That is a little drama queenish. Drive to Survive loves him!
Like it or not - F1 Show. They need/want personalities. Because whether you like it or not - that is where the money is. They want social media presence, drama, personalities, Instagram, driver's girlfriends on youtube, etc. They are eating up the Toto vs. Horner.
Engineering is boring.

I don't think the actions of either drivers or the speed that it happened at were particularly dangerous in that sense but the somewhat freak landing of Max on top of Lewis certainly was and is a handy reminder that despite my initial misgivings, the Halo is actually a pretty fantastic and effective safety device. I'm just very thankful that both walked away unscathed.

It turned it with the wheel landing on his head it was dangerous, sure... but if you are comparing recklessness and the speed between the two incidents in terms of responsibility its not even close, but despite that, as some sort of warped point scoring exercise between both of them you still feel the need to compare them.
Not only do I find this fanatical and cultish but the fact that you feel the need to use them in that way tells me that you know deep down that the danger aspect of what Lewis did at Silverstone registered deeply within you... that you feel the need to try to diminish it by make a bigger deal about Monza.
Did he state that as being his reason?... or are you just whining your usual warped nonsensical pish?
Could it just be that Horner (rightly or wrongly) feels aggrieved, in that his driver got penalised and Lewis did not, when he feels that Lewis was just as much to blame?Last edited by Zico; 25th September 2021 at 21:29.

Have you really become so paranoid that you assume anyone who doesn't share your view has an hidden agenda against your favorite drivers, or have you become so arrogant that you think playing online psychologist suits you well? You seem to make a lot of arguments based on assumptions that you know a poster better than they know themselves, and it comes across as quite childish at best.
If something as simply as a clear yes or no question gets you all paranoid and pompous towards others, you really should rethink your views on posting in a public forum.
I could live without all the drama myself. But it has become more and more part of the show. Why? Because some believe all this game playing and crap talking really matters, when really it's been going on for years but not covered as much.
And though I'm not into the minutia to the extent that F1nKS is, I do enjoy the tech side of F1 as much as the racing. The fact that the series exists has led to a lot of automotive innovation in a number of areas. As a test bed the series is just amazing, with a lot of innovation banned not long after introduction. But the fact that it's now out and exists always leaves it there as potential for street cars and/or other series.

The "Silly Season" in Formula 1 is always an exciting time for fans, as it's full of speculation, drama, and big announcements regarding driver movements, team changes, and even sponsor shakeups. As we approach the conclusion of this year's Silly Season, there's a sense of anticipation in the air. With several key dominoes still to fall, the upcoming week promises to be intriguing for F1 fans.
Last year’s Silly Season gave us thrilling moments, especially leading up to the 2023 Italian Grand Prix in Monza, where we witnessed the unforgettable race with Pierre Gasly, Carlos Sainz, and Lance Stroll on the podium. That race was a stark reminder of how unpredictable Formula 1 can be—something that keeps fans on the edge of their seats. The chaotic conditions, red flags, and unexpected race strategies that led to that unlikely podium are the kind of moments that define F1 history. As we look toward the final moves of this year’s Silly Season, those Monza memories highlight how much can change in just one race weekend.
With the Valtteri Bottas announcement—most likely moving on from his current team to make room for a new driver, potentially paving the way for a younger talent—the rest of the dominoes should begin falling soon. Bottas' decision could set off a series of seat changes across the grid, particularly at Mercedes, Alfa Romeo, and even potentially affecting junior drivers in the Red Bull and Ferrari driver programs. Once one top-tier seat is confirmed, the rest of the grid tends to fall into place rather quickly, as teams finalize their lineups for the next season.
One of the most exciting rumors involves Sergio Pérez and Red Bull, with whispers circulating about whether he’ll stay on as Max Verstappen’s teammate or if Red Bull will make a bold move and bring in a new face. Similarly, the McLaren lineup seems locked in with Lando Norris and Oscar Piastri, but their rise in form puts pressure on the rest of the mid-field teams to elevate their own driver pairings.
There's also a lot of buzz around the future of Daniel Ricciardo, especially after his strong return performances with AlphaTauri, and whether he'll move back to a top team or remain with Red Bull’s sister team for a longer-term rebuild.
As always with Formula 1's Silly Season, there’s also the off-track drama. Will Audi's entry into the sport lead to any major changes? How will team principals manage their driver lineups to balance long-term development with immediate results? And with the addition of Andretti Global potentially on the horizon, could we see new drivers or manufacturers impacting the grid?
Ultimately, this week will likely bring a whirlwind of confirmations and rumors to rest as contracts are signed and teams prepare for the next chapter in F1’s evolving landscape. With Gasly, Sainz, and Stroll’s Monza heroics still fresh in our memories, this next week of announcements may set the stage for similar surprises in the 2024 season. F1 is never short on drama, and as the Silly Season comes to a close, the excitement only builds toward the final races of the year and next cbg drops season’s potential zumba online classes storylines.
