Btay Posted October 9, 2022 Report Share Posted October 9, 2022 Max is world champion as Charles was given a 5 second penalty right at the end there. A lot of talking points from this race though. Can’t believe the tractor was out in those conditions with cars on the track. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

What was even worse about that is that on Sky Herbert, Chandhok and Di Resta were putting the majority of the blame for that on Gasly. Bunch of twats should be embarrassed and ashamed of themselves for the way they conducted themselves during the red flag. Button had the perfect handle on it all. It's a shame Sky don't use him more often because those three (Herbert in particular) are absolute whoppers. Zoo 2.0 and Btay 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MikeO Posted October 22, 2022 Report Share Posted October 22, 2022 I'm not, like many, anti Red Bull/Verstappen by any means; but what Horner is saying on other teams running a 'concerted campaign' against them on the budget cap issue is a bit daft. If the shoe was on the other foot and Mercedes were the ones under investigation he'd be doing exactly the same thing. https://www.bbc.co.uk/sport/formula1/63361127 Palfy and Romey 1878 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Did that in probably around 1969/70 in my parents VW camper, dad hadn't realised some of the track was ordinary road; he loved it.
