Yeah that video is years old, and I'm pretty sure its football.

I agree with this. But couple of times when Lewis dropped the ball, he would step up and keep Ferraris from winning.Schuttelberg wrote: ↑07 Sep 2020, 19:00Yes I am talking about Bottas. I think Felipe was a feisty little character and while he was no Hamilton, he wasn't a pu$$y! Obviously, I'm not talking about the likes of Badoer or Yammmamoto or Ide but I don't think I've seen a worse driver than Bottas in a championship capable car and he's the worst by some margin. Obviously, he'll win another couple of races this year but he is not the foot nail of Rosberg and let's not even talk about Hamilton even though Lewis is Lewis and being his team mate is very hard.NathanOlder wrote: ↑07 Sep 2020, 14:42
Thats harsh on Massa, or please tell me your not talking about Bottas ? If Bottas is the worst F1 driver you have seen, you clearly have only watched the 2 Mercedes cars this year and no other car in F1 ever. Come on man , be serious.
Exactly, why don't they just introduce a speed limit when the VSC is activated?
Wait, the flashing lights actually switch between SC and X? Surely that could be missed as well?Diesel wrote: ↑08 Sep 2020, 16:12Great video on this page showing the start of the SC period from car 44, the call to box and the pitlane closure signs https://www.formula1.com/en/latest/arti ... 7IkGi.html
Literally an extra second either way and he would have been fine, gutting in some ways for Merc.
No, I think only the last two boards before the pit lane entry flashed Pit Lane Closed, which in itself is a bit confusing.SiLo wrote: ↑08 Sep 2020, 17:11Wait, the flashing lights actually switch between SC and X?

On come on... I’m a big fan of Hamilton but this wasn’t a case of let’s spice things up for Hamilton. Mercedes has at least 60 people watching screens, that no one is scrolling trough thé announcements, even when they are on page 4 is beyond me. That Sauber missed it... well, almost expected.PlatinumZealot wrote: ↑08 Sep 2020, 19:54This is why HAM will never get consecutive wins like Vettel or MSC.. The system is more rigged against him to "spice up the show". There was little concern of spicing up the show in MSC or Vettels or Rosbergs times.
In MSC time it was his sport. He was the king and no one dared disrupt proceedings.
In Vettel's time.. The show was fairly spicy already. We had a close top 8 and passing was much easier. FIA would let it be. Crown the Wunderkind!
For Rosberg's run of wins.. He was allowed because that was the spice! David vs Goliath.
Now with Lewis.. He is running away with it just like Schu did... But competition at front is non-existent, Max is driving by himself for 3rd, amd the FIA are not friends with Lewis. Worse the new owners are dead set on "lotto-fying" the whole thing. Or is "NASCARifying" a better term? Anyway.. The cards are stacked against Lewis every getting a clear road to beat the consecutive wins recors. It is on record I don't expect him to beat.
Correct, the last two boards which would have been flashing already changed to flashing an "X" symbol.
I admit that it's a little bit unluckily for Lewis and anyone in Mercedes not to realise that pit is closed but to say that system is rigged against Lewis is preposterous.PlatinumZealot wrote: ↑08 Sep 2020, 19:54This is why HAM will never get consecutive wins like Vettel or MSC..
