So it could be a big conspiracy, or it could be cold intermediates on a slippery track, with a tail wind, bad visibility etc. no doubt it was a massive screw up from Bottas, but it’s laughable to think that was intentional.
And so the French organization that changed the rules this year to help RBs higher rake concept and gave them a 3 year engine freeze so that they can keep the Honda, is now favoring one English team, to beat another English team. Riiiiggggghhhht
I mean it could be that, or it could be just a big first turn crash.
Let’s see what actual racers and ex racers have said, no one has said bottas did that intentionally, even Verstappen called it a “freak incident”
Ocon did a podcast with Tom Clarkson a couple of years ago that was really good.
He seems like a nice dude, so great to see him get a win.

I’m new to paying real attention to this sport and without any fan like allegiances to drivers or team. There’s a real bias for the M-B team and Hamilton from the FIA or whoever sanctions the competition.
Most drivers, ex drivers and professional pundits that I read or heard breakdown the incident thought that incident was mostly a racing incident, and overall agree with the penalty.
Bottas got a 5 place penalty for his screw up last night, which again is inline with several similar incidents.
Do you think he should have got a larger penalty?
But objective opinions of Leclerc, Ricciardo, Norris, Chandok, Davison, Webber, Jones, Palmer to name a few have all said in recent weeks that it was just the result of 2 very aggressive drivers not giving an inch.
The one thing I will say, Verstappen has bombed it in on Hamilton a lot this year, and hamilton has backed out. So lets reverse the cars. If Verstappen was on the inside, does anyone think he would have done anything different to Hamilton?
Verstappen and co need to stop bitching and get on with it. at the end of the day, Like JT always says on Matthes' podcast, sometimes when you are trying to win a championship you have to pick your battles, and avoid incidents, regardless of who is "in the right"
I am sick of seeing Hamilton win championships, but Verstappen is making it awfully difficult to root for him
still a great drive none the less
Updated schedule to come out in the next few weeks.
