am I blind?
The incident in question was Lap 17. Go back and check the footage after the race where the drivers are looking at the replay footage including data
am I blind?
Lap 17 was the problem, not the lap 16 letting Mikail go.Did everyone go crazy or am I blind? If the incident happened on lap 16, the only thing I see is Fraga slowing down to let Hizal go right after the La Source turn. When Eau Rouge comes ahead, Hizal was already ahead of Fraga with a clear track in front? How did Fraga's supposed lifting at Eau Rouge affected Hizal, honestly?
From what I've seen, thought the 5 sec penalty was not deserved. Igor is a pro and that was a beautiful move. As for Cody, I'm ok with him being a bit cocky and arrogant, but jesus christ, what he did to Miyazono (what a genius, btw. Was rooting for him) was ugly.
Regardless of what happened and who's right, Igor's mentality is a strength. Hizal is clearly in disadvantage in this aspect.
Miyazono is my Michelin Driver of the Day. Congrats to everyone that raced today, it was a very entertaining to watch as always!
You got me lol.Well the i3 is extremely slow firstly.
You are missing the point. He let up, and there is no excuse around that. Period. Penalty wasn’t known, yes, but what if Fraga had gone wide and left himself open for a move? Hizal was nowhere to be found. I can’t defend that kind of behavior. I’m not defending Fraga’s behavior here. I thought it was bush league, but there is blame on both sides here IMHO.
I'm gonna go ahead and assume that Nations is not worth watching because the race quality of these top guys was total ****. Shame, really. Igor shouldn't have won.
If, if, if. What we had was a dirty move from a driver who should know better, who's sponsored by PD and who didn't get a penalty until after the race.
You're somehow more bothered by Hizal's "kind of behaviour", which is not up to your standards, than by everything I mentioned above. Good on you!
I hope so, because I always look forward to the X14/19 race at the end.Literally everything but the Grand Final was actually good.
I'm 8,000 miles outside.@Famine are you here? Me and potvinsuks are outside where they're letting people oit
Senna didn’t let up and was thoroughly punished by the French favouring FIA for it one year racing against Prost. He was disqualified from the Japanese GP.I happen to not like quitters, but that’s just me. If you do, then good on you my friend. 👍 Do you think Senna would have “let up” and just accepted his fate and finished a distant 2nd? Would Hamilton? Would Schumacher? Seems unlikely to me.
Yeah but he didn’t and even before Eau Rouge he still will carry less speed through the whole corner because of the lift off. And still. Vetel lost this one because of that move. I think Fraga will drive in F1 in a few seasons he is not only sponsored by PD he is sponsored by McLaren same academy that actually produced Hamilton and i think same academy that teaches both this move trough Eue Rouge. I actually think that Fraga is better driver than last year because he don’t cave under pressure as he did last season.I don't like Hamilton but he lifted a bit before Eau Rouge, he didn't get off the throttle for a full second through the middle of Radillon. In real life, even if he didn't cause a serious accident, he would've defo gotten a race ban and like 10 points on his license.
But Hizal shouldn't have given up so that's on him.
On another note, what about that Indy at Pocono-like race in the Repechage? That is simultaneously, the stupidest, and the best idea for a race possible...
I remember the Canadian go I think it was when Alonso and Hamilton were dueling and one deliberately slowed down to gain drs advantage on the other

The fact that you think I was being pedantic shows you’re actually the one who missed the point.No need to be pedantic. That fact has zero to do with the original point and we all know that.

I happen to not like quitters, but that’s just me. If you do, then good on you my friend. 👍 “He kept blocking me so I just decided to fall back and finish 2nd.” That mentality sounds ridiculous when you spell it out. Do you think Senna would have “let up” and just accepted his fate and finished a distant 2nd? Would Hamilton? Would Schumacher? Seems unlikely to me.
They were side by side at the time when they both lifted, so it's hardly blocking
The guys I was with thought they saw you. Didn't get a chance to meet @Jordan but did meet up with @Timlour and @potvinsuks. That last race is gonna talked about for weeks!I'm 8,000 miles outside.
Quick additional note: one of the involved drivers had already qualified for the World Final and didn't need to win this World Tour event.
No. This incident and story took the event to another level. For my money it was already one of the best.All in all the whole story made the most damage for the event. If dangerous driving gives you just a 5s penalty you admitting its just a game and it does not matter what fancy brands you take as partners.
Yeah you’re the one who brought up Senna in the first place to bolster your argument and now that it backfires on you, you’re all “random decades ago.”Sure, bud. It seems clear that the argument is would they act that way in the SAME SITUATION. Not in some random F1 race decades ago. But I suppose that’s lost on you somehow. No worries, you roll with that if that works for you.
Feel like the stewards just make descisions based on thin Air, its seems there is no set of rules with fixed penaltys for Standard situations, Racing Without a Clear Set of Rules will keep causing situations where stewards award bigger penaltys for misjudgements like in latkofski,s Case then for igor Deliberately Slowing Down on The Racing Line,Stewards are... not good. Again.
Ironic in a digital game the experience is ruined by analog decisions.
