1. You acknowledge that what Lewis did is a legitimate racing move.
2. You maintain the opinion that Maldonado was in your own words "shoved" off the track as opposed to pushing for a gap that was not there due to the aforementioned legitimate racing move.
3. You however maintain the opinion that the move is "chicken**** racing"
4. Yet you supposedly maintain the opinion that you believe Lewis did nothing wrong in your eyes.
5. Except for the fact that you show you believe Lewis should have done x y or z instead.
lol
Where does it start and where does it begin?
Even if you start reading that list from point 4 and start again at the beginning you have an endless circle of backtracking and circular discussion which funny enough is exactly what is playing out in this thread.
1. Yes. It is legitimate to defend your position. I have never said otherwise. If you would like to point me to a post where I said he did anything illegal, unjust, or malicious then be my guest. You will find it difficult though. Probably more difficult that when you hilariously said I previously made the statement that Maldonado should be handed positions and that Lewis shouldn't fight for it. (I'll save you the trouble, I finally say that below.)
2. Yes. I believe he was shoved off track due to Lewis having less ability to control his car because his tires were shot, and that he was defending his line. I believe he made a perfectly good attempt to defend his line, but his tires probably caused him to run wide and push Maldonado off track. I've never said he did anything malicious, and I've only said he should have been less vigorous about defending a position he had zero hope of keeping for the next 1 1/2 laps. Me repeating that obviously has no effect on your ability to understand it for some reason though.
4. Yes. Pushing people off track boundaries, maliciously, is chickenshit racing. You can take the corner for yourself, but when you use track boundaries to force someone to stop their overtaking attempt you are being a chickenshit. Track boundaries can be anything from a white line to a ten foot high concrete wall. Here it was a white line. Many have pissed and moaned about Maldonado was all four wheels off the track and should've yielded (I don't disagree with that), but at the same time say nothing of Lewis blowing right past Rosberg and actually succeed at passing him in Bahrain. That move was explicitly illegal. If one rule is applied to one driver, it applies to all. That's all I'm saying.
5. I believe that in the best interest of his championship, he should have let Maldonado past. Not because I think Lewis shouldn't fight, but because he should know when to get his claws out and when to take what he can get. He will not win the championship fighting tooth and nail. Mark my words, him saying you always fight for every position will lose him this championship. Discretion is the better part of valor. Both Lewis and Maldonado have to learn that. I've never said he did anything wrong, malicious, or illegal. You keep trying to get me to confess something for some reason, you don't have the decency to even tell me what you accuse me of, and I've repeatedly said exactly the opposite of what you think I want.
If anyone is running in circles it's you. You keep accusing me of being biased, having some secret reason for having a problem with this incident (I'm guessing you think I'm racist and I'm probably right), and you keep asking me the same questions over and over despite the fact that I've explained the answers to you multiple times. I'm done going back and forth about this, I've stated and replied to you far too many times for it to apparently sink in. How many times someone has to outright say what they mean and you completely ignore it is a waste of my time. It's like talking to a wall.
