But is it any better than us singing "Jingle bells, Ayrton smells, Alain ran away" back in the day...

I see that Ross Brawn has anniu ced that from next season teams will no be in direct contact with the Race Director during the race as as to avoid any distraction and/or any chance of undue influence. Id the RD wants to talk to the team principals he call them.

And too right. Mthe team principals, included the dyed haired german bloke, are responsible in part for bringing this about.

And in other news, Max is formally crowned as world champion on Thursday. If Meecedes don't lodge their appeal and have it heard, considered and ruked upon by then then Max is champion and that is that. Not that there is any penalty that can be applied to Max anyway, as he didn't actually do anyrhing wrong.

Max is champion, there is no going back, that is that, so get over it Mercedes. The time and effort your senior executives are wasting on this matter could be spent preparing for next season instead.

Much better. This is far more sophisticated.

I'm confused - isn't Max 1-0 ahead?

(unless you count his 3rd places in 2019/20 ... )

Sorry!

Keep it quiet though Boney, I get enough grief from fatty Johnson as it is.

I’d be surprised if Merc do push through an appeal.
They don’t want to win via the courts. What they want is an apology from the authorities confirming that they go this wrong.
I agree that Verstappen didn’t do anything wrong but neither did Hamilton.

Interested to see how Bottas gets on at Alfa .... him leaving Merc got a bit overshadowed ... no idea why? Good luck to the lad anyway

We were 13 year old schoolgirls at the time (1988). What do you expect?

One day all this will be yours.

I think they will want to prove their point in the ICAS, but with no expectation that the remedy will be the reversal of the WDC.

This.

Because otherwise, who polices the policemen?

 

[Illaveago]

Didn't Wolff say that they were concentrating on next years cars, before the start of the season.
All teams agreed to the rules, on what was legal on their cars, long before the season started
The wing remains impounded, Mercedes not wanting it back. It failed to meet the regulations, in that it opened too far under DRS, tough.
Shumacher/Ferrari and barge boards anyone? 0.7mm too big.

Verstappen also fined for touching another car in parc fermé.

Or, if neither finished/finished in the top ten.

I think he said it around mid season. I think it might have been in reply to why they weren't doing so well .

Do the car's still run with a wooden plank underneath or has that gone now ?

No he retired after the last race.
