Stop with the passport conspiracy nonsense, FFS.

It doesn't even make sense. Someone with that same passport got a championship taken from them by the race director, then threatened with legal action, then threatened with expulsion from F1 over a damn nose stud.

Shit, in this very race Ollie Bearman got a 10s penalty.

Tsunoda and Lawson also aren't British but did the exact same thing.

Do you mean the race when that English person could earlier cut a corner, overtake off the track, gain a massive advantage, and then later had to only lift off the throttle a bit which was then "the advantage was given back"?

Tsunoda and Lawson also arenโ€™t British but did the exact same thing.

No, they didn't because the weren't in the front row.

Hahaha, you mean when he was pushed off track and had to take evasive action to avoid a crash? Then backed off the accelerator to negate any advantage he got from being shoved off the track, a situation that was entirely caused by Max in the first place, who was desperate for a crash that would secure the championship?

Lmao you cannot be seriously defending AD2021 and pretending you aren't enormously biased, Mr Dutch-Username

No, they didn't because the weren't in the front row.

Ah, I forgot that safety regs only apply to P1 and P2. Silly me. I must have missed that FIA regulation. Can you point it out to me so I can read up on it?

I'm not Dutch, nor do I have a Dutch user name. Can't even get your xenophobia right. OTOH your affiliation:

Yes, follow up Tweet quoting the stewards' decision:

Maybe should have clicked on the linked source instead of making stuff up. The answer was right there a mere 40 minutes after the first Tweet.

Also several racing directives are secret under NDA. The FIA knows them, select individuals from the teams know them, journalists and therefore the public don't know them. the-race.com could recently only quote a few sentences in a follow-up podcast to the recent discussions about overtaking rules because those were leaked to them.

Of course it does not make sense. It was a reference to what Max said, and I added a smiley.

[โ€“] TheGrandNagus@lemmy.world 0 points 2 years ago

Yeah it makes zero sense. It's a dumb conspiracy theory that people love to parrot whenever "their" driver has any problems.

[โ€“] woelkchen@lemmy.world -2 points 2 years ago (1 children)

Of course it does not make sense.

In pretty much every international sporting competition, the referees are from countries other than the competing teams/athletes. Football, boxing, you name it. It's part of rules to maintain impartiality and fairness in the matches. Englishman Johnny Herbert being part of the stewarding team to judge over English teams and athletes would be a scandal in every other sport's world championship. This weekend a German ADAC higher-up was also part of the stewarding team. I have no idea about his impartiality regarding Mercedes or Nico Hรผlkenberg and there shouldn't be any questions regarding impartiality based on nationality. That's precisely why others sports have such rules.

F1 has people from many countries in it. I don't know why you're pretending that the stewards are always British.

[โ€“] woelkchen@lemmy.world 0 points 2 years ago (1 children)

youโ€™re pretending that the stewards are always British

I don't. I literally wrote that one of the four steward this weekend was German. Unlike you I actually looked up the nationalities but you also proved beforehand that you rather go on pro-English vibe than actual research when claiming that the front row is not treated differently when running red lights.

[โ€“] TheGrandNagus@lemmy.world 0 points 2 years ago

You're acting like Johnny Herbert/Brits make the decisions. Complete bullshit.

Pro-English? How am I pro English? Prove it. I'm not even English.

You on the other hand are a xenophobe complaining about people's nationalities for no reason, and perpetuating a dumb xenophobic conspiracy theory.

Tell me how it is acceptable for a French or Japanese driver to run over a marshal but not an English one. This should be good.
