cosmicridge5 said:I don't see why anyone is acting like he earned it. It's not like he actually had to fight for it 😬 It was basically handed to him on a silver platter 😁
cosmicridge5 said:Give me a break. If Button had about 60 points right now and we were looking at this exact scenario over at McLaren, you really think they wouldn't do whatever it takes to ensure Lewis finishes first? Anyone who thinks otherwise is being incredibly naive. Whether it’s done through direct orders or some subtle coded messages, the end result is just as unfair. Though, I suppose you could argue whether it even counts as "unfair" when you consider the massive stakes, the money, and the underlying politics, much like what Blaze and Novak were mentioning earlier.
That whole fuel situation at McLaren is basically just a team order 🤷 wrapped in a slightly more sophisticated disguise, but it's still transparent to everyone watching. We all know team orders exist; it’s nothing new or surprising. The only difference is the method—at McLaren, they use fuel levels, whereas here they just tell Mass that Nando is faster, which he actually 😁
was.
So, what is the actual difference in the grand scheme of things? Let's not be hypocrites 😁
Michael Lee4 said:Felipe Massa 🙏 🙏 🙏
Way to go, Felipe 🙂

Michael Lee4 said:Well... looks like they didn't screw him over after all. 🙏
Chris Ortiz said:Oh, absolutely, there was also that bus incident where everyone seemed to crash right before it happened.
What actually ended up happening with that situation? I know they had to redo the start, but how many drivers were even left in the running?
If I recall correctly, Michael took the win in that race, didn't he?
