I thought anything not back Whiney Hamilton would get a reaction.

You were trolling? Never

You're a smart cookie!

Nope, I was expressing an opinion that I knew would draw the response it did. I suspect quite a few people don't bother contributing because they know the reaction it generates, and can't be bothered with it.

That's called trolling

He comes over as so false with his fake 'sincere' preaching, a lot of people just turn the set over when he starts.

Lol

Did not Hamilton do this to Rosberg or was it the other way around, seem to remember one of them being advised to move over & the response being that when he gets close enough I will, knowing full well they couldn't in the dirty air. Slightly different but it was to try to help the points position of the one behind.

Which race?

In your world perhaps, in others it's called posting an opinion, but thanks for confirming what I said about the nature of replies on this thread.

I'll leave you to your bubble.

It's straight up trolling and you know it is! Seems to go with the territory for people who don't like Hamilton. Sad really.

See you later

In anybody's world it is trolling, even if it is an opinion you sincerely hold.

Posting mainly to get a reaction is pretty well the definition of trolling, and you have more or less admitted that is what you were doing.

Then gaslight the person you're trolling

As I said, in your world perhaps.

I wasn't posting 'for' a reaction. I said the reaction was very predictable, which has been quite nicely confirmed.

The defensiveness of certain positions, and aggressive responses to those that post others could also be seen as trolling, and is quite likely to be a factor in other people not seeing it as worth while commenting.

Now I really will leave you t o your cosy bubble.

wow

That must mean something different now, it used to mean the same as working on Burton's corner

Whoever is in charge at Red Bull seem to making a cracking job of it given the championship positions.

So much easier when you cheat

What do RB do to sort out the situation? It's obvious Max and Jos rule with an iron fist and the team for some reason allows it.

Why did Max wait so long to exact revenge on Checo? I'm not a VER fan but you'd hold a grudge if your team mate did a Schui/Rosberg at Monaco. Seems odd to wait this long though.

How much of a dressing down must he have got to say he will now do whatever it takes to help Checo at the last race?

They are afraid to do anything to Max as daddy could put them in hospital !

Anyone else notice they got the restart wrong again. Only two cars allowed past the safety car.
