Formula 1 talk.

Are we still arguing about Abu Dhabi?

Max won, he will forever be the champion for 2021, in the record books it will never be denoted that Hamilton was "robbed". FIA fumbled the decision, although I may be amongst the few that think the correct decision was to have them race for it, they just went about it the wrong way. I have said it before, they should have done what Nascar does and Red Flag so we get a Green Whited Checkered Finish.

On to bigger news, whats everyone have to say about the Andretti news?

1. Yes
2. Agreed Let’s see what happens if we find ourselves in the same position again.
3. YES!!! But two years is a long way off. Fingers crossed.

Hamilton is a world class driver hands down but he's managed to eclipse his driving accomplishments in becoming an even bigger diva. Without F1 Hamilton will fade in to oblivion.

Hamilton: FIA still need to do more to regain my trust (msn.com)

Hello; Interesting read. Funny thing is I thought the tens of millions of dollars top drivers get paid had something to do with how they get motivated. Guess I was wrong, Huh?

Most likely. But he”ll do it with $500m in his pocket. Let’s just pray that none of these drivers go though what Michael has. Fame and money mean nothing if it cannot be enjoyed.

Agreed. I don’t wish Hamilton any ill will. Unfortunately with so many at that level they lose the humility that would greatly benefit them and for sure later on down the road. I firmly believe social media is a cancer on society.

I’ve always thought the tire side of F1 was kind of a joke. On one had you have the pinnacle of automotive engineering and performance, and the other manipulating and diminishing that performance with intentionally holding the tires back.

Well we finally got rid of this useless rule.

From LH...

“This has nothing to do with Max,” Hamilton told reporters at the Mercedes W13 launch event.

“Max did everything a driver would do given the opportunity he was given.

“He is a great competitor and we will go into another battle like we did last year and conduct ourselves. We will obviously grow from our races and experiences we had last year also this season.

“I have no issues with him.”

Well said...

Now on to 2022..

True. Any other driver would have done the same thing in the situation.

For you Ferrari fans out there. And anyone else who would like to see 2022 be more than a two horse race.

Where have I heard this?

Fernando Alonso has played down the ongoing drama surrounding the way last year's championship finale played out.

When asked if he agrees that his former nemesis was "robbed" of his eighth title by the ousted Michael Masi's controversial decision, the 40-year-old insisted: "No.

"It was a big deal because it was the last race of the season," the Alpine driver added.

"But in 20 years something like that happened 200 times. 200 times to me, 200 times to Michael, 200 times to Montoya, 200 times to everyone. If it happens in the third or fifth race, it's no big deal.

"This time it was the last race with two laps to go"

Hello; I like that take on the incident. Similar to the point I have been making. The same sort of thing happened in earlier races to other drivers.
As some of us have written, Max got the bad calls in other races and the diva was just fine with the results going his way and against Max.
The drama after the season was over was just as it seemed to be. An attempt to sway the results by letting us believe he was thinking of quitting. I guess in hopes his celebrity status or spectator draw would get him what he wanted, an overturn of the results.

He is a good driver, but the car is the bigger star in the set. Put him in a bottom ten make and he will be an also ran same as others. My take is a number of drivers can win in that car.

Hello; Sad thing is some will find similar reasons to cancel other races. What did Vettel do?

Here you go. Haas is also screwed big time. I’m with Vettel, cancel the damn race, now. Need to send a message.

[Bikeman315]

Let the babies stay home. Vettel is a brat.

There are 5,000 guys behind him that will race even if there's a full out fire fight on the streets outside.

No there aren’t. They will all boycott if the FIA babies do not cancel. You do not go into a country that is at war to run a stupid car race. You really need to get your priorities in order.
