Lots of people not trusting el plan itt. Shameful. Ocon WDC 2022, Alonso retires on a motorbike driving off towards the sunset, Piastri WDC with Alpine in 2023.

I don't think it matters if you are a Lewis fan, Max fan or a neutral, that was a lovely end to a lovely season. Well done to Max on becoming WDC - he did nothing wrong yesterday. Commiserations to Lewis on not becoming WDC - he also did nothing wrong yesterday. However, the FIA need a long hard look at themselves. The WDC should be decided on the track not in the stewards office or even a court. There was absolutely no need to create this farcical situation, but throughout the entire season the decision making and lack of consistency has been appalling. I actually feel most sorry for Max in this because there are only 2 scenarios for him ...either his WDC is tainted by controversy or (very unlikely I believe) its taken off him by a court. Neither driver is to blame for that.

The fan fiction that he will somehow need to come to terms with the fact that he won a “tainted” championship and somehow thus be karmicly punished is pure sour grapes. Winning is winning. Even if they did take it away from him in court (lmao if anyone is counting on this), it won’t take away the feeling of pulling off that last lap overtake and winning on the track. He’s a champion. Come to terms with it and stop posting cringe.

Anyone post about this yet? New sporting regs next year just got announced based on the latest data on audience engagement and driver safety. I dunno if it'll please everyone but there are some good points: Qualification has been streamlined, with the Sunday starting grid decided in two rounds. First round is decided by which team boss manages to generate the most beef with the FIA (most beef in front, bottom 10 eliminated). The second round is the penalty round where the FIA reacts to the beef and assigns grid penalties. Following the success of the 2021 Spa and Abu Dhabi experiments, the race will then proceed under safety car for the minimum number of laps before a one-lap "shootout" where the leading car benefits from 50% less grip (to ensure motor racing). The real race winner is then decided by a televised court proceeding before the drivers are herded back to their communal house for another week of dramatic roommate squabbles and romantic intrigue

He did a great job slowing Lewis down in a way that Bottas has never been able to do, but the Merc quickly pulled a big lead out again. Barring a mechanical issue Lewis was on for the win until the SC. I'd love to see Checo put a WDC challenge together next year but I think Red Bull will be doing team orders from round one.

The only way the FIA can be forgiven is if they start letting Ferrari do blatantly illegal things again. That'll balance out the karma.

Khablam posted:Merc had a significant straight line advantage in the early races. I forget the race (China?) where Max using DRS wasn't enough to do more than hold position behind botass for 20 laps. The RBR was often much better in the corners which gave Max single lap pace, but there's less value for it in most races as you'll just get passed on the straights and not be able to pass back. ilmucche posted:This is a good post This is a terrible post; like most Khablam posts it is not rooted in reality.

Just because Mercedes is huffing and puffing and whining and appealing doesn't mean any of that is rooted in reality either. The race director followed the regulations, the stewards confirmed it already; Mercedes are crazy if they think an appeal is going to change anything. straight up brolic posted:The fan fiction that he will somehow need to come to terms with the fact that he won a “tainted” championship and somehow thus be karmicly punished is pure sour grapes.

I recall Lewis being in this situation before, tied on points and the other guy had one more race win that season. That time it worked out for him, this time it didn't. Better luck next time.

I think it put Lewis outside of the zone where it is safe to pit under a safety car (gap between Max and Lewis was small enough that Max would have come out in front of Lewis had Lewis pitted) so indirectly, it helped Max clinch the win by making Mercedes choose to leave Lewis out twice on the same set of hards
