FORMULA 1 TAG HEUER GRAND PRIX DE MONACO.........Race......................▄▀▄▀▄▀ SPOILERS ▄▀▄▀▄▀

heroic effort

 

What about "impeding" ? That is used during qualifications.

Deliberately driving erratically, and below the capability of a car to frustrate followers, is totally against the idea of racing.

 

being ahead of another in an actual race is not considered impeding.

But you are on to something.

Tell lead drivers to hit minimum lap times for the race in Monaco. Rest will follow.

 

Qualify in the f1 cars, race in 250cc shifter karts.

 

Lol , i was thinking where tf is Crofty and Martin,not that i'm a big fan of them or anything...Doh!

Lets see how it goes with the 500 ..on Fox?

 

Impeding is similar to ignoring blue flags, it's for situations where one is supposed to let faster cars pass - when racing in the same lap, one is not supposed to let following cars pass. If they are faster, they should be able to overtake; changing lanes to make overtaking impossible is forbidden, but the problem is that, with the current cars, it's impossible to pass on a track like Monaco, no matter how faster the car is (basically with the current rules, cars are just unable to overtake; the DRS has been implemented as a workaround but, apart from not really addressing the root causes, it does not work on tracks without long straight sections).

 

Just a little sarcasm.

 

Danica and Buxton, how bad could it get? Dedicated race thread started.

 

The annual Monaco Carbon Debris Parade.

Yawn.

Need to set my alarm to watch the last half hour of Indy.

 

If it was in my hand to cancel an event, that would be Monaco GP; it's like watching a competition on buses at a (small) parking lot

The only fun thing was to watch Toto pissed off.

 

I think the race venue is wonderful.
It's the generation of cars that are big and bloated.
Not unlike today's daily drivers - bloated bread boxes.
Cars of yesteryear just look so much better to me.
Small and petite.

And I certainly like this generation - https://www.ferrarichat.com/forum/posts/150130287/ but they are lacking in safety features.

 

I never judge an event by the size of the audience, but by the quality it delivers.

 

you’re not Liberty Media

 

I think that braking too early, changing trajectory at random, and deliberately slowing down for no apparent reason just to prevent the following cars to pass should come under scrutiny.
What Albon was doing today was plainly obvious. He was pushing his followers at fault by playing mobile chicane.
That's not racing, but taking team solidarity to another level. Yet, I see people endorsing this ...

 

No, and Liberty media doesn't represent my interest.

 

It's been like that ever since refueling stopped.

I don't like it but it's not illegal

 

reg on X: "OH MY GOD THIS IS SO ****ING FUNNY https://t.co/ktOiEIyeDN" / X

what's going on here then?

 

Albon wasn't driving normally, he was preventing faster cars to overtake him, as pârt of a team strategy, I think.
At times, he was "brake testing' his followers, then speeding until the next corner before they recovered from taking evasive action.
That's a form of intimidation, and it could become dangerous. Russell got penalised because of it.
He repeated the move several times, using the characteristics of the track to prevent passing. You don't see a problem with that ?
He was sacrifying his speed to protect his team mate's position: a proper "rear-gunner" job, IMO.
A driver is supposed to race to the best of his abilities.

I expected him to beat Norris at the start

 

glad I didn't watch this snoozefest live

 

Norris had a full car length at the start line and in the inside track. Hard to pass unless someone makes a mistake. The shortest way around the corner is from the inside.

 

I saw it a double speed. I'm happy for Charlie given how crappy the car is this year. Hamilton looks completely lost in the team.
