In the end, "take it all from life" is the best advice I have been given by someone I respect a great deal. Go out there and live it...

it was actually really poor sportsmanship to take that corner quickly

@StephenTries Will beg to come back in a year. End up getting parked at Newcastle with a clause that he can sign for us if we call (we won’t). Be injury prone. Go to United. Be vilified. End up at Stoke. Hang on!

@ChrisMedlandF1 Madness that they never changed that rule after Lewis/Merc in 2021. Jenson Button highlighted it at the time.

The penalty is five grid places, because he's already taken a new ICE earlier this season (first occasion is 10 places, every one after that is five) #F1 #BrazilGP

Confirmation from the FIA of Verstappen taking a power unit penalty this weekend - he's using his sixth ICE of the season. The penalty will only apply to Sunday's GP, not the Sprint #F1 #BrazilGP

This sport just keeps making a fool of itself. If both cars are off, then it nullifies an advantage #AustinGP

You probably know the start of this Olympic story, but do you know how it finished? This photo is of Eric Moussambani, aka 'Eric the Eel' from Equatorial Guinea, competing in the 100m Freestyle event at the Sydney 2000 Olympics, alone. Why? /1

@there_is_no_if Sadly, it feels like it always has been that way and always will be, as long as the spectacle fits. The Jeddah 21 actions proved it with Max - the punishment couldn’t hurt the end result - the viewing figures. Perhaps we have to accept that the sport has changed?

@Adamac39 Track limits and race starts seem to be quite black and white offenses, and rather easy to define in algorithmic terms. But I suspect although solutions already exist, lack of willingness is the driving factor.

Thanks to F1 fandom, which would rather move mountains to dig up opponents repeating questionable tactics than discuss its legality in the first place - we have Lewis back in Austria '23 performing a very similar start to that of Checo's Jeddah launch #F1

@there_is_no_if Granted, you make a good point. What’s the solution then? Especially considering the horrific events of AD21 😞 (And thanks for realising the autocorrect of Crockett 🏏)

@Adamac39 Considering that the larger part of the winning formula in the F1 as a sport is the machine, and those machines are pretty much state of the art computers - logic applied towards cricket, rugby or other similar sports isn't particularly applicable in F1.

@there_is_no_if Then we’re keeping a human measurement in the sport. That has worked for Crockett, rugby and many other sports. Unless we want to get to a point of over regulation, then perhaps we accept that this is the best thing?

@Adamac39 What if technology is passing the numeric value of forward motion over to stewards, and it's up to them to flag if that value is exceeding some human defined threshold?

Lets put some real context around this bullshit. When the safety car went past these marshals on lap 56 it was 2 corners from the start/finish line… The photo presented by Jake is a photo of Leclerc who finished 66 seconds (over 1 minute behind 1st) The track clear and Safety car in announcement was given well into the official lap 57 (lap the safety car is on) therefore the safety car had to do one more full lap (Lap 58) to the chequered flag. Which it didn’t. There is nothing else to say. Lewis was robbed end of..

I mean just look at this man. The Marshals were well off track before the start of Lap 57.... The FIA waited a whole FOUR MINUTES to allow lapped cars through and by then it was too late. We gotta change the narrative. Max got robbed of a rightful, legitimate win. Not Lewis.
