F1 2021

Red Bull asked for this and they should have no complaints. Pretty funny though.

RedBull are such crybabies.

What a classless team they are, now i remember why i hated them so much when Vettel was walking championships, such a crass outfit.

The thing that stareted my dislike for Horner was when he started questioning whether Mercedes' dominance was good for the sport. This was just a few years after Red Bull's dominant period had ended. He is shameless

I wonder what was in the documents they submitted. Was it just stuff pertaining to this incident or did they present other stuff trying to show Hamilton in a bad light? Mercedes, rightfully so, seem pretty pissed off

I expect it from Jos, Horner and Marko but bit surprised Verstappen is still crying this much about it, especially given his desperation to be seen as an Alpha male. It's odd that he seems more upset about Hamilton celebrating the victory than the actual accident itself... comes across as being very precious. Perhaps it's just him trying to unsettle Hamilton.

I like Max's statement that Mercedes "showed how they really are". Easy to say that when you have the fastest car but if the drinks manufacturers don't come good next year he will be begging to rebuild those bridges.

Interested by the final paragraph of this statement from the FIA. Wonder what the allegations were

I assume they didn't include any videos of the various reckless incidents Verstappen has been involved over the years. There are a lot to choose from.

Make up your mind mate, are large scale events ok when it involves people you don't mind? You said the sport died when Murray Walker died, so I'm just struggling to understand why you're so enraged by it.

Quality vaulting.

The lengths Red Bull went to are actually bordering on insane. Great thread here about it but they actually sent Albon out a couple of days later in last years car to simulate Hamilton’s lap to show he was in the wrong. They’ve lost their minds

Its both hilarious & embarrassing how Red Bull will cry about anything & everything.

Always laugh at their reaction to the Mercs DAS system. Crying because they didnt think of it.

I didn't realise how toxic the F1 fandom is. It's horrifying.

Its got worse since Liberty Media took over and started heavily promoting the sport to a younger and more casual audience. F1 historically has always been popular amongst older generations but the big social media push combined with Drive To Survive blowing up has brought tons of new young/casual fans into the sport who don't really understand or know the history of the sport and have the same tribal mindset towards drivers that football fans have towards their teams. Its an unfortunate side effect of the rapid growth F1 has seen in the last couple of years due to Liberty Media realising they needed to lower the age demographic of F1 viewers.

Yeah Horner is probably why I have a disdain for Redbull, I think it started with the Webber Vettel "multi 21" and Horner backing Vettel over it.

Mercedes will blow everyone away next season, they have barely developed this seasons car whereas RedBull are adding new aero packages all the time.
