The F1 Thread

It feels like f1 have abandoned their rules in order to make it the most dramatic thing ever.

That doesn't feel right in terms of sport - but I guess it's a business as much as anything else.

Exciting as f**k? Undoubtedly. But right thing to do? Not for me.

Fair play to Russell, toeing the party line very early. You have to respect it.

I wish Sky would get Damon Hill to f**k. Easily the most biased guy out there and a boring c**t to boot.

A lot of hamilton haters that will deny it on here like. Amazing year and i think overall verstappen deserved it but the fia have been a joke in the last few races including this one. Insane end to an insane season.

Will be interesting to see how they explain it.

The whole unlapping thing is an absolute nonsense though. Maybe they'll finally look at it

The free tyre change under a red flag needs to go as well.

Liberty Media obviously directed the FIA to set up a final lap showdown for a spectacular finale to end an amazing season.

Can only assume his deal started as soon as he crossed the line

The reason that's there is because basically everybody changes tyres under red 

[Scosha]

Is there any grounds for appeal on this? It’s funny as f**k but do Mercedes have a right for appeal and could potentially cause this to be overturned?

Nevermind Lewis, there's always the BBC Sports Personality of the Year.

Would also like to see them get rid of the "you need to use more than one compound of tyre" rule.

He's happier than Horner or Verstappen

I don't disagree but that mental determination and attitude is probably what helps get their kids to those levels.

The williams faither in tennis is similar.

Similar to Tiger Woods too. Probably quite a miserable existence as a child, and I'd imagine you'd end up with loads of issues in later life that'll likely lead to going a bit mental, but those issues also drive them to be ridiculously motivated and allow them to gain no pleasure from life unless they are the absolute best at their chosen sport. 

Think i'd maybe prefer a Dad who buys you cans of cider at 15 if i'm honest.

The perfect dad is the one who forces you to train non-stop, but buys you cider as a reward

[Mr. Brightside]

Still think Mercedes bottled it a bit with regards to not pitting under the safety cars. You'd think they'd back Hamilton to pass Verstappen, especially with their current speed advantage.
