What a KING. Bottas going for revenge next season on everybody.
Utter BS btw. Are they all blind? I get that Max was at fault as well but man... what about giving him 10secs instead?
very curious to know what you guys’ firstGP experience was as well? Mega noob here but uber passionate.
Ok noted on the technicalities. I guess you can go either way and it’s the right call. I’m not even surprised that Lewis basically got nothing slapped on him. Is there such a thing as a superstar call in F1? This seems like that’s the case maybe?Since his race ended cuz of the crash, any potential penalty would have to be applied to the next race, which, in this case, was a grid-drop. You can't put a time penalty on a race that hasn't started. Had Max been able to continue after that crash, then they could have given him a time pen.
Most of the drivers they've spoken to (past and present) felt that it was a racing incident, a while few thought it was Max's fault.
My first GP was the 2001 Malaysian GP. Obvs, it was a lot different back then as there was basically no fan-engagement or social media. But hey, at least we got the V10s! The noise literally hurt. You simply couldn't watch without ear plugs... especially when 20 cars were going flatout. It's so much nicer being a fan nowadays though.
Where do you guys live? Made the trip all the way to Italy?!
Inconsistency is part of it I guess. Like any sport, officiating Harden vs officiating Dame. Never the same I guess..
Damn!!!! What a time! Must have been like watching Mike fly. Wow. The thought of a V10 blows my mind tbh, the cars these days are okay without plugs even by the fence. Since i have no reference I still felt that it was something crazy. But to your point, it didnt blow me away although my jaws were on the grass the first two days. Day 3 it felt normalish. This is probably why Max wants the bigger engines back! That iconic growl. Max is definitely that guy. i’m glad I get to watch him go wild out for more seasons to come.
where do you live now Sin?
oh damn glad you finished the mini moviemy only fear is that ppl will chune out but I tried my best to edit it raw and share the vibes to the viewer

Man seems like a V10 experience is a must try. I wonder if we’ll ever get a retro race of some sort kinda like an all star game but big engine cars. I saw that time Mick drove his dad’s car, that looked like a lot of fun. Maybe put a halo first thoI live in HK.
To be fair, the stewarding used to be worse... more inconsistent. It's improved, but obvs still not perfect.
From where you guys sat, I'd say with 100% certainty, you would have needed ear plugs for the V10/V8's or risk permanent hearing damage. And it's not just Max. All the drivers want loud, screaming engines. You can say how much more efficient and powerful the V6 hybrids are right now, but you just don't get that spine-tingling feeling.
And Monza-town looked every bit how I imagined it would look like!

will u check out the SG race? Or Japan? I’m trying to go visit both next season with the fam(f you covid) and friends.beer on me if u there!
man... Monza was a movie set. I’m so glad I’m into this world now. Wifey is a maniac! She dont know nba rules or nothin. Now she analyzing F1 **** like a gambler or sum![]()
Oh she’s definitely watching the FPs closely. No timing screens for her... yet. But she’e definitely doing her best to nerd out. And I repeat, she never watches any sport of any kind let alone pay any type of attention. I have to admit the interviews are her specialty. The drama.The only chance we'd get to hear V10's or V8's run again will be at demos or Goodwood FOS. I doubt we'll ever see a full grid of them.
The SG or JPN GP would be cool, but given the current environment, I don't see it happening anytime soon.
So when you say your wife is now analysing F1... do you mean she looks at all their Free Practice runs an analyzes all the lap times and fuel-loads? Cuz that's what gamblers probably do!Nowadays, I can't watch F1 without my timing screen. Hell, I can't watch any session without my timing screen. I feel so lost without it.
It's awesome to see that she's so into it! Though I prefer the sporting side of it more (laptimes, performance, upgrades, etc), I also enjoy the different personalities, the drama and the camaraderie of all the drivers. If anything, I think DTS has made it too much about the drama and personalities. Like the radio messages from last season... they were intentionally rearranged or taken out of context to make things more juicy.Oh she’s definitely watching the FPs closely.

proud of her
yo I was praying Japan would be a lot better by next fall. Guess we’ll see. Friends and family ready to go.
hoping for a Lord Bottas weekend! Much needed.
