really shitty behaviour by Alpine once again

Mate, Flavio is back in town. The shithousery is only just beginning if history is any indication.

Good for him! I wasn't a big fan of his in F1 but I'm happy he gets to keep driving somewhere.

Worth reading the article as Russell does a good job of explaining his points from a logical position rather than an angry one.

Max has always been on the ragged edge of what is accepted and legal in F1. There are even rules that have been adjusted because of him. As long as the governing body is consistent and fair in their application of the rules people like Max may ruffle feathers but should ultimately have no advantage over their competition. I think most would agree the last several years (and arguably far longer) have seen wildly inconsistent stewarding and race direction decisions, so here we are.

I don't think Max or George are bad drivers, but both are clearly trying to maximize what they can gain from the rulebook that governs their sport. In theory the governing body and its officials maintain normalcy through consistent and fair application of the rules. This season however, like many others, the rules are seemingly applied at random and with varying levels of severity. That's brought us to this point IMO.

The drivers now see that posturing for the referee can net them more success than legitimate racing. At first they complained that this needed to be addressed or it would have a major impact on the sport. It wasn't, so now we're seeing the childish behavior play out on center stage while they compete in the steward's room instead of on track.

It's hard to go wrong with skillful instrumentals imo

I've actually been watching a fair amount of IMSA on YouTube this year. It's pretty good racing most of the time.

SuperGT is a series I'd completely forgotten about. I'll have to see what's going on these days. Thanks!
