EU, June 25–27, "Miami street Circuit

Everything just went completely sideways today. Honestly, there’s no telling who’s footing the bill and who’s just out there drinking the profits away.

Glock deserved the penalty (even if he basically handed it to them by slamming into the wall), not to mention that cost Kobayashi a few seconds too... maybe enough so he wouldn't have to fight his way past Alonso and Buemi, but could've just cleared them and then picked off Sutil in the final corner, who knows?

As for those blue flags, I didn't catch that happening, so I can't really weigh in on it...

It doesn't matter, Slavica will probably just spend it all back here in America 🙏 🙏 🙏

wearypanther34, wouldn't you, as a die-hard McLaren driver, be relatively satisfied with silver and bronze? 🤣

Honestly, Hamilton's penalty was completely justified.

Vettel should have completed a full lap—passing the line where the queue would have formed behind the SC—to take the lead properly.

The way Hamilton approached it, it looks like he expected the entire grid to just overtake the SC before forming a line, which is honestly a bit reckless and just plain foolish.

In my opinion, he should have been penalized even more strictly. Anyone who breaks the rules just to find a loophole and gain an advantage needs to face much harsher consequences.

To be fair, though—I highly doubt that decision was entirely Hamilton's alone.

Man, it's like you don't know how McLaren drivers work... they act like their results don't mean anything. Honestly, maybe the only thing that would actually make them happy is a ceremonial burning of Alonso in the middle of a massive town square. 😁

redheron12 said:Hmm, yeah—it wasn't always this messy with the competition; there used to be a bit more respect shown toward rivals and their fans.

I think at least half the forum is tearing into Lewis now—not really because of him, though, but mostly because of his fanbase. 😁

Summa cum laude, we’ve effectively widened our lead over the rest of the field today. 😁

And that’s all without even touching the car with an update...😁

As for that first point, you're spot on. 😁

🙂 😍and while we're at it, I might just toss a few fans onto the pyre too, just so they'll finally shut up. If things were still like they used to be, people would actually show some respect. But nowadays, some folks just don't deserve it.😍

I'd love to see that happen! Even the voices of reason from your side 😲 Are we expecting an earthquake?? 😲 😁

🤦 I honestly couldn't care less about Fernando; he can do whatever he wants, as long as he just drives the car and keeps his mouth shut.☕

Everything was written in bold, and then you just tacked on Hamilton at the end based on your own posts—honestly, you couldn't have described yourself any better. 😉🤣🤣 That’s just how I see things, anyway.😍

Has anyone else thought about Webber after the race and wondered how he actually pulled that off at the start? Like, dropping from second all the way down to ninth without even a tiny collision or flying off the track... I’m genuinely curious to see what kind of explanation they come up with...

Why wasn't it shown at the start that something flew off his race car because he brushed against Button?

It seems like you have the memory of a goldfish, so let’s do a quick refresher here:

Rebecca Fox4 said:Hamilton's situation didn't have any direct impact on Alonso's race at all.....but what can you really say about a man who worries more about whether his neighbor's cow is going to drop dead than how he actually plans to drive his own machine...

To that vague little argument of yours, I provided an answer which you are now simply quoting and repeating back to me:

Rebecca Fox4 said:If Alonso had broken the rule too, he would have finished 3rd... maybe even 2nd. So much for your mental horizon.

So, essentially, because of Hamilton's rule violation and Alonso's compliance with that same rule, Hamilton secured a significant points advantage that could prove decisive by the end of the season... which means that what you're calling "Hamilton's case" absolutely affects Alonso and all the other title contenders as well...

Yeah, if possible, maybe you guys should just stop looking at Lewis whenever he starts acting like a complete jerk. 🙂

Hmm—considering how McLaren is developing their car—an update should actually be a massive leap forward. What others call an "update," we seem to prepare for every single race 😁

I didn't catch that...

I'm not so sure; I read somewhere that our suspension setup is quite low, which isn't exactly ideal for the EBD. But then again, for the Crybaby, even this current configuration is more than enough. 😍

To us, it’s the voice of reason—but for everyone else...

Well, let's face it—not everyone makes the cut on Ron Dennis's team. 😍

What really catches my eye is the new exhaust and diffuser setup. Word is they’re trying to spit out a Red Bull-style 😁

Man, I can only imagine how our guys will react; first they'll go after them, and then they'll really give them a hard time 👋
