F1 2021 and we have a Schumacher on the grid again

In the absence of a F1 forum I'd like to chat about all things F1 Grand Prix.

How will the season go? How will the newest Schumacher fare ?

I can't wait for the first race.

Poor Lewis, he's been robbed
Really? Not from where I'm watching. Brilliant race. Lewis won't even park in the 2nd place spot, spoiled brat.

I don’t watch F1 that closely as I’m more of a motorbike fan but I had no idea they could just make the rules up as they go along like that!

Interested in this thread?

What a load of shit. Why would you want to win a championship under those conditions? I’d be embarrassed.

CampagVelocet · 12/12/2021 14:46

Fixed for Max. I'm livid. He didn't deserve that, had the championship handed to him on a plate. And saying he finally got some luck? What? Prick.

elizadoalittle · 12/12/2021 14:46

@catzrulz oh come off it.

Exactly. It’s really not a good look for the sport as a whole.
LostThePot · 12/12/2021 14:46

I also wouldn’t have minded Max winning but not like that.

AlternativePerspective · 12/12/2021 14:47

There needs to be a serious enquiry after this.

And imo it should result in serious fines and him being stripped of the title. Guess he’s probably in on the fix as well? Cheating cunts.

GrouchyKiwi · 12/12/2021 14:47

Lewis is excellent. So sporting.

givethatbabyaname · 12/12/2021 14:47

Max’s interview was all about him. Selfish, ugly racer. Lewis is my winner.

Me too.

ChequerBoard · 12/12/2021 14:48

Good on Lewis, such a gracious sportsman.

givethatbabyaname · 12/12/2021 14:49

Lewis is a sporting example. Such a gent. Max and Christian cheated their way to this. F1 needs to take a good long look at themselves.

Sparklingbrook · 12/12/2021 14:50

Lewis seems to be taking it very well, very calm.

Swirlywoo · 12/12/2021 14:50

How do you decide that only 5 lapped cars get to unlap themselves? It's just absolute bullshit

Totally. I'd also have not minded Verstappen winning fairly. Lewis was faster and better all the way around and he's won due to a bullshit made up decision, not due to luck.

Sparklingbrook · 12/12/2021 14:51

Max's dad living vicariously through his son there. Hmm

Lol, even the crowd aee booing Lewis.
Typical BBC bias to a British driver is what I'm listening to now.

AlternativePerspective · 12/12/2021 14:52

Surely Verstappen* must be in on the whole thing. There’s no way he doesn’t know it was a fix. How much money changed hands I wonder.

Sparklingbrook · 12/12/2021 14:52

Boooooooooo.

ChequerBoard · 12/12/2021 14:52

Shame!!!

elizadoalittle · 12/12/2021 14:52

@catzrulz you're embarrassing yourself now.

RedToothBrush · 12/12/2021 14:53

Hamilton had a favourable decision early on that was 'unfair'. Then Verstappen had one later on. But ultimately the officials wanted a motor race to be a motor race and Hamilton made two tactical decisions not to change his tires (one clearly against what the team were saying and expecting). That decision wasn't of Verstappen's making.

It was a thrilling ending. Its good for the sport.

If it was the other way around Hamilton fans would be saying the exact same thing ultimately.

Sparklingbrook · 12/12/2021 14:53

I think we need a recount.
