Helped somewhat by the heated battles between Verstappen and Hamilton seen throughout the 2021 Formula One championship, criticism on race director Michael Masi has mounted. But what next after the Abu Dhabi Grand Prix?
Given his antics in Brazil, and in Saudi, It sure seems like he considers it a viable option!Wouter wrote: ↑07 Dec 2021, 13:21This new race thread is only half a day old and all it is talking about is
that dirty Max is definitely going to crash Lewis out of the race!
The "2021 Saudi Arabian Grand Prix - Jeddah, Dec 03 - 05" thread is even worse!
This is really not normal anymore. You don't see that on any forum, so toxic, yuck!
The only way this would work is if Merc have an absolutely massive race pace advantage.djones wrote: ↑07 Dec 2021, 17:05It would be quite hard to do, but I wonder if Mercedes would be best letting Max get pole.
This would somewhat mitigate the first lap DNF lunge from Max that would just go down as a racing incident.
That then gives the entire race to beat him in a safer place or through the pit stops. I highly suspect the race pace of the Mercedes is going to be pretty incredible with the track changes and recent form.
You mean where he had the inside line to the turn, and the driver on the outside turned in on him hoping he would jump out of the way, and just wasn't able to get out of it quick enough? I think a lot of people remember that.
I am hoping for an outcome that will make sure luck evens out over a period. I am not interested in individual driver's Intentions and fans justifications. If we include Baku as well Verstappen had more bad luck than Hamilton. Hope luck strikes and spoils the party of liberty media's well planned , executed drama.dans79 wrote: ↑07 Dec 2021, 17:41You mean where he had the inside line to the turn, and the driver on the outside turned in on him hoping he would jump out of the way, and just wasn't able to get out of it quick enough?

Not to mention and all the fake new and strait up factually incorrect garbage posted about it. for example the constant claim he didn't make the turn even though video evidence clearly shows he did in spite of heavy contact (that would have substantially unsettled the car aerodynamically and mechanically)!
You mention luck, and karma, have you considered that Max's "bad luck" is karma for his many indiscretions across the course of his career?max_speed wrote: ↑07 Dec 2021, 17:46I am hoping for an outcome that will make sure luck evens out over a period.

You think so? How it's been played, it's you get to play the cards you're dealt with by the FIA whether you like it or not imo. I felt like that especially considering now they go in the Final round on equal points. It's like the FIA shoves both team towards this finishing order.max_speed wrote: ↑07 Dec 2021, 17:46I am hoping for an outcome that will make sure luck evens out over a period.

Repeating the same lie will not change the fact that it was pure racing incident and happened because HAM being fed up with VES's antics. Go and watch that race again from beginning to understand how not to bully someone all the time assuming he will always yield. Ves got taste of his own medicine but in a way milder and legitimate form.
Kinda like when someone says 'god was looking over them' when someone is saved from a situation, but then wasn't it 'god' who put them in that situation!
The crazy thing about this is it's not even the Merc or Lewis fans. Other than a few die-hard Max fans who are not willing to look at things objectively, pretty much the entire F1 fan community has had enough of Max and expects to see him try to cause a DNF in the last race. Just like the one a few days ago.
