BOF Posted July 10, 2022 Author Moderator Share Posted July 10, 2022 The result stands. The teams were given suspended fines instead. Seemingly the 3 drivers' physios or assistants entered parc ferme without permission. Honestly, those Austrian stewards must have been walking around with perpetual hard-ons from the power trip this weekend. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lewis crashed hard into the wall and they instantly started cheering, standing up and pumping their fists. Max ran over some debris. I'll take it you missed the British fans reactions when Lewis and Max had the incident at Copse last year or in '99 when Schumacher broke his leg at Silverstone then? Two worse incidents than Lewis the other day. On both occasions the Silverstone crowd cheered loudly as their first reaction. I'm not condoning it by the way. Just don't make out that only the Max/RB/Dutch fans do it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Plus Schuey seems to be finally clicking. He does that. He definitely does have form for it doesn't he? All through the junior ranks, he was the same. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Probably true but he did win the F2 title and has beaten Magnussen on pure pace today. He got a helping hand to get there but he's no pay driver.

YouUnastanFren Posted July 10, 2022 Share Posted July 10, 2022 Another race and another 5 car battle. Love these regulations, imagine when we're a few seasons into them and the performance has really converged. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I literally only commented on the incident yesterday, and the one the other poster mentioned in response to that which wasn’t an incident. anything else you have entirely fabricated in your head.

Farlz Posted July 10, 2022 Share Posted July 10, 2022 (edited) I definitely think Mick has gotten away with how largely poor he's been because of his name but you can't not credit him for this weekend. Maybe finally getting points at Silverstone relieved all that pressure and he can settle down now. Also did help that the Haas was genuinely very good. He seems like quite a likeable person so I do hope this is a turning point for him. Edited July 10, 2022 by Farlz 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

For some reason you seem to have decided that if it was another crowd with the same reaction to a different driver I wouldn’t have the same opinion, which is completely incorrect.

Like you said in one of your previous posts "Classy dutch fans cheering seeing his car in the wall like a goal" made it seem like the partisan nonsense that you see everywhere which gets on my nerves. My point was that I've seen other sets of fans do the exact same when much more serious incidents occured. Anyway I'll leave it here (a.k.a neck wound in).

Genie Posted July 11, 2022 Share Posted July 11, 2022 I think it’s the same in all sports, if a rival footballer was sent up in the sky in a heavy tackle fans would cheer before they knew if he was ok. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Fans booing or cheering distastefully has happened for decades. Brundle said it during the live broadcast. Below is a short thread of the more recent examples. I know you were making a general point and not one specific to Dutch/Max fans 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

YouUnastanFren Posted July 11, 2022 Share Posted July 11, 2022 I'll be honest, I cheered when Schumacher crashed at Silverstone as I was a Hakkinen fan. In my defence though I was 9. It is a bit childish. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
