Gilbert Posted December 17, 2021 Author Share Posted December 17, 2021 That was not my take on the British GP, Mad Max always tries to late-brake his opponent (they all do really), but doing so from the outside on that particular turn was wishful thinking. There are many videos from different angles, and if you're not familiar with Mad Max's rock'em sock'em robot style racing history, the overhead helli shot shows that Max carried the bulk of the blame. Hamilton knew that stunt was never going to work and he knew exactly what to do. Max being Max, anticipated (as usual) that Hamilton would concede, rather than risk the crash. Youthful bravery and ignorance, and Hamilton took him to school. Being on the inside and especially with a faster car Hamilton knew the outcome. I do believe it was more of a racing incident that could only come out one way..... Max spinning off or both cars getting trashed. A better comparison of Hamilton being a chickenshit would be his incident with Niko at their last USGP,... the turn one incident. Hamilton literally shoved Niko off track, a la Max to Hamilton in this seasons grand finale. Hamilton is/was a ruthless *******, especially during his early F1 years. But he has since become, or has been trying to portray himself as being more of an English Country Gentleman... which he's clearly is not, but I do believe he has been trying desperately to change or improve his image.

geezin' Posted December 17, 2021 Share Posted December 17, 2021 Hamilton is a talent of a lifetime. And a spoiled little boy as well. I love watching him run through the pack after a poor start. As soon as he's out of the car I cannot stand him. Entitled is too weak a word to use. Ron Dennis hand picked and guided him from 9 years old I believe. How could he not be a great? 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If hard and fast numbers are what you use Sir Lewis is the best. 2021 will be over in a couple weeks. And Horner isn't letting Max go without a fight. BTW it's Verstappen.

Gilbert Posted December 18, 2021 Author Share Posted December 18, 2021 Mercedes withdraws it’s appeal following FIA announcement (Jean Todt) which stated….. Mercedes’ announcement followed a statement from the FIA on Wednesday evening, in which the sport’s governing body proposed to conduct a “detailed analysis and clarification exercise” around the events of the Abu Dhabi Grand Prix. The statement ran: “Following the presentation of a report regarding the sequence of events that took place following the incident on Lap 53 of the Grand Prix and in a constant drive for improvement, the FIA President proposed to the World Motor Sport Council that a detailed analysis and clarification exercise for the future with all relevant parties will now take place. “This matter will be discussed and addressed with all the teams and drivers to draw any lessons from this situation and clarity to be provided to the participants, media, and fans about the current regulations to preserve the competitive nature of our sport while ensuring the safety of the drivers and officials. It is not only Formula 1 that may benefit from this analysis, but also more generally all the other FIA circuit championships. “Following that presentation and an extensive discussion, the World Council has decided to unanimously support the President’s proposal.” Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
richieb Posted December 18, 2021 Share Posted December 18, 2021 Three teams they don’t want to p-off - Ferrari MB Red Bull Im sure continuing pressure from Wolfe made the “detailed analysis” an easier pill for FIA to swallow than a never ending protest.

Anyone who watched F1 over the past 20 yrs and paid attention knows who Adrian Newey is and what it means to have him design a race car. Adrian loves the RB team and will like retire with them. Max would be a fool to leave….. just ask Sebastian Vettel. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
