Sarto Mutiny Posted August 19, 2023 Share Posted August 19, 2023 19 hours ago, scottsdad said: My memory of 2008 is different to this. What I remember of that season was Hamilton receiving a lot of penalties, some of them very dubious (eg at Belgium). What did Massa in that season was 2 things. Ferrari had all sorts of reliability issues. And Singapore - he should have won that but the race-fixing crash brought him into the pits and the hose didn't detach from his car. If he's suing anyone it should be Ferrari, Flavio Briatore and Nelson Piquet Jr. Yeah, it's been long forgotten but Massa lost an easy win at Hungary when his engine grenaded itself with three laps left, plus the crashgate business. Hamilton was bloody lucky that season, penalties notwithstanding. He has lost a couple of titles himself through bad luck/bad decisions, so swings and roundabouts. I wonder if this action goes ahead, will Hamilton consider suing over the ned of the 2020 season? Where does it end? I have a lot of sympathy for Massa, but I can't help feeling sleeping dogs should be left to lie. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
V.Aye.R Posted August 24, 2023 Share Posted August 24, 2023 Massa comes across as quite a pathetic character imo. If sky sports invited me to commentate on the Brazilian GP where I lost it in the last corner, id tell them to ram it. Although, I'm not Massa. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There's nothing to sue for in 2021, Massa's point is that the FIA knew about the whole Crashgate fiasco yet didn't do anything about it.

flyingscot Posted August 25, 2023 Share Posted August 25, 2023 Piastri loses the rear, but what on earth happens to Ricciardo here? That's a really strange line. Taken to hospital for further checks. Liam Lawson the reserve if he's struggling? 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Golden God Posted August 25, 2023 Share Posted August 25, 2023 Ricciardo seems to just drive straight into the wall, not even a lock up or anything. Bring De Vries back. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mr. Brightside Posted August 25, 2023 Share Posted August 25, 2023 Looks like he locks the left front brake after seeing Piastri in the wall. Still weird. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Seems weird as the on board looks like nothing at all in terms of his wrist. Hope Lawson does well, but not well enough to become an next years De Vries. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
flyingscot Posted August 26, 2023 Share Posted August 26, 2023 Lawson is probably who they should have picked in any case. DeVries was the wrong fit and not sure what they are getting out of Danny Ric 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mr. Brightside Posted August 26, 2023 Share Posted August 26, 2023 Incredible from Albon. Is he still within the Red Bull family? If so they have to be considering putting him back in instead of Perez. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Marko seems to be an absolute nightmare to work for, can’t win either cause if you challenge Verstappen then they’d be raging and if you have a spell like Perez is just now you’ll get punted. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If so they have to be considering putting him back in instead of Perez. Albon is showing the potential he's always had because he has a team behind him. He wouldn't get that at Red Bull as team mate to Verstappen again. Then again if he's happy with Williams he will help the team grow, stay where he is. He could do with a more consistant quick team mate though. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Marko is probably going to be out and retired soon. I thought he had stepped back over the last couple of seasons and is more of a consultant these days. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
