F1 Belgian GP - Spa-Francorchamps

Edward Howard2 said:I’m still waiting for you to finally agree to go to some big-shot races... 😂

Look, I'm literally inviting you to the race!! 😂

Anyway, let me ask you... did you even watch qualifying?? Because, honestly, never does Kimi block during qualifying!! haha, I told you I'd catch you... if you didn't watch and you're digging through archives right now, you're just not a real F1 fan 😛

i ... what does an ideal miss look like when everyone is cheering? how does that even happen???????????

I'm just waiting for you to agree to the races "big racer"
It's plural, man, if you didn't notice. 😉

By the way, quick question... did you catch qualifying?? Like, never does Kimi block during qualifying!! haha I told you I'd catch you... if you missed it and you're hunting through archives, you aren't even a real F1 fan 😛

Since when did one exception become the rule? 🤷

placidsurfer9 said:and ... that perfect blue flag situation where everyone’s happy... what does that actually look like???????????

Alright, let me give you a quick lesson so you actually learn something here...
That happens when someone gets overtaken and simultaneously there isn't even a sniff of a chance to try and get that spot back
Just watch any random Formula 1 race and you'll see that basically every single overtake works that way, except for this one 😛

Kimi had to whip the car around because his rear tire just blew out😕

Edward Howard2 said:I'm just waiting for you to admit that races means
"big race" plural😉 it's plural, in case you didn't catch that.

Since when did one exception become the rule? 🤷

I mean, isn't it just common sense that you have to finish one race before moving on to the next?? 🤷

Suddenly you're out here trying to drive two at once 😲
and oh boy... it's just not worth it...

And this whole "exception to the rule" thing? It's gonna come back to bite you during qualifying eventually... 😁

Anyway, I'm done rambling about this. Probably boring everyone else too, so peace out!!

Edward Howard2 said:here’s a little lesson for you, since you clearly need one...
it’s any instance where a driver yields a spot without simultaneously creating an opening to get it back
just watch any Formula 1 race and you'll see that's how basically every single overtake works, except for that 😛

was there even a full car behind Kimi?????? and what happened was, Kimi was just braking more... 🤷who the hell do you think you're fighting, man?

placidsurfer9 said:I mean, isn't it just common sense? You gotta finish one race before you can move on to the next one!! 🤷

you’re acting like you're driving two races at once 😲
man, oh man... it just doesn't make any sense...

and honestly, leaning on that rule exception is gonna come back to bite you during qualifying sooner or later... 😁

Anyway, I'll stop derailing the thread here. I know most people aren't really feeling this topic either, so catch ya later!!

Since it looks like your memory doesn't stretch further back than last week, let me refresh your brain on the progression...

1. street racing, 2. road courses, 3. karting

Hit me up when you finally grow some guts 😉

Until then, peace...

Alright then... I think I'll just skip over this thread entirely, given all the various "experts" hanging around here. 🙂

Hamilton gets slapped with a 25s penalty, dropping him to third, while Massa cruises into the win

So much for his "tough" fight out there. What a joke.

So much for his "fair fight," I guess.
☕

Nah, it’s more about how the garbage officials always seem to find some excuse to penalize him whenever he's in the mix; the FIA🙂 refs🙂 are just total trash.👎 👎

Lewis loves diving down the inside and forcing his way through, acting like everyone else is just obligated to get out of his way. Well, he finally got exactly what was coming to him!🙏😍🙂👍🙂

Hit me up when you actually grow some balls 😉

Later...

We talked about all sorts of stuff... maybe two races, maybe three, but since you can't even commit to one, it doesn't matter.. and you can take that little attitude and shove it where the sun don't shine.

Matthew Foster46 said:Lewis Hamilton just loves to squeeze his way in from the inside—acting like everyone else is just an obstacle in his way, really. And hey, he finally got the payoff he deserved for that style of driving!🙏😍🙂👍🙂

I’ve heard people say Ayrton Senna was exactly the same way... 🤷

When you've got all these weirdos and certain descendants running the show at NASCAR, I guess I shouldn't be surprised by this decision either...

Props to Felipe Massa on the win. If the engine actually holds up, those wins are going to start rolling in. 😁

I guess they just have to make the championship more dramatic to squeeze out some extra cash. It’s the easiest way, right? Just throw in a bunch of incidents because those 70-year-old fossils at the top can't wrap their heads around track position when things get messy. Then, out of pure frustration, they start handing out penalties like candy. Under today's ridiculous rules, they probably would've stripped Ayrton Senna of the title just because he pulled a move or collided with Hill. Honestly, those old geezers are unbelievable.

Bradley Nelson2 said:Props to Felipe Massa on that win; if the engine actually holds together this time, we might actually see some victories. 😁

Look, NASCAR probably felt like they had to make up for that mess with Felipe Massa dropping out, and now that we're winding down the season, they’re really starting to ramp things up—just another classic example of how they handle things "professionally." 👎😬

Glad for him... he earned it... after everything disgusting he pulled, he got what was coming to him...🙏 🙏

👍

Just when you think you've seen every kind of predator out there, they throw another cheetah at you, don't they? It’s like that one guy at a dive bar who keeps telling the same story about his glory days, only this time, it's a whole different animal. Honestly, I feel like we're just collecting them at this point, stacking them up like old newspapers in a garage, waiting for the moment someone realizes we've got an entire zoo's worth of chaos sitting right under our noses. kaže:
So, get this—Lewis Hamilton just got slapped with a massive 25-second penalty, which basically nuked his chances and sent him tumbling all the way down to third place. It’s honestly wild how fast things can flip, isn't it? One minute you think you've got it in the bag, and the next, you're watching someone else celebrate on the podium. In this case, Felipe Massa swoops in and snatches the win right out from under him. It’s like being halfway through a perfect steak dinner only to have the waiter tell you they accidentally served you the wrong order and now you're stuck with side salad instead. Just total chaos.

Does it even make sense? Honestly, I’m sitting here staring at this and wondering if we're all just collectively losing our minds. Like, does any of this actually hold water, or are we just spinning our wheels in the mud for the sake of it? It’s like trying to find logic in a chaotic game of pickup football in a torrential downpour—you know deep down there's no rhyme or reason to the chaos, yet here we are, still trying to make sense of the madness. Sometimes you just have to step back and ask yourself if the whole thing is worth the headache. ☕
