Hamilton is a clown just like any other hollywood celebrity when it comes to politics. Just a pathetic puppet.
In F2 the leader did the same thing Bottas did here(twice), no problems at the restart.The 'crossed the finish line' rule IS basically the rule responsible for the pileup. There's a simple solution; take that responsibility away from the leader, hold the red light and let the field loose on green. If you get passed on the way to T1, tough. Its called racing.
Back in the day this sort of accident was handled with a 'we crashed because some tit went early. **** happends, move on'.
Nowadays, everything must be analyzed down to a minute detail, everyone questions the rules, 12 drivers get warnings and what not. How about this: STFU, accept motorsport is dangerous and crashes happen and move on. This wasnt Bottas, is wasnt anyone particular, it wasnt the FIA (ffs Hamilton), it was an unfortunate circumstance and misunderstanding that let to a crash that has happened many times in the past. Back then drivers got out, dusted themselves off and went to the backup car if they had one. This playstation generation of drivers (except Kimi) basically need to grow some balls, man up, shut up and drive.
You sir win the internet today !!Glad Codies solved it with a hotfix patch
I don't watch Indy Car but a sports reporter said similar things have happened. They are very different in how things are done and i don't like the copy cat philosophy, We need to find what is best for F1.It is everyone’s responsibility to safely make a move around a car in front of them and the guys in the back did not do this. Maybe they need to review how it is done in IndyCar.
The problem is once everyone starts throwing around accusations then people start defending themselves so they don't feel like they're accepting guilt by being silent. Hamilton was probably just defending his teams points by saying there shouldn't be any blame on Bottas.it wasnt the FIA (ffs Hamilton),
I agree. I'm all for increased safety, noone likes to see people get hurt, but safety is also a show killer. Countless tracks have been neutured to improve safety. It worked, tracks got safer, but the exitement, character and charisma of the curcuits disappeared. The latest example is all the f..... asphalt runoffs. It looks crap first of all and it presents no consequence to overdrive a corner. Mugello is oldschool; you run wide, you crash like Norris found out. Its possible to have character, charisma and exitement on a racetrack, in a safe manner, without stupid asphalt runoffs. Look at Stroll, he crashed at 180mph through gravel and didnt even have as much as a bend eyelid hair after the impact.I think you have a point here. I'm all for safety and keeping the races moving along smoothly, but sometimes it feels like all we ever hear is how boring the races are, so predictable, nothing ever happens, etc...and then something totally wild happens and all we hear is this is so outrageous, what kind of rinky dink operation is this, so and so needs a penalty, etc.
Again, safety first, but at some point you have to say "that's racing". It's fast cars driving impossibly close to one another. The carbon fiber is going to fly now and again.
