Deang Posted November 25, 2019 Share Posted November 25, 2019 It's a movie about two men, a car, and a track. It's excellent. See it in imax. I will probably go see it again before it leaves the big screen. Some of Christian Bale's best work. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ClaudeJ1 Posted November 25, 2019 Share Posted November 25, 2019 Saw it. It's good. Deserves the Rotten Tomatos top ratings it has from critics and public. Well done. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It still happens with code words and all. Wb F1's never really denied it..... and you're right, it sucks. When Ferrari firmly suggested that Ruben Barrichello slow down so that Michael Schumacher could take the win in his Austria (early 2000's), Rubens' made it a point to show the fans this was an "order", and nearly came to a complete stop just before the checkered flag....... allowing Michael to take the win. Michael was booed by the entire crowd, and handed the trophy to Ruben.... the records still show Michael as winner. F1 Mercedes/AMG principal Toto Wolfe lets his drivers battle it out (99% of the time), thanks to Nikki's (RIP) presence on the team. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Why did they issue the order -- was Schumacher higher up on the racing food chain? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
richieb Posted December 2, 2019 Share Posted December 2, 2019 } Up until Louis Hamilton made his charge over the last several years, Schumacher Was the top of the chain. Schumacher reigned with Ferrari, then Vettel with Red Bull, now Hamilton with MB. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm sure the Benz will be just as stout next year, but a major rule change in 2021 might bring another team to the top. Ferrari does well, but always seems to shoot themselves in the foot with their wacky strategy, that usually fails. I feel bad for Le Clerc, he was bitten by their bad strategy a few times this year.

Yes, Shummi was the top driver, and was leading the championship. Once the championship is in the bag, they'll let the drivers duke it out. Ferrari has historically had their cake and eat'in it too when it came to F1; but the new financial structure (Post-Berni) has for the most part stripped them of their favored status. The favoritism stems from the long standing involvement in the sport and the shear number of viewers that watch because of the namesake. Every manufacturer wants both championships, i.e. Driver Championship and Manuf. Championship. The obvious reason is they'll get a bigger $lice of pie at the end of the $eason. Many teams did it, and still do. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Schummi still holds the vast majority of Records. Here's Vettel taking out his better F1 rookie teammate. Typical Vettel..... and the perfect example for Team Orders, WHICH Vettel has historically ignored, UNLESS the orders were in his favor.
