Post by: not on facebook on June 25, 2017, 02:51:35 pm
Is anyone on this as it's whacky whachy whacky > stop that pigeon mutley .

Now on 3rd safety car  after car bits flying off all over the place after being each re start.

Hamilton had pole position and is still at front after 21 laps

There is that much debris across the track it's like a left wing march has passed throu smashing whatever up.

I am not into F1 racing at all but I saw on the news tonight that someone crashed into Hamiltons car on purpose, after an accidental shunt earlier.
Now apart from it being dangerous to crash into someones car on purpose, why don't they have some kind of yellow or red card system for a penalty against such actions?
Surely the offender should get, say a ten second penalty on the start grid for the next race, or maybe a one race suspension for a really serious offence.

I don't watch it but having played a few F1 games, I think they can add time to a person's race time so they finish further down the rankings potentially, so they can miss out on or get less points than they would've. But yeah, doesn't really deter them, obviously...

I watched it all andvat one stage itvws pure madness whacky racers style.

Hamilton did fcuk all wrong ,and way looking like winning it but his head rest became a tad wobbly and he had to pull in and get it fixed and lost his 1st place.

Iam sure the narrow streets on the track added to that crash bang crash scenes.

Just imagine what will happen if they ever hold a F1 in streets of London ,which has been talked about.

There's nothing new under the sun. It's all happened before. Think Schumacher and Damon Hill.

It's what F1 needs, a fierce dirty rivalry between two title contenders. We all remember Schumacher / Hill, even Schumacher / Coulthard, and of course classic battles like Prost / Senna, Hunt / Lauda and so on.

Iam a very big Hamilton fan because he is British and is out there doing his best and winning .

Ok if he was a German or a frog say doing the exact same ,I think different .

What is it with the British that we seem to back are losers more than winners > stand up if you hate Man U . God I hated that when all the w**kers at the bridge sang that and stood up.

Hamilton is a right dick to be fair, I'm no big fan of him or Vettel.

I miss Jenson Button and Mark Webber, both sound characters with plenty of talent who were often overlooked for the 'flashier' racers like Hamilton, and before that Schumacher.

Could say the same for Barrichello.

Absolutely, always left in the shadow of Schumacher despite being a great driver. Another that I've always been a big supporter of.
