Oh you mean the Japanese engineer that Mpower gets his info from, who knows maybe he will say that Mercedes hacked Max's car causing the brakes to lock up.

I wonder if max's gearbox is ok. It's crazy how those impacts don't look too bad but they just damage gearboxes.

Interesting quali today.
Hamilton didn’t look comfortable in the car and it wasn’t underneath him in Q3 in the high speed corners, he is lucky to have pole. He didn’t push it and take risks either, could he have done should he have done …. mmmm Max, what a lap, right up to that point he put it into the wall. It happens, but for him he should have know he was ahead and just needed to bring it home at that point. It’s a mistake that might be costly or could give him the chance to get the run on the Mercs into the first corner. They both have the talent and I was expecting that Max was going to pull of a lap like Lewis managed in Valencia a few years ago. Must not this time a hard lesson for him. Game on for the race still all to play for should be a good one, let’s hope it goes down to the final round. |

About as funny as when you guys cite articles like they're fact, but upon closer inspection the article either doesn't mention what you guys are citing it for or it straight up says it is an opinion and not real fact.

Turns out the softs are insanely finicky around this track, if you don't get the front to rear tires into the optimal window they'll just suck.

Yeah they are in the window or not, wonder how Lando will do as he is the only one on starting in the top ten. With low wear he might be able to move up a little.

I can ask anyone a question as a reaction on their post.
That is what I did. I didn't "just call someone out" Do or don't you agree with my definition of 'true fan of the sport'? My point was that I think it's a strange decision to be fan of a team in sports just because someone you know and don't like is fan of the other team although that other one is in no way connected to that team. To me this has nothing to do with the sport or teams itself. Don't let people get to you to such a point. It's like not buying an audi or bmw or whatever brand because of 'the type of people that drive them'....

Why? Because not only should what you say be true, but to be a true fan you must respect the sport and those within it, and everyone else that enjoys it regardless if they affect your team/driver. Otherwise you get hyper polar fans and their toxicity entering the sport making it unenjoyable for everyone else to watch. It's ok to be a fan of one driver and team, even being a super fan. But it stops being ok when you start bullying other people for liking a certain driver, or start going crazy with unproven accusations against other drivers, or wishing harm upon a driver. At this point you are no longer a fan of the sport, you just like one guy. That is why I commented on your post asking if chappers was a true fan of the sport, because it is being selectively biased by picking on one trait that you defined as not being a true fan of the sport while totally ignoring other traits that would also be considered as not being a "true fan" of the sport.

And his national anthem is played when he wins. And in F1 historically teams were also driving for specific countries. That is why Ferrari's are still painted red. Nationality and sports are in general very intertwined. Just look at the olympics.

Sure having a home town hero is fine, but what if you let that influence your views on other teams from other countries. There's always bias in sports so you can have solid definitions.

But the core of the matter remains:
Why let people that are apparently not true fans influence one in picking which team to cheer for? The 'non true fans' are not officially affiliated or speak for that team. I mean we all here also drive BMW's right? And there's a huge stigma against BMW drivers. Do we care? I don't

Three safety cars and one red flag is my prediction. Just watched the lap again, Max was scrapping several walls to achieve pole. The last turn the front left tire was cooked. Max has the flaw/strength that Senna suffered from, he is focused on hyper pace. He can’t slow down, just as Senna couldn’t slow down despite being in lead at Monaco...only faster. Max isn’t driven by the fame or glory...he driven by feeling the razor edge of speed which is the core of what makes him special to watch.

My problem is the "true fan" definition, I don't think that it should exist. If you like a sport you're a fan finished. This definition of what a fan is attempts to create a class divide where some fans are better than others, and that also creates a toxic stigma between supporters of the sport. Like mma and the term "casual, if people don't agree with each other that terms gets thrown out there and it's quite annoying.

Do you then think it makes sense to choose a team based on the opposite of the team from someone you don't like? Like not buying a certain brand of car because there is a stigma regarding its drivers. Don't know what mma is though so I don't understand that last reference.

Remarkable lap
Team affinity aside, any F1 fan appreciates how Max placed the car in spots not traveled by mere mortals.
He actually placed the car in a spot on the track where the wall dipped in. Amazing stuff and likely where his left front got cooked.
