to deal with this headache again.

Well, we're all grateful to you for taking on that messy, less-than-glamorous job.😁👍

Now you’ve put me in a spot where if I decide nobody—or maybe Hamilton—gets the PP, then TBF1D, who is right in my opinion and has good reason to say he doesn't want to play anymore, gets sidelined. On the other hand, I guess silentbear49 doesn't really care either while graniteharbor502, Amanda Kelly, and darkmarlin16 start complaining if I give the PP to Valtteri Bottas.

😁 I mean, honestly, that's probably just the classic difference between high-conflict personalities and everyone else.🤣

All jokes aside, just know you're doing a great job. Thanks for the effort, and don't let it get to you.😍

Edit:
Now I’m gonna end up looking like I'm trying to snatch the win away from cosmicridge5, but that’s not it at all. It’s just that I don't see the point in handing out points to people who followed the rules when they interpreted Hamilton's penalty that way. Honestly, I'd much rather they just make a concession for everyone who was confused and award the points to Hamilton too.

hahha, don't sweat it 🤣😍😁

I'll admit the embarrassing truth—when I was writing my prediction, I had no idea how Luja's penalty would be calculated. Then I saw that Fortin put him on Pole position, so I figured he must know the rules inside out and concluded that the person who takes Pole before the penalty is applied counts. 🤣 So, that's why I put Luja on Pole and Bottas for the win. 😁

Fortin, this is on you 🤣

Regardless, I support whatever decision the director makes 👍 😁

Way to go, Max 👋 🙂

Nice work, Maestro 🙏 😍

I guess I’m actually enjoying this season

Exactly, Bottas! Get lost, James! 😍 🤣

Sam Clark75 said:What a total mess with the tire strategy at Luja—honestly, he just needs to drive instead of whining. It’s basically over for him now, though I guess he’s technically right

Anyway, here are the fastest laps listed below.🤣

Bernie thinks they're cowards 😬

"I would have told the teams and the drivers at 3pm, ‘it is raining, we are prepared to put it off for an hour and hope the weather is going to change. But no matter what happens the race will start at 4pm and then it is up to you whether you take part or not.’

"If you want to take a risk, it is up to you, and if you don’t want to, don’t. If you think it is dangerous racing quickly, don’t race quickly.”

"But it is a different group of people now, and they didn’t have the courage and they don’t want to take risks."

Bernie Ecclestone accuses F1 bosses of lacking courage over Belgian GP decision

He's even drawing parallels to Afghanistan 😬

Ecclestone, 90, continued: “In a dangerous sport, things can happen and people can get killed.

“When people are cleaning windows in big office blocks, the cradle can fall and they can die. And they don’t get paid an awful lot of money for doing it.

"These poor people who were fighting in Afghanistan were told they had to go there and fight, and it wasn’t their choice. It was dangerous and a lot of them got killed.

“If we were in the army and we were told we have to go to Afghanistan, we might have said, ‘bloody hell, that doesn’t sound safe, but we have to go, we don’t have a choice.’

“In yesterday’s case, the drivers had a choice. If they wanted to take a risk to get points, then it was up to them."

😁

Come on guys, don't call it just yet! 🤣

Now we just get to sit around for another 45 minutes waiting for them to officially tell us it's over. 🤣

Mazepin's fastest lap 😎

Three hours of watching this basically turn into a fishing trip, only for them to throw us two more laps under the Safety Car as a little dessert. Is that actually part of the plan? 😁

Starting in about 10 minutes

I just had a really nice nap in my armchair and I feel like a whole new person🙏 😁

Robert Cox46 said:It’s like some higher power—specifically rain (acting like a meteor strike or an earthquake)—is targeting some specific article they dug up. 😁

If I recall correctly, I think they mentioned it was regarding Section 10.3.9. 😁Maybe someone could dig it up and patch it back in? 😁
