Not at all. One is a elitist aloof German and the other is a wildly insecure British twat.

Also, Toto is Austrian.

Ja, er ist Osstereicher. Aber ich meine germanisch, wenn ich sage Deutsch.

 

I think @52-80wife is Austrian. She'd probably shoot me.

On this topic, I'd been meaning to post that despite some of my Dutch colleagues being quite decent people, Max represents that very very arrogant Dutch stereotype down to a T.  Head so far up his ass he can't see the sunlight

[Fudbelty 2785]

Also, Toto is Austrian.

Ah yes. G’day mate!

Lol. Yeah, Osstereichisch is the generic Austrian. That's funny

So you're saying he's like a T-Sip?!

The Canadian GP twitter account just responded quickly to me with this. Just another example of their awesomeness.

Quick! Let's get his thoughts on Hamilton v. Verstappen in Saudi Arabia.

I am a diehard LH fan - I was actually very upset on Sunday/Monday because the whole damn thing was a total farce.

Anyway, wood says this is an NFL forum. I have a work friend who was one of the early adopters on this side of the atlantic. He's been following the Chiiieeeeefffffs for 15+ years. Go KC! 😁

NFL...NCAA... whatever it takes.

Yeah, you know that drives Horner nuts.

College football mainly. Couple of NFL nuts here and there. Welcome.

I think you shouldn't be able to touch a car under red flag.

people that didn't cause it may have picked up punctures or broken wings from the red flag event.  not particularly inclined to punish them for it.

Sucks, but that's part of racing.  They can come in under green or the next yellow, as they would in normal race conditions.  Red flag should mean the race is completely frozen.

Alternatively, if they feel they MUST make changes, then I'd be okay with letting them restart from the pits.

Haha! I said 'American Football', but 220. 221. Whatever it takes (utee beat me to it). And my 18 yo is also a big Chiefs fan because so many Horns played there when he was a kid.

As mentioned it's mostly a college football forum, but I've never successfully been able to relate watching college athletics to a non American so if NFL is the easiest concept just roll with that lol

Lando suggested changing to rule to two pit stops and two different compounds. They can change tires during the red flag, but only to the same compound. 
 

I think freezing the field works. Any change done to the car at all means you start from the pit, or move to the back if a rolling start. 

[Goofyboy 3154]

I like the plan to start from the back OR pit lane if you work on your car or change tires under red.

Also - Lewis going slow under the restart was brilliant gamesmanship. He knew the rules. He used them to his advantage. Max sounded like a petulant child complaining about how far back Lewis was.

The same Lewis who was complaining about Max doing a practice start from the pit lane coming out of the first red flag? But please, tell us more about how Max complains so much during a race. That's something Sir Lewis Hamilton never would stoop to doing.

Some of y’all (from both sides honestly) are worse than my damn kids. Anytime anyone has any criticism or complaint about your favorite driver the first responses are always about how the other did it first or how much more wrong the other is. “but but brother did it first”

[Amos Moses 795]

There’s gamesmanship and then there’s erratic, cuntish, borderline dangerous driving. Both contenders are definitely ramping up the gamesmanship. The thing is Max doesn’t need to drive like a cunt … his car is plenty fast and he has elite driving skills. Abu Dhabi should be a track that neutralizes the particular distinct advantages of each car at different sectors of the track. Hopefully they allow that to dominate the racing action and see what results.

[Bill Brasky 1438]

I kind of hope they both crash, break their legs, and never race again, but that's just me.

Those pussies!

[kevwun 15589]

Let's be honest, there's no real point in Max driving so assholishly in the corners  when Hamilton is trying to pass him.  It's going to happen regardless because the Mercedes is so much faster now.  He's really just delaying the inevitable.  I say this as a Red Bull fan.

[XYZ 2154]

Shit, and all these years I thought this was a board dedicated mainly to Texas Longhorns football.

[Dutch 4464]

Both Horner and Wolff seem like douchebags of the highest order. Don't care for either of them, although I suppose their job requires it.  

Toto: "The title should not be decided by a collision. It should be earned on merit."

Also Toto: "Disregard that the WDC would already have been decided had both my drivers not taken out Max in consecutive races. Now excuse me while I throw my headset."

Horner: "Lewis tried to kill Max! Fifty-two Gs!"

Also Horner: "Nevermind Max reversing on Lewis' head."

So who wins the WDC if Max crashes out both himself and Lewis, and neither holds the fastest lap point? Do they settle it with a game of pétanque at the start/finish line?

[Dutch 4464]

As for Lewis and Max...

Put them each in a Haas for 52 laps; first one across the line wins the title.

Uh-oh.  You're about to get a sternly worded email from Toto.

Max. He’s won more races.

Yeah I didn't delve into details at the time. I figured 'American Football' would give him a general idea of what the main focus is here without overwhelming his senses with all the horrific and embarrassing details of what makes the Shag the Shag the Surl the Surl.
