On top of that he seemed more concerned about the hit being called dirty than what he did to Trevor Lawrence.

It’s comments like that, that cause animosity and a drivers strike.

He would be good, but the FIA doesn’t want someone good, they want someone loyal to Sulayem.

A new US team is somehow bad for the brand but slavery, imprisoning rape victims, forced virginity inspections, Capitol punishment for homosexuality are all good qualities in F1’s eyes.

If don’t do the little things right you play like the Raiders did.

If he was off by less than a second as to when VSC would actually end, he would have ended up above the minimum time before he could slow back down.

He guessed and was way off, you can sugar coat it any way you want about almost guessing correctly but he took an unnecessary risk.

We have seen countless sprinters jumping a start when they are held for longer than usual time and it was not because all those people crumbled under pressure.

I never said he crumbled, just cracked, if he keeps making these kinds of mistakes then he’ll crumble. Sprinters that jump the gun do crack under the pressure. Max made a mistake because of the pressure.

He was 0.63 seconds below the minimum, over a half a second indicates he was overly focused on being right on top of Piastri rather than his margin. Max appears to get more reckless under pressure.

He’s cracking under the pressure.

Is the bidding like in cards where your time would be deleted if you don’t hit the laptime?

I’d like to see the telemetry data, Max could have turned into Norris on T4, which would explain the 10s penalty.

Max was clearly behind when he ran Lando off the track. I’m betting the telemetry showed it was intentional.

I’d love it if Emulators added a license clause forbidding Nintendo and Nintendo affiliates from using it then took them to court.

You mean promising players money you don’t have is bad management.

Lewis is defiantly on the decline but I’ve seen no evidence that Albon is even close to Lewis.

If only there was a group that wanted to enter f1 and was bringing an engine supplier.

I’m surprised that sourkraut topped pizza is not thing there.

I actually held an FIA license, though not a Super license for a hand full of years. Let it lapse.

So you don’t know about the requirements for a superlicense, that was all ready evident.

Logic. You don’t spend money on a hundred million dollar car so a rookie can put it into a wall without the ability to make hundreds of millions more in return.

So no evidence to support that claim, add to that the young drivers tests since they were enacted have used the the car from the season that just ended.

You’d be amazed what little difference that makes. Used to know a guy that raced a Formula Ford and a CanAm car on a race weekend. He switched between them like there was no difference

So you heard from a friend … Guess we know why your racing career didn’t progress, you can’t feel the difference in a huge power increase.

You should read up on super license requirements, they are renewed annually drivers need 100km in an F1 car in a practice session. Further all qualifications expire after 3 years so all drivers need practice laps to renew their license.

These rookies will not be driving the current iteration of a F1 car.

Do you have a source for that? The young drivers test, which this is replacing, teams used the current car.

But, the difference between an F2 car and last year’s iteration of a F1 car is not that great, except perhaps the braking.

Except for 40% more HP, tons more downforce, F1 cars are 10 seconds faster on just about any f1 circuit many circuits it’s 20 seconds.

Hell, I really don’t care if they run them, I’m just calling it what it is - a gimmick

You clearly do as evidence by your responses. Is it a gimmick when they run the young drivers test?

They get a Super license through F2.

Yes they can earn a license through F2, but if they are a champion they can’t come back.

A driver who has held a valid super licence for any of the previous three seasons is eligible for a new licence if they have completed 100 km in a free practice session in the last 3 years

I haven’t seen a problem with the rookies who have started in F1, have you? Bearman, Colapinto, have all done pretty well in full F1 races without further F1 car experience. And let’s not forget all those guys on the grid that came in to the sport without any big F1 car experience and have done just fine.

Because of such limited opportunities only a few drivers even get a chance to drive an F1 car. Why are you so against more drivers getting opportunities to prove themselves.

What currently happens is back up drivers get one P1 session a season and some test laps. Sims, F2, and F3 cars are not the same as driving a real F1 car, that’s why none of those can be used for the 100km f1 driving requirement (testing doesn’t count either) for a super license.
