Dnk Posted October 1, 2022 Share Posted October 1, 2022 Be interesting to see the outcome of the cost cap stuff. Sky as usual poking the fire. Personally think all involved should wait till the FIA announce the findings before commenting, this stuff really is doing F1 no good I'm not going to comment on Hamilton and the black history stuff Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Swampy442 Posted October 1, 2022 Share Posted October 1, 2022 Thats the media, Ive seen stories that Ferrari and Merc bubbled Red Bull, Karen Horner was kicking off about it. Theres o smoke without fire IMO. Max having his lap aborted for low fuel, Ferrari levels of incompetence Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Good to see Perez up there Some sort of over run, apparently not throttle, maybe battery deployment on braking, he said car was pushing from the rear under braking, happened in FP3 too. Be interesting to see how much RB are over the cost cap. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
formatzero Posted October 1, 2022 Share Posted October 1, 2022 Regarding the cost cap rumours i think the F.I.A have already set a precedent by not disclosing (as far as i'm aware) the deal done with Ferrari regarding their super engine performance that quietly disappeared a while back,so i think prudence is required.

Tyson Posted October 9, 2022 Share Posted October 9, 2022 All I can say is, Merc have so much to do to be competitive next year. Outpaced on the straights by Alpine would have been unheard of 2 years ago. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bizarre. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bizarre. I can only guess due to the red flag which is a whole new conversation with points to be made from both sides 1/ why was a recovery vehicle on track 2/ red flagged double waved yellows and Gasly going too fast but that wouldn't have made any difference ? what if there wasn't a vehicle on track and just marshals or the driver getting out the stricken car ? seems drivers don't get the rule of being able to stop Edited October 10, 2022 by Dnk (see edit history) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Annabella Posted October 10, 2022 Author Share Posted October 10, 2022 Correct, both in the wrong, tractor shouldn't have been on the track till empty, as there was no rush as red flagged, and Gasly, well, even under double yellows supposed to be able to stop, Reds and doing 250k? Staggering. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Style Posted October 11, 2022 Share Posted October 11, 2022 (edited) So Red Bull and Aston Martin were found to have exceeded the budget cap last season by any amount between $0.01 and $7.5m (less than 5% of the total) It's going to be nothing more than a slap on the wrist and I fine I bet, but Merc will be absolutely fuming. If RB were found to have overspent on developement of the car etc. then it's ground for points deduction imo. I'd hold the same stance if the shoe was on the other foot before anyone thinks I'm just a die hard Hamilton fan who's still sour by the way To overthrow the Championship now would cause all sorts of drama which i doubt even Hamilton wants anymore Hopefully they interview Guenther Steiner about the whole thing. "I don’t care what stewards decide, as long as they’re consistent. If overspending results in a fine, then it only costs money to get away with it. And with everyone else limited to a smaller cap, who fokking cares?" - Probably Edited October 11, 2022 by Style (see edit history) 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dnk Posted October 11, 2022 Share Posted October 11, 2022 (edited) I think F1 is slowly destroying itself and I've had enough of most of the build up sections other than MB on a grid walk or Teds bits, sadly he's straying away from the race and tech to the politics and bullshit The cost cap just adding to the problems where a title could be decided in the courts.

Swampy442 Posted October 11, 2022 Share Posted October 11, 2022 Im in the same boat, getting tired of what F1 is becoming. And the budget cap, everyone knows whats going to happen, absolutely nothing. RB should be docked enough points to lose the title but that will never happen. Im still not over the last race of last season, both as a Hamilton fan and an F1 fan Read somewhere that each million of development is 0.1 of a second on track, do some quick maths. Financial penalties in F1 are utterly pointless, dangerous driving, speeding in the pit lane? Race bans and dropped points. 5 second penalty for on track shenanigans, drive through the pits (Perez in Singapore, 5 second penalty - Still won the race and thats not right) Penalties have to have real tangible outcomes, outcomes to be afraid of. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dnk Posted October 23, 2022 Share Posted October 23, 2022 (edited) F1 and its rules are shocking, really needs sorting out, if you broke a rule this is what you get, not offered a deal if you accept this we wont push it further lark.

Swampy442 Posted October 23, 2022 Share Posted October 23, 2022 It should be black and white - The cap is this, if youre a quid or a million quid over, here's the penalty.

Like I said without penalties to be afraid of, nobody will care And it has to be a painful penalty not a fine as that's pointless Personally think they should scrap the cap simply because its too complex to govern. It's like penalties given after the race, need to be done in the race Regarding Sainz/Russell incident I think it was more 50/50 with Russell going out to the racing line and Sainz chopping back into him Didn't think a large chunk of the race was that great and sad to hear LH bleating on that MV was running off track Oh well not to long now and I can find something else to watch with less bullshit in it WSB is top notch at the moment Edited October 24, 2022 by Dnk (see edit history) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
