Damn... you are right! But there must be other trade offs, like not being able to merge into traffic at legal speed? ;)

Agreed. There was a time when fighting aggressively for a corner, including the inevitable contact that may come with it, was called hard racing.

yup, but many people like to hate on him. Yes he is a bit more agressive then most racers. But he is a beast on the track.

Rosberg definitely was much, much more egregious but their reasoning for the difference is BS. Verstappen absolutely knew Leclerc was there.

But then those long runoff areas are a result of past 20 years of removing gravel and grass traps. Grass is a launch pad in wet condition and gravel flips the cars.

Truly. Some of the discussion around F1 past weeks is giving me a headache. So many “solutions” that have been tried already past 30 years in F1. Feels like Netflix has brought a influx of new fans to the sport

These rules exist because drivers like Schumacher Would cause crashes of their opponents, even if it disabled their own cars, as long as it was to their advantage. It is one of the side effects of safer cars - you can make a crash happen with little risk to yourself. The rules try to account for this but it leads to

Yeah how can someone be against penalties for unsafe release? Hey maybe if you can "accidentally" hit am opponent's pit crew on the way out they'll be too distracted to take care of their driver's stop! What a strategy!

Mate, the unsafe release too? C’mon now, we’re getting a little carried away. I agree with the general sentiment, but we have to have some consideration for safety or we’re going to start killing drivers again.

It’s bad enough that too many of the Deadspin writers have that “Forget the rules, how I feel during the event is more important” attitude. Please don’t let that get rooted here. If a rule is broken, issue the penalty. Don’t like the rule? Champion for it to get removed next season.

You’re wrong in so many ways:

Many years ago, a couple cops I knew pulled a guy over for a DUI. Turns out, the guy is a priest. Most cops have a superstition about arresting priests.

It used to be a criminal charge, but most states now follow civil penalties for refusing to submit to a chemical test. Namely, your driving privileges are revoked automatically.

That varies from state to state.  Here in Georgia, refusal results in loss of license for a year.

If somebody is so drunk that they can’t consent,(and it’s pretty much way obvious since cops can probably smell the alcohol) then I don’t see a problem.

the plaintiff was found by police walking near his car, failed a breathalyzer, but passed out before he could be given a more reliable breath test at the police station. So the cops took him to the hospital where they had his blood drawn and tested for alcohol. Obviously, Mitchell could not consent because he was

If a person has to give consent for blood to be taken. If someone collapses in the Street and is Unconscious and taken to Hospital do the doctors/nurses not run tests to find out why they collapsed until they ave woken so they can give consent.

How about this one:
Don’t drink and drive?

I worked as an ED (ER/A&E) doctor in the Northern Territory of Australia where there are laws mandating that all occupants of a vehicle and any involved pedestrians in an RTC have to have their blood drawn for a BAC.
