Interesting the video shows the lead car staring to move after the trailing car is in position, not at all my point.

Honestly I don’t think I have an ego problem. IDK. I don’t get that response from the people in my life or have I throughout my career. I do like to challenge people who who throw insults at others simply for disagreeing with them. I don’t know why it just triggers something in me. Not in a bad way, just on principle.…

A passing car impacting the side of a leading and it being the passing cars fault... laughable LOL. This actually can and does occur. Based on your rule interpretation, the trailing car can do what it wants once in position, and your laughable scenario... hey Jenson. What were you thinking?!? Ve ttel clearly had…

Well. Thanks for all that. I’ve checked with my lovely wife, children, co workers (some have read Mr. Pewpsticks posts heres and in other discussions) they seem to have differing opinions on whose the “Asshole.” Hint its not me... but thats not for debate hete. I’ll also add that it can’t be both a racing incident and…

You pushed the debate into everything other than what it was... to the point where it was about my logic skills and whatever else you could drudge up to change the focus. I’m familiar with these tactics, they’re distracting and only drag things out.

I’m not sure I equated anyhing to or with ego. I do believe your more bent on being right than objectively evaluating what occured. All things considered, there doesn’t need to be a hypothesis test, that has already been done - the results speak for themselves. The stewards have also ruled - the results speak for…

Well stated. With Silicon valley boys invading on Detroit’s turf makes me wonder what it would be like if Detroit started making cell phones just to prove they can tech. The American Automobile is the most used and abused item item, maybe in history. So many don’t perform routine maintenance just jump in crank the…

I’m not going to address your arts and crafts comments nor your comments on the quality of my logic skills; if you only knew...

So the boys in Detroit know how to build and manufacture but have stagnated innovation, development, and technology. The boys in silocon valley know how to innovate, develop, and impliment new technology but can’t build or manufacture.

Did you do the paper exercise I requested? If you do that it demonstrates the issue in your interpretation. Rosberg made one move and held his line. Hamilton followed on the same line, albeit behind. If Rosberg holds his line the only way they intersect is if Hamilton changes his line and steers toward Rosberg.…

Yeh. I guess the stewards were wrong in deeming it a racing incident? Just as I see it. To be consistent... Hamilton was not alongside till the point of no return, which you agreed with earlier.

I stand corrected. As I played the video originally it appeared it was exiting a turn. If it was indeed a straight. And Alonso did not have position the lead car indeed does not need to leave space. As the rule states in this instance, the lead car can make one move and use the ENTIRE TRACK. I’d have to see the video…

Again. You post a vid of cars in a turn. If you have to leave space then why does the rule for straights indicate that if the trailing car is not in position you can make 1 move and use the ENTIRE TRACK.

I didn’t realize that taking a hunch you were a Hamilton fan was such an insult, I apologize.

I hope you know we are just two people debating F1 on Jalopnik, name calling is unnecessary.

Huh. Reverting to name calling? Schumacher clearly changed his line when Villeneuve was beside him in the corner. The other difference is that they were also in the braking zone and not on a straight. I am being consistent. I’m not the one bringing up a bunch of different passing scenarios. We can evaluate them all if…

Yeh. This one is veey different. Villeneuve was beside Schumi / had clear positipn when Schumi made his move; he wasn’t trailing. This one was ruled correctly just as the Rosberg Hamilton incident was.

Yeh. I agree. All these Golden Parachutes are watering down motivation to succeed as well. There needs to be some middle ground. It’s the exact opposite of Damned if you do Damned if you don’t. It’s win if you do win if you don't.

No. I don’t think running someone off track is acceptable. I do believe, and it’s written in the rules, you can make one move to BLOCK. At that point it’s up to the following car, the one that’s trying to take track position away, to decide what course of action they take to make a pass and direct their car in…

Legal by definition or perceived as dangerous and thus receiving a penalty. I think I’m done here.
