You sound like some self-proclaimed great authority. Did you race in Formula 1? I don't think so. Therefore, your word is not the ultimate authority. And I am not going to engage in personal attacks with you. No, I'm not a racer and I haven't raced in Formula 1 either. But I understand a lot of the rules. Yes, I did mess up that sentences. It was supposed to read "a full car's width". And please don't give me that white line argument, because Rosberg is NOWHERE NEAR Hamilton at turn entry. And you only need a pair of eyes to see that, not an FIA superlicense. And this was never about the track limits. The racing line is physics, but you are not the ultimate authority in physics either. There isn't always one and only one racing line. There could be different techniques by the different drivers, and even different lines for turn entry or exit. Not claiming Rosberg took some other ideal line, he tried taking an aggressively defensive line. But it's nowhere near as black and white as you say it is. And what you are giving me is a theory - that a driver must always follow "the" racing line. And I asked you to back it up with the FIA regulations. It's your theory, so you should be the one researching the regulations. In fact, the stewards' decision does not talk about any racing lines. To top it off, your Schumacher comments, and throwing in Alonso and Button into the mix doesn't make you sound credible, not one bit. The stewards simply put the two Mercedes drivers on the same level. Today's Formula 1 is all about politics. And by the way, Vettel thinks it was a racing incident, which is also my opinion. I tried having a conversation with you, and I asked you for sources for your claims. You just kept implying what a great authority you are, and that I should work to get to your level. This is not a good discussion and want nothing to so with it. But just in case you change your approach, you might be interested in reading this: https://f1metrics.wordpress.com/2014...les-of-racing/ |

I'm not the authority-not in the least bit, but you're choosing not to acknowledge a common ground to start a discussion, so I'll just leave it be. Again, didn't mean to offend you. G/L |

You're funny. Don't give yourself too much credit, I am not offended at all It's just that it's not a good discussion. All you seem to rely on is your self-proclaimed reputation as a great racer. Again, did you race in Formula 1???
It's both sad and funny that you got only to section 2 on the F1metrics article. A section that deals with something completely different (the one move rule). Again and again, you show your understanding of the different concepts in racing does not match your pretentiousness. It's a shame, because if you had read the full article you would have learned of other instances of using an aggressive defensive line, different from the ideal racing line, intended to crowd out a driver who is attacking on the outside. |

Wow! Waited FIVE days to say something back and it's the same thing-only now with a condescending tone?!!! I bet you're the type who'll defend Volkswagen's emissions scandal just because you're a devoted FANantic?
Hahaha! G/L dude! |
