It's not the Brazilian GP thread yet, m8.

>>74768645
>I just get the impression he's getting babbied into being the next golden boy of F1.

Reminds me of the Brazilian GP last year.

Nico had a twitch before corner 3 (or whatever is it).
That gave Max a huge run on Nico, so
Max went off line around the outside to pass Nico

When he was off line, he discovered there was more grip out there, so he started using that line from then on.

Cue Martin Brundle for the rest of the race:
>"hurr hurr how does he know there's more grip out there. No one else has even thought of taking that line. Max is so amazing. That boy will be world champion some day."


So many fanboys, especially in the media, are so committed to the "Max is a future WDC" narrative, that everything he does is twisted to meet their confirmation bias.

>muh corner cutting

Sure, remember when Hamilton cut the corner on lap 1 and nothing came of it? It's bullshit but I can see why Verstappen assumed it is allowed because the stewards didn't punish anyone else for doing it

>muh exceeding track limits

Everyone does this, plus when has this been a particular problem with Max specifically?

>muh moving under braking

Not illegal at the time because it was the first defensive change of direction he made, which is pretty much "loophole" tier but not illegal. I don't have a problem with any of his moves aside from the Kemmel straight one which was just dangerous and stupid

>muh forcing another driver off track

Not illegal, happens all the time. Literally Hamilton's signature move. Some people know how to do it, some people don't.

>muh double/multiple defensive moves

More like a loophole, not really illegal because of the way he does it. Plus I don't really see an issue in actually trying to defend a position?

'Legal' but still cunt move bonuses:
>muh screw strategy and burn away my tyres because I'm not here to finish

This is retarded I agree

>muh disobeying team orders even though I am clearly holding up my teammate

When has this ever happened? It's hard to argue Sainz was ever in a position where he was actually faster than Verstappen? Plus the Ricky/Max Malaysia battle was Ricky holding up Max, who was on a different strategy and without the VSC and Ham explosion the strategy would have panned out as HamVerRic

Schumi did the same sort of shit except even worse on occasion yet people class that under his amazing dedication and passion for the sport blah blah even though Schumi straight up tried to kill people on track

TLDR you are a buttmad idiot

I do think the steward's treatment of Max is occasionaly questionable though. Either be harsh to everyone or be as lenient as with Max to everyone. Consistency is key, hopefully based ROSS THE BOSS will fix the stewards shit and being so emotional

Joy Division is significant BECAUSE he died, Unknown Pleasures makes a whole lot more sense with the knowledge that he killed himself months after it's release. Like hell, the band is named after a sex slavery wing of a Nazi concentration camp.

What is it with Hamilton and him constantly going into the wrong pit?

>>74770410

It's cunty but you could argue that he is simply following the racing line in the first instance, setting up for the left hander, than the move onto the left is the actual defensive move, therefore allowed. What drivers don't like is that Max only defends once the driver behind chooses their overtaking side and commits to it. Then again these are supposed to be the best drivers in the world so it shouldn't be some sort of nice guy central where every pass is done without issue.

I think in an alternative life Max could be a good lawyer.

>Sure, remember when Hamilton cut the corner on lap 1 and nothing came of it? It's bullshit but I can see why Verstappen assumed it is allowed because the stewards didn't punish anyone else for doing it
It was still illegal.

>Everyone does this
And most have been penalized/had their quali time deleted. Not max tho. Hence it became a particular max issue.

>Not illegal at the time because it was the first defensive change of direction he made, which is pretty much "loophole" tier but not illegal. I don't have a problem with any of his moves aside from the Kemmel straight one which was just dangerous and stupid
I remember there being some paragraph/rule stating something along the lines of generally doing anything that could be endangering another driver resulting in penalty.

>Not illegal, happens all the time. Literally Hamilton's signature move. Some people know how to do it, some people don't.
If it's not illegal, how come Rosberg was penalized for doing it in Hockenheim last year?
Hamilton and Verstappen getting away with it just because they're doing it smoothly doesn't make it any less illegal.

>More like a loophole, not really illegal because of the way he does it. Plus I don't really see an issue in actually trying to defend a position?
See point of general dangerous driving rule.
There is nothing wrong with defending your position. Max doesn't defend his. What he does is straight up blocking, which is retarded.

>This is retarded I agree
Good.

>>74770217
Cont.
>When has this ever happened? It's hard to argue Sainz was ever in a position where he was actually faster than Verstappen?
It was still a team order.
Also, Hungary iirc.

>>74771011
Hockenheim was a bullshit decision because the driver steward for that race was Fittipaldi, who is a big Hamilshit fanboy. There are a fair few more driver stewards who are inexplicably biased towards Lewis as well, can't remember their names atm

the fuck man, it was just a good solid stop. they all do that most of the times. and its not that hard to do.

