F1 Belgian GP - Spa-Francorchamps

Arthur Doyle70 said:But Max Mosley was playing games with you,😂😂😂

I used to give him a piece of my mind every time he acted up, looks like I’ll have to start doing it again.🙂

Formula 1 — gone too soon 🙂

So, you're telling me 25 seconds is a fair penalty....?????? I mean, how many seconds could he have actually gained through that chicane? If they hadn't been side-by-side, he would've just been screwed anyway, so it's the exact same result.... It’s honestly just not right.... Hemić was the fastest on track, that's just a fact, and they can go screw themselves with all this talk about making the season "interesting." Who gives a damn

And what exactly was he using to "soothe" you? 🤣🤣

fadedpanther4 said:Is this some kind of racist insinuation, or am I just speaking gibberish? 🤷

My bad. Forgot to sanitize myself before jumping on the forum. 🙄

Formula 1 died today, and I suppose this was the very last race I’ll ever bother watching, though I have been following this sport since 1981.
I mean, honestly, when you consider the sheer scale of how the Italians can bribe just about anyone or find a way to screw over everyone else involved—regardless of the sport they're playing—it's almost unparalleled; I don't think anyone could ever hope to match their level of manipulation.

Arthur Doyle70 said:And what exactly was he "caressing" you with? 🤣🤣

I'd love to know, really. But a lady never tells. 😁

placidsurfer9 said:But is a 25 second penalty actually fair...? I mean, how much time could he have really gained by using that chicane?

He’d lose just as much anyway, considering he'd have to sit through a 10-second stationary penalty plus another 15 seconds just to pull into the pits and get back out on track.

Of course, I’m dying to get the full psychological breakdown of your client.

The lady always expects a little something for her silence.😁

I mean, nobody else can bribe people or screw everyone over quite like the Italians can. They pull it off in every single sport, and honestly, no one is ever going to catch them at that level of shady business.

Max is just salty toward McLaren because he thinks they're the ones who made his performance look pathetic!!!!!

Totally agree!! 👍

placidsurfer9 said:Max probably just holds a grudge against McLaren because he thinks they're out to make him look bad on camera!!!!!

I'm right there with you. 👍

🙏🙏🙏

Our unofficial motto? "No penalty against McLaren is ever big enough."

Actually, something else just crossed my mind.
The McLaren drivers are constantly playing dirty, and predictably, they keep getting slapped with penalties for it.

There really should be some kind of cumulative penalty for repeat offenders. It’s the only way to beat it through their heads that you can't win by playing cheap.😁

What a complete joke. It’s finally crystal clear who the FIA is actually playing for now.

Does anyone actually know who was on the board that decided on the penalty for Lewis Hamilton?

Nobody in their right mind 😂

Roger Wright94 said:Anyway, something else just crossed my mind.
Those McLaren drivers are always playing dirty, and predictably, they just end up picking up whatever penalties come their way.

There really ought to be some kind of cumulative penalty for repeat offenders, just to beat the idea out of their heads that they can find success through cheap tricks.😁

Maybe we suggest something more drastic, like a mass purge of the FIA and the stewards, or perhaps a ritualistic burning of the headquarters in Monaco if anyone feels the urge to cheat, play dirty, or show blatant favoritism.
I'm with you on that, sounds like a solid plan.😁

Being a real sportsman means being Ferrari, and what Hamilton did wasn't Ferrari...

The guy cuts the corner and then lets Kimi by by barely half a car length. We all saw it.

Maybe the penalty was a bit much, but he earned it.

He pushed his luck, now he can deal with the consequences...

The guy cuts the corner and then lets Kimi by with barely half a car length to spare—I mean, we all saw that happen.

Maybe the penalty was a bit much, but honestly, he earned it.

👍

I’d probably give Massa another 10 points just because he didn't even try to fight anyone... honestly, he was being way too sweet about it!!

The penalty wasn't even that harsh.
Given what that guy pulled, he deserved a drive-through—simple as that. Since the race was already wrapped up, they just tacked on the time it would’ve taken him to serve it during the race.

And yeah, I'm stoked for Ferrari... both of them.😁
