Agreed. But i understand people are complaining about it because Max will be champion if he keeps finishing second now no matter what.TFSA wrote: ↑22 Sep 2024, 16:21Magnussen took fastest lap on Lap 54, but the lap was deleted, so it was handed back to Lando.
This is just Daniel and Magnussen trying to go out with a bang, since their race were effed anyway. There's nothing unusual about Max thanking Daniel either, given their history as teammates, and that it helps him.

Let VCARB take the risk in the pits. Safety car gets called and that whole idea gets toasted.
So you use your sister team to steal points of Max's championship rival.
RB can PR their way out of it saying it was a parting gift to Ric.
Properly wrong.
Conspiracy over.

Yup, nothing compared to the fact that one black and yellow team was allowed to get two championships with illegal brake inertia valve and illegal suspension chambers.avantman wrote: ↑22 Sep 2024, 16:14it's nothing compared to the fact that one orange team was allowed to run an illegal car for a while.Tvetovnato wrote: ↑22 Sep 2024, 15:56Never been a fan of the fastest lap point but today it really stinks, especially when a satellite team is the one being played with. Since they are insistant of keeping the rule, at least make it count only for the fastest lap among the top 10 drivers or something like that. Seems wrong that a driver that has nothing to do with the fight is able to impact the points handed out in the end.
before it was either of the two, every scarb had his own idea what it was. now it's suddenly both?shinekraj wrote: ↑22 Sep 2024, 16:27Yup, nothing compared to the fact that one black and yellow team was allowed to get two championships with illegal brake inertia valve and illegal suspension chambers.avantman wrote: ↑22 Sep 2024, 16:14it's nothing compared to the fact that one orange team was allowed to run an illegal car for a while.Tvetovnato wrote: ↑22 Sep 2024, 15:56Never been a fan of the fastest lap point but today it really stinks, especially when a satellite team is the one being played with.

No it isn't. Backmarkers pitting late and taking FL (even if they don't get a point) when they have the chance, just to make a statement, is not uncommon in F1.
If Norris loses by a point, McLaren has only themselves to blame. They had every chance to get Lando a couple more points.Quantum wrote: ↑22 Sep 2024, 16:03Agreed. Red Bull might deny it, but if Max wins it by a point it will be because of this.Tvetovnato wrote: ↑22 Sep 2024, 15:56Never been a fan of the fastest lap point but today it really stinks, especially when a satellite team is the one being played with.

Totally wrong
Norris and Piastri are from the same team.Paa wrote: ↑22 Sep 2024, 16:25This is rich coming after what Norris did to Perez in Baku.erudite450 wrote: ↑22 Sep 2024, 15:48That's poor sportsmanship by RB pitting Ricciardo to take away Norris' fastest lap point.
I'm not saying either is wrong, this is racing, just please try not to be a hypocrite.