Am enjoying his racing and the fact that he brings back controversy to the events but fuck me dutchfags are getting blurred vision and that's taking away some of the enjoyment.

I prefer to listen to Sky's Hamilton centric broadcast because it gives me another reason to dislike him, I don't like it when it's the driver I like, the praise doesn't feel as earned when the commentators are already biased.

sure that's a more realistic finish, but if max takes out the ferraris again a good williams result is on the table. the 1st gp is typically a reflection of who did well in testing anyways, just look at sauber and mclaren's fluke results from aus '15 and '14.

>>74771117
I believe Danny Sullivan, Paul Gutjahr and Gerd Ennser are some of the (less well known) biased stewards, too. If the stewards' identities and which way they ruled on certain incidents
were more publicised people would be calling for their heads just like in soccerball when a referee decides to make the game about himself

>So many fanboys, especially in the media, are so committed to the "Max is a future WDC" narrative, that everything he does is twisted to meet their confirmation bias.


Actually, another example from Verstappen that race.

In the rain, slight curve but more or less in a straight line, suddenly losses traction and spins before he can react.
He slams on the brakes, holds the wheel straight, and rides out the spin.
Thanks to there being a heap of tarmac where he spun, he scrubs off enough speed and doesn't hit anything.

Media and fanboys shit their pants about his "amazing save", when he was nothing but a passenger.
"Proof" once again that he is a "future world champion".


Compare that to Joylen Palmer at Monaco.
In the rain, slight curve but more or less in a straight line, suddenly losses traction and spins before he can react.
Thanks to it being Monaco, there's no room, and he goes straight in the wall.

Media and fanboys pile shit on him.
"Proof" that he is a shit pay driver.

>>74771384
so it wasn't an epic save, hm ok

>>74771384
The difference is that verstappen calculates based on the distance from the wall at all times how much throttle he could apply in case he spun. He predicted a 50% chance of a spun a few meters ahead actually because you can see how he lifts the throttle before.

Palmer just drives like an ape reacting to what happens.

>>74770843

I know that's what he was referencing but was Sainz actually faster than Max in that race? Or in that part of the race? I don't remember the specifics of it.

>>74771011

Your problem is that you are trying to find consistency and logic in the steward's decisionmaking.

Stewards are ex-drivers and their decision making process can literally be "fuck that was awesome, lets not penalize i

Stewards generally tend to have a leniency towards e.g. Hamilton and Verstappen, and a "dislike" for lack of a better word towards e.g. Gimi and Rosberg.

Plus re: the forcing someone wide thing, if it is done well (Hamilton, Max) it isn't forcing someone wide, it's simply making the opposing car drive such a line that they will have no option but to either back out of it or go wide. There was a lengthy discussion regarding this over here including diagrams and whatnot. It's not "forcing" someone wide, its assuming such a line (generally just the racing line) in such a way that the other driver has to make the decision to either go wide, back out, or crash. It's been done in racing since forever and its not illegal unless it is a forceful pushing wide like you see in Nascar and whatnot. Dirty yes but it is just what happens in circuit racing.

OH MY GOD WHAT CAR CONTROL HE SPUN OUT BUT LETS NOT FOCUS ON THAT BIT OF SHIT DRIVING BUT LETS FOCUS ON THE FACT THAT THE STARS ALIGNED AND HE MANAGED TO CATCH IT WOW HE TRULY IS THE NEXT SENNA NOW LETS FOCUS ON HOW GREAT OF A DRIVER HE IS BECAUSE HE OVERTOOK A LOT OF PEOPLE (including super competitive cars like Force India, Ocon's P8 meme Manor, Nasr's meme Manor-killer Sauber) AND LETS COMPLETELY DISREGARD THE FACT THAT HE WAS DRIVING A RED BULL WHICH HAS ARGUABLY THE MOST DOWNFORCE, PROBABLY THE BEST DRIVABILITY AND HE WAS ON FRESH WET TIRES (which was only caused by the fact that he agreed with his team that it was a good idea to go onto inters because torrential rain stopped for 2 seconds)

Truly the greatest driving performance of all time.

Fuck Codemasters, I'm done.
Tried my best to run an online league using realistic car performance and AI to help pad out the grid and it always blows up in my face. I want to enjoy the experience but something always goes wrong.

I need to find a better game but I'm soo out of my depth when it comes to running mods/hosting servers. I'm slowly losing my integrity as a league director but I can't do anything about that because trying to compete in this shitty fucking game is soo frustraiting.

