that was a lot of time, ofc it wasn't. as michael masi said (under the wrong circumstances), we had a motor race. it happens and it's rough, but he didn't deserve it

racing is racing,, but erratic/unpredictable driving is banned for a very very good reason in basically any motorsport or other kind of racing
and yeah i do think 20sec is a lot, but thats just the penalty on brakechecking isnt it
on top of that, any penalty less wouldve barely punished him

@ikillcacti yeah you're right, and i'm glad they penalised him, but i don't think he was looking to cause crashes. nonetheless, he did deserve a penalty but not 20 seconds lol

@kpn yeah makes sense
i dont htink he was looking for a crash either but i really wonder why you'd brake 50-100m before the corner if not to cause trouble though

but oh well the only reason im really thinking about this is because it annoys me that when alonso does it everyone hates the fia but imagine if the roles were reversed, or this was hamilton or verstappen.... no way people would just call it part of the sport lmao

true 😂 honestly i think the fia gets a lot of things wrong but so do we. ultimately we weren't there, only the drivers. i'd like to think they make an effort to play fair, but cheating is the reality.

sry that sent too early anyways it's what happens sometimes, but maybe everyone just backs off and plays nicely? ofc, it wouldn't be f1 anymore, but i'm pro safety here

exactly exactly
why do i kinda feel like theyre on a consistency streak this season tho??? like theyre not being as weird as id expect them to be?? but maybe thats because rb has been causing enough insanity for the

idk theyre punishing really harshly but i really just hope it means theyll finally become consistent

it 100% isssss and its kinda driving me insane
like i just cant stand the hypocricy of fans sometimes because if albon or verstappen does something i dont agree with i'll definitely call them out on it
everyones fav drivers do smth crappy every once in a while no one is hating you for still supporting htem?? just dont support the crappy thing they did man

this season is too exciting to be true this year so OBVS smth's up haha but yeah, i feel like the fia does play for the fans sometimes since that's where money rolls in from. and if a driver is acting bad, you don't have to support that. life turns on a dime, nobody's perfect, and you're bound to crack under the public eye in a game like this

i love prema but it's so nice to genuinely cheer for everyone (both f1 and f2), that's my problem with all other sports is that there's always someone you don't like

@kpn

in f2 im just supporting whoever is overtaking,, with some cases where i really enjoy the defence, but i barely even know the names and teams because im too focused on the amount of action everywhere
in f1 i literally had to pick a different dude to support cause the one i grew up supporting (verstappen) got too boring
