man, this is peak objectivity—easily the best coverage you'll find in all of America or Asia

graniteharbor502 said:I find it rather absurd how most people were so incensed by team orders that effectively prevented drivers from doing the very thing we tune in to see in Formula 1, yet those same people now turn around and condemn Sebastian Vettel for his racing maneuvers. Personally, I should much prefer it if all drivers simply ignored the regulations during a race; let them actually race, shouldn't they?

Let the mob boo and let them chant; Sebastian Vettel continues to win regardless. He has finally caught up to Fernando Alonso in total victories, hasn't he?

Personally, this is my favorite part of the whole season.😁

Do you have any idea what those fans did at Monza?😍
They practically just threw away a 50% chance of winning a title over the next decade.🙏 🤣

After this, there’s zero chance Vettel moves to Ferrari. Before Monza, he might have actually considered it... now? Not even a remote possibility.😍

They just did the biggest possible favor for Red Bull, and potentially even for Mercedes or McLaren.😁

🤣

Honestly, out of the two funniest examples of team radio, this one takes the cake...

And then there’s the other one involving Hulk:
“Nico, kill the tires now, push, push like hell!”
I love it.🤣

William Bennett53 said:What kind of qualifying session was that?

The Renaults and Hamilton... 🙈
Hulk! 🙏 🙏 🙏

It’s looking like a classic Ferrari scenario. 🤣

Alonso: "Felipe is too quick."
I suppose Felipe isn't checking his radio, otherwise they might have warned him he was threatening the majesty of the team. And the result?

4. Felipe
5. Alonso

Pure masters. 🙏 🤣

Felipe was clearly on steroids all weekend.🤣
The whole weekend went by way too fast....

Turns out the local cops weren't exactly thrilled when they pulled him over for speeding in his silver Ferrari 458 on the way to the track.

He got slapped with a $150 speeding ticket and lost six points on his license. Tough luck.

Got slapped with a speeding penalty on the way to the track. Typical.🤣🤣🤣

It’s pretty obvious the whole country is going to hell. ☕

Why the vulgarity, kid!?

I don't get 😬

It’s actually pretty interesting—Sebastian Vettel was driving through those rain maps to try and save his gearbox a bit, which explains why you saw the lights flashing like that.

Are you perhaps referring to this incident here:

yeah

So, I find myself wondering, do you truly believe that was intended as a penalty?

Not starting next year (at least not for Kimi).

I haven't sat through the whole replay yet, but looking at this photo, I don't think there's any reason for a penalty since Kimi didn't actually go off track...
Kimi is just hugging the line here, and the line is definitely still part of the track.

I find myself in complete agreement with you there!