AI will never deliver on such experience, no matter the game/sim.

if you want great driving then you need to race vs real people in a league invironment. that's prolly the only option.
or maybe with iracing, no matter the views about the sim, they are able to get the right amount of talent in the right places, epic close racing most of the time once you pass the rookie levels.

>>74771688

No, the point is the confirmation bias.

Rosberg and Max spun in the same spot, and made the same standard save, but when Max does it it's an "EPIC SAVE THAT PROVES HE'S A FUTURE WORLD CHAMPION".

>>74771667

Stop playing F1 games online?

Actually I don't know what's worse, trying to race online or trying to race the shitty AI. Those games can be alright (I have several hundred hours clocked in across the various titles lmao) but it is hard to take them seriously with things like scripted tire wear, tire wear glitches, AI either being total cucks (F1 2013) and never passing, and if they do pass you they are automatically like 1 second faster than you and you cannot catch up to them no matter what you do, or being meme divebombers (F1 2016) thanks to slipstream that is like 5x more powerful than in real life

Has anyone ever actually caught up to a race leader in the F1 games? I honestly don't think it's possible. Especially like Vettel in 2013 seems so ridiculously overpowered that if he is up front he will drive borderline quali laps without tire wear being an issue and its practically impossible to keep up to him both in terms of tire wear and fuel consumption.

I'm talking expert and legendary difficulty settings

yes i understand that and agree, media are faggots.
but that doesn;t take away the fact that the save itself was pretty great and exciting.
if you can't handle that because you are too hung up on getting annoyed by what other people say then you probably are not enjoying 95% of any kind of motorsports.

why are you here then? just for the memes? or just to 'dissagree'?

if so, relax man, its ok to be an a homo, as long as you like F1 its fine.

Like I said, the AI are only there to pad out the grid as we can only advertise the league soo much and because of realstic car performance people don't want slower cars and tend to leave after one or two races.

I only went for realistic car performance because whats the point playing an F1 game if each team's cars don't react like they should?

I need to step away from F1, Codemasters has a shitty netcode, awful server options that restrict customisation.

I want to keep to open wheel racing but... aghhh, I'm soo annoyed, I don't know who to confide in, pls send help.

>>74771802
>but that doesn;t take away the fact that the save itself was pretty great and exciting.


You find it to be "pretty great and exciting" because you're a Verstappen fanboy.
To neutral observers, it was pretty standard.

I am aware of the stewards biases, mate.
My point is, if they weren't giving him any special treatment, he'd be plastered with penalties and most likely be sent back to Toro Rosso IF stewards (plus the media and RB) weren't shilling for the >future schumi narrative.

I'm not trying to deny that he's talented.
Him being babbied even harder than Vettel or Hamilton and having the cuntiest attitude just makes him unlikeable to me, though.
It also makes it impossible to judge whether he's genuinely good or not.
The babbying sure as hell doesn't make a good expression though. Same goes for Hamilton and Vettel as well.

About the forcing wide: I really don't see how your explanation isn't still forcing wide, kek. That is what I meant by Hamilton and Verstappen doing it 'smoother'. But I see it as part of racing anyway. No point in continuing discussing this.

How come he still looks so young?
Are those the blessed binish genes?

>>74771848
i don't recall his save at the time but yes, i would have.
i appreciate craftsmanship from anyone anon. no matter whom it is.

of course i am rooting for amx but its not clouding my mind and i am certainly not influenced by media either getting a constant hardon for him or anyone or the other way around.

been a fan of motorsports and F1 long enough to be able to judge for myself.

Is the girl a NEET?

>>74773621
she's still 17 so she shouldn't be. Maybe she's homeschooled.

She's always touring with either amx as part of his entourage or with her mother and going shopping and trips to exotic locations and eating maccas.

She's definitely /ourgirl/ if she is a NEET though

What's going to happen to this general if AMX actually becomes WDC?

the same thing that happened when loowis won his ships.

>>74774199
the Amx-loathing Dutchie will either kill himself, or threaten to kill either Jos or Max and get arrested doing so, or actually kill one of them and get sentenced to a very long time in prison for being a poncecake

What a fucking mess.

Fuck me that's dark

>>74775077
the engine has vibrations that weren't discovered in r&d, basically means the fuel burns very inconsistently

>>74775237
sounds like a chassis problem :^)

>>74775237
I mean during shifts

I wish the teams didn't need to be so frugal with their engines so they could run them up to the full 15,000rpm they're actually allowed to.

>>74775237
wasn't that the same problem they had in 2015, the turbine spinning so fast it caused such intense vibrations that it pulled out all the wires and gave Brittny an orgasm whenever it was in the garage?

Just do what I do and play 'Friday Test Driver' in the racing sims for fun.
