    The entire season in a nutshell.

    Well that was disappointing. But delighted for DeVries though!

    Can't help yourself Crofty can you.



  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 18,807 ✭✭✭✭namloc1980


    Ah that's such an anticlimax. Bring back Masi!!



  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 15,646 ✭✭✭✭Vicxas


    Fair play to Devris tho, Latifi will be on the job line next year for sure

    This ending sums up the excitement levels of the entire season



  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 9,147 ✭✭✭Trampas


    Why didn’t the lap cars get let through when Russell and co got let through



  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 12,341 ✭✭✭✭MadYaker


    They should have red flagged it at lap 49 and had a standing start once the track was clear. Red Bull might complain if Max got jumped but he's winning this year at a canter whether he wins this race or not.



  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 18,807 ✭✭✭✭namloc1980


    Should have red flagged it. Especially when they couldn't clear the McLaren quickly.

    You have to laugh at the blatant hypocrisy of the Sky commentary team wanting convention to be thrown out the window in order to get a grand stand finish, after they threw their toys out of the pram when they dared to allow the race to be restarted after the track was clear with far more laps remaining in Abu Dhabi.

    Latifi now moves to 21st place in a 20 person championship with De Vries getting 2 points.

    Fair play to De Vries. He didn’t look out of place whatsoever.



  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2, Paid Member Posts: 5,982 ✭✭✭SCOOP 64


    Good result for Mercedes 3rd and 5th.



  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 1,412 ✭✭✭KillerShamrock


    If they didn't red flag it they should of just ended it it's insulting to fans, red bull ain't complaining about wanting a motor race this time are they...



  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 1,384 ✭✭✭Longing


    Yes was just about to post about it. There are has two faced as you come.



  • Site Banned Posts: 12,341 ✭✭✭✭Faugheen


    And yet the hilarious thing is if Car 44 was leading, you’d be doing the exact same thing.



  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 1,412 ✭✭✭KillerShamrock


    De Vries driver of the day by a long shot fair play shows up latifi massively



  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 28,132 ✭✭✭✭Larbre34


    What an absolute crock.

    Any incident like that with 10% of the race or less to go, deserves a red flag for a competitive sprint finish.

    Fans have been cheated there, only because of skittishness among the Officials following Abu Dhabi.

    Like so many sports these days, the officials need to get the **** out of the way.

    I really think finishing under a safety car should be a ‘no other option’ scenario.

    No reason why they couldn’t bring the cars in and then restart the race once the track was clear.



  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 1,384 ✭✭✭Longing


    Remember there contribution at and after Abi Dubai got a man the sack.



  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 12,335 ✭✭✭✭klose


    If Williams are anyway serious about being competitive they'll bin off latifi for DeVries for the rest of the season, him and Albon could be a decent duo as the Williams evidently has pace when a competant driver is behind the wheel.



  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 15,865 ✭✭✭✭dulpit


    Fairly bland race once it got going, Verstappen is too good right now. Should have red flagged it though, it should have been obvious that Ricciardo's car wouldn't be cleared quickly.

    Pity about Danny Ric, he was actually having a decent race until his car broke. Shame.

    Fair play to Nyck de Vries, looked well at home in the car. If I was Jost Capito I'd be looking to get him into the car for rest of the season, Latifi is a wasted drive at this point.



  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 18,807 ✭✭✭✭namloc1980


    Think Ferrari did a decent job on strategy today and took a gamble under the VSC and crucially listened to their drivers. The Red Bull with Max was just in a different league today.



  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 15,865 ✭✭✭✭dulpit


    Oof, that's a reaction from the Tifosi against Verstappen...



  • Site Banned Posts: 12,341 ✭✭✭✭Faugheen


    What an incredibly childish response.

    Doesn’t take away from the fact that a hypocrite is calling others hypocrites for a situation where in Abu Dhabi they were full of praise for.

    Once again, posters here can’t look at situations rationally instead of this tribalistic bollocks.



  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2, Paid Member Posts: 16,526 ✭✭✭✭ctrl-alt-delete


    It depends how much money Latifi brings to the team, current estimates at $30Million.



  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2, Paid Member Posts: 16,526 ✭✭✭✭ctrl-alt-delete


    You'd swear he was the head of Ferrari and not just ahead of them.
