Did you know that there's 28 grams (1oz)of sugar in one of those cans of energy drink. kinda makes you think what they use to replace the sugar in the sugar free stuff.
exactly. so, no line has been crossed. the limits were pushed, but not broke.
driving at 40mph in a 40 zone could be considered pushing it. after all, you're only 1mph away from breaking the limit...
and that's the problem. because hamilton was punished for less, everything else after that is going to look bad. there's a lot worse going on through the pack in all races. the only reason this is a bigger issue is because of the drivers who were involved.
that's my opinion though. i thought it was a great race. it could have been boring (it usually is at monza).
i think because lewis got a penalty in a previous race for doing less, then anything after that should be punishable. but that defending lewis got the pen for was a nothing incident. so for me, the yard stick was wrong in the first place.
the slight kink in that straight could be considered a turn. i think that's where the grey area is. because if that's the case then it would always look like 2 defensive moves. rule "agreement" is that a driver should not weave in the braking zones and that he can only make one defensive move per straight. but if that kink is considered a corner then MSC was allowed 2 defensive moves before the chicane. that's how i understood it. i could be completely wrong though.
Any Budding DJ's out there who would like to get one (or more) of their mixes played on Innervisions ERadio?
pm me a mix and if it's good enough, i'll submit it into Project Eden Sunday Take over. Unfortunately Dan, they don't allow Hardcore. But most House sub genres are accepted.
I wasn't trolling dude. Everyone is entitled to an opinion. I just wanted to know why yours was so different from everybody elses. I think Button and Hamilton are just as good as each other. Button is better with the tyres and pit strategy. Hamilton is faster during a race but more prone to accidents (because he pushes so hard).
Everyone who has a blog is saying MSC was pushing the boundaries. Nobody is saying he actually crossed the line. Yes he was treading on thin ice but if you don't push the boundaries, then what is the point in racing?
There's a saying in football about the perfect winger; "Chalk on his boots". It means that the winger is always stretching the defenders and pushing the line forward. i think the same can be said about good racing drivers. They take their cars to the edge and then push a bit more. If they didn't then anybody could enter the F1 championship. That's what separates them from us.
It highlights that on this occasion, Hamilton literally came out on top (of buttons car). He went for an ever closing gap and wrote his car off. it was the end of his race.
