    He fits in the new popular male genre trending where the men are softer, more boyish. They aren't traditionally masculine. They are very popular with the younger girls right now. IMO Charles fits in this genre too.

    Timothée Chalamet is a Hollywood example.

    From Google AI:

    "The "effeminate men trend" is a social and cultural shift characterized by a growing acceptance and popularity of men who express femininity through their appearance, fashion, and behavior, challenging traditional masculinity."

    Nothing new - see 'boy bands' of any decade. AI - database scraping lol. Sure its the truth??
    Social media bluster about something that is hardly new. The web at its worst.

    The hyper masculine should go train with them lol. Traditionally masculine lol. Ok good luck defining that. They attract/seem to like women and drive race cars. Not bad for a 'boy' or 'softer' man lol.

    Sorry I don't make the definitions/trends. I'm just simply pointing it out for the poster who asked.

    Though I have to admit he does come across as a young boy. Maybe it's simply because he is?

    There is no blame or fault being placed by me. I think Piastri is a good driver. I just think Lando is a more complete driver. I think Lando may be a great driver, but we will find out.

    well if everyone did the same perhaps the FIA would be a bit more motivated to change the overtaking regulations.

    I think Sainz is a really good driver. Right now he seems to be trying too hard and making stupid mistakes. I agree that is not the characteristic you would want or expect to see at this point in his career. As a fan of his, it is disappointing to watch.

    everyone else could learn the rule book; clearly you're predicting his behaviour, without any credibility to do so, why not hang it up? You're like these twerps talking about "rent free" when no one is paying any rent. to quote another teenage expression: "Gag me with a spoon." Moon Zappa in Valley Girl, much more amusing.

    I don't follow the question.
    A local yellow means that drivers must use caution in the area where the yellow flag is being waved. Once you pass the danger, you can go back to max attack. They check the data on the cars to see if you lift, if you don't, you get a penalty. You cannot overtake under yellow.

    Safety car is deployed if they need to control the speed of the field to resolve something. Track workers had to go out to get Sainz's car fully behind the barrier, which is why they did the VSC. Theoretically, if the field was all bunched up, they could potentially resolve it with just a local yellow since there would be a gap for the workers to go out and come back before any cars came to that sector.

    That might explain why the VSC came out at the end.

    Only problem with that is coming back into traffic head on is super dangerous. Especially before the fat lady thong; ehhh I mean halo.

    Great way to get decapitated.

    I mean this is why the race director has rules for rejoining safely. Lewis just ignored them.

    This is why gravel traps are effective. You could also potentially do something with foam barriers which would explode and fill the side pods and essentially disable the car without danger to life and limb. Maybe fill them with paint too for added shame. Lol.

    Perhaps you're young and didn't experience it, or I'm old and do/don't remember how things used to be.....local yellow USED to be an ongoing thing for several laps while they 'resolved something'. If they can 'check the data to see if you lift' once, why can't they do it twice,thrice, etc.? Why no racing on the 97% of the track where there is no danger?

    I think that philosophy of race management has largely been gone for the past 15 years or so if I had to guess. So yes before I started racing, but I got going late.

    People miss flags, people have mechanical failures, sometimes the race director doesn't know there is fluid down, etc. You don't want some guy getting his legs chopped off on live TV.

    I get where you are coming from though. It's all a matter of risk management. I still don't like the halo personally and would have no problem jumping back in a car without one.
