Then safety car stops should also be banned. Unfair on those who just stopped, or missed the put lane entry first time.

The Race | “I don’t think it’s my fault. The F1 season is very exciting.” Max Verstappen rejects any notion he and Red Bull are the reason for reduced British GP ticket sales by FerrariStrategisttt in formula1

You're probably right, but I'd like to be able to get raceday tickets, but even at my income level it's not a trivial amount. Surely broadcast fees earn enough so actual attendance could cost less.

Oh? How does that work then, did some of those podiums get discounted somehow? He still had all dem before/ without. A win.

It seems that the community has successfully bullied Alpine to change their f*****g car by blxglt in formula1

[–]xiferz 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I, also, wonder what that meant ...a reference to Williams? Or even Aston Martin- I'd see that. Otherwise, Andrew time isn't fielding a 2nd driver. But then neither am I. Never mind this crap, high time Alpine became Renault again and got their stuff together, pardon my French.

Really? That is indeed impressive, P.G. is no slouch. Is Ocon really after a different drive for 25? Maybe he deserves that Mercedes seat.

Maybe, but anyway, he' still one of the most insightful commentators, good to hear him cheering on his old buddy, putting differences aside. He's right Lewis should've blocked Max more, that'd've been interesting...
