True.. philosophical question: would I have to think while working tho?

* for extra context nobody but you brought up radios
October 30, 2025 at 9:42 PM
My dearest friend Hans, if you scroll up directly from this reply you will see that nowhere within the thread I replied to the word radio was used.
But more than that could you please for once reply how much slower Lawson was meant to be and what else he was meant to do in your opinion?
October 30, 2025 at 9:32 PM
1st, pls tell me where I used the word radio.
2nd, did Lawson not follow the flags? if 65kph isn't slowing down significantly then please do enlighten me what is.
3rd, do you not think situations where marshals run on track directly in front of a car should be avoided in the first place?
October 30, 2025 at 7:15 PM
I am not refusing to listen as such I am trying to understand why you keep saying that the root cause of the situation is somehow irrelevant to the situation. do you not think it shouldn't have happened at all bc that is what the og point you are arguing against was.
October 30, 2025 at 7:05 PM
he was going 65kph how much slower should he have been in your opinion? I've been on a few pavements were cars were driving past me at that speed have you not?
the way you talk about it is as if he was doing 200kph or even 100kph which he wasn't it was 65.
October 30, 2025 at 7:05 PM
How is it irrelevant to the incident if it's the reason it happened in the first place?
Also Lawson slowed down significantly, he didn't steer towards the marshals who were moving away from the direction he was driving to, and had he not slowed enough he would've gotten a penalty don't you agree?
October 30, 2025 at 6:54 PM
Just to make sure I understand you assign absolutely no blame to race control who considering it was lap 1 could've waited to make sure all cars had passed before telling the Marshals to go on track right?
They have zero blame and it's all just the drivers which is why there were no penalties right?
October 30, 2025 at 6:28 PM
Why are you so focused on Liam?
Why are you assigning more blame to him than the people that created the situation in the first place? Should the situation not have not happened at all in the first place? There were many many things that failed before it comes to Liam why are you ignoring those?
October 30, 2025 at 6:24 PM
Can you explain to me why it's irrelevant that someone failed their job of making sure the procedures happen in a safe manner and TOLD the marshals that it's safe to go on track?
Nobody is blaming the marshals themselves, you do know that right?

I get that anything with Lewis gets engagement but if you're doing any analysis at least finish thinking your thought before you go and feed into some insane bullshit.
October 28, 2025 at 7:23 PM
You do know that there is a second turn after this right?
October 28, 2025 at 4:41 PM
Are you really that pissed off that he chose to avoid contact with his teammate? Bc he had the inside line for the next corner and then what? And considering he had the inside for the next corner he only really gained on NOR and he gave that back.
October 28, 2025 at 4:10 PM
So he should've conceded a position to George then?
He "got away with it" bc he gave the advantage back to NOR and there was no way of also letting HAM past bc VER was ahead of HAM. He gave the advantage back.
And Ferrari were never going to make them swap while in a DRS train in L1
October 28, 2025 at 4:10 PM
You are totally right it's a turn 1.5 incident which totally changes everything bc it's not like what's happening is part of the aftermath of being like 4 cars wide into turn 1 or like Leclerc had a snap of oversteer.

Serious question would you rather he'd have driven into LH?
