They have the technology with the virtual safety cars. They could use the same tech for regulating track limit abusers. Instead of car destroying curbs.

I’ve said this before, allow the team principles to request to speak, so effectively putting their hand up in a classroom. The race director can then decide when they want to speak to them. At least the race director can gather their thoughts firsts and not be distracted.

As it is now it’s more lobbying and that just isn’t allowed in most sports. Some of that has to fall at Masi door though. Can you imagine people giving Ross Brawn the same shit for example, nope neither can I.

Replace him with someone else and just get him to do track safety or something.

Pure class.
I expect Bottas may have more fun at this Gala than the previous 5 without Hammy and Toto.

The proverbial 'Racing Gods' are ruthless: during the FIA press conference tonight (interview with Max Verstappen, Christian Horner and Jean Todt) it was announced that Valtteri Bottas was stuck at the airport with a delayed flight. So no Toto Wolff (intentional no show), no Sir Lewis Hamilton (intentional no show) and (temporary) no Valtteri Bottas (accidental no show).

To be dubbed the "Greatest Of All Time" and an inspiration to many worldwide, you should also act graceful and sportsmanslike in times of adversity. A true winner can handle a tough loss and allow a rival his/her place under the sun and his/her round of applause, even if it hurts hard.

Sir Lewis Hamilton could have taken the opportunity to express in a composed way his disappointment and disagreement during the FIA celebration event. On the contrary, by bluntly refusing to attend the FIA celebration event he made the same statement that featured on the back of his pullover last week in Abu Dhabi. Sir Lewis Hamilton is a living F1 legend and role model, but disappointed tonight by tarnishing his "Still I Rise" motto. Looks as if he still needs to rise to handle the adversity of losing a world driver championship title. Appeal was withdrawn - the classification is final - deal with it, Sir.

As soon as i click the video and hear the british accent i know what stance is coming next lol. they all run the same compliment sandwich -- congrats to max --> lewis should have won --> but congrats to max who is deserving champ and hopefully rules change next year. lmao

Yeah indeed . For a moment I thought his car would be there with the number 1 .
Too bad ...

So , the whole presentation was actually French and as usual a French mess..
And then came J.Todt ....Good Lord !

I thought the woman presenter was a bit loud with her French sidekick too quiet and a lot of the other runner up drivers shooed off without saying anything.
It was good to see cheated out of '08 title Massa, and Todt was like a slow grinding stone and probably be auctioning off those old F1 helmets soon.
Still Max's centre stage speech kept that woman quiet for a bit

Looked like there wasn't anything planned .The French..Good Lord !
They didn't knew who the drivers were..Like who's the co-driver and who's the driver ...
At least the confusion was complete !
