Lol max broke all the rules

so hamilton was right then verstappen hit hamilton.. max was blaming ham
You hit 1.7 million wow over the goal what is the next sub goal?
I just the weaving rule is meh just let the drivers drive
the common ground amongst all the rules about overtaking is, it prevents unnecessary crashes. i think the rules, case by case, are pretty clear. i do think the stewards dont always enforce them equally.
I more confused 😅
You cant really call it "rules" because there are no real rules for tha tin the F1 Sporting Regulations. Its more or less all covered by this part:
33.4 At no time may a car be driven unnecessarily slowly, erratically or in a manner which could be deemed potentially dangerous to other drivers or any other person.
So in the end those are not "rules" but standards by which the stewards decide.
yes, the stewards look exactly like in 1:34
What F1 should do about their passing rules.
1 – The car that is not ahead is deemed to alongside once the front wheel makes it past the rear wheel of the lead car.
The leading car going into a corner must give a car width from the end point of the corner, or is considered at fault. The width applies to both the inside and outside of an apex, meaning once the rear car is ahead of the front cars rear wheel, the rear car also must apply to the same width when driving off the apex out of the corner.
Once the car that is not ahead is in this position, the lead car must not take that width away until safety past the car in back.
2. The car in the rear must be ahead prior to the apex in order for that vehicle to now be able to switch as the lead car.
Same rules as above now apply with apex car widths.
If the car in the rear does not get past prior to the apex, then rule 1 still applies to them and they are the lead car only needs to give a car width.
This way, if you want to make a dive on the inside, you better know you will have to lead as well as be able to be at a slow enough speed as to not push the other off the track.
Same with overtaking vehicles making dangerous maneuvers.
Have all these be penalties and drivers will be much safer.
You got the first rule wrong, specifically the bit about approaching a corner. The FIA International Sporting Code (appendix L, chapter IV, Paragraph 2b) states: "Any driver moving back towards the racing line, having earlier defended his position off-line, should leave at least one car width between his own car and the edge of the track on the approach to the corner".
Keyword there is "approach". For instance, approaching a left-hand corner, the racing line will be the right (outside) edge of the track. If a driver moves to the left (inside) to defend then moves back to the right towards the racing line they must leave a cars width to the outside edge because thats where the racing line is.
Your video suggests the driver has to leave a cars width on the inside of the corner. That is wrong.
i understood nothing thanks
was waiting for you to mention dive bombs… but you never really got into it.
Lando at 4:22 😂
maybe the fia can watch this video since they clearly dont understand their own rules or at least not in brazil
The rules could use an update imo. The cars are safe enough, lets just ditch the rules, but for brake checking, for a race and see what happens.
stroll: lets catch them by suprise
I thought everyone in f1 just drives how the fuck they want
If somebody is on your tail, then you are slower. Just let them go in order not to put yourself in danger and not to increase your time.
Lewis Hamilton rules: divebomb first, worry about the results later.
Or even better, use a special Nürburgring strategy, and outright knock out your greatest opponent by ramming when pretending to divebomb.
Now I'm even more confused😕😕
There are so many grey areas…
as a rookie fan I just confused more
you are allowed to change direction two times max to defend your position.
You literally made me over confused
Being a Nascar fan, this seems so ridiculous. In nascar everybody does whatever they want, F1 is just too sophisticated. Let them have at it and see who the best driver that can block is. 🤣
🚴♀ 👁🚴♀ 🕸 simple concept basic logic if life is not free why the hell would death be any cheaper it's not. So the question one may wonder is the spiritual cost to one's own soul and spirit for having lived and died to the lowest standards of quality for so many years now global pollution has diminished the quality of life to the point where today's people are living, dying and yielding the worst spiritual kickback that has ever been manifested since the beginning of life only getting worse. The polar opposite extreme to that is today's people should be living and dying to the highest standards of quality which would make each and every moment physically, mentally, financially and spiritually beneficial.
