Discussion of Formula One racing

Mika crying again.

I see MH is complaining that MS was weaving at the start of the Monza GP?
What crap, having RB beside him, this has got to be straightest I have ever
seen the pole sitter move off the start line. Compared to the start where DC
first crossed in front of MS who was on his right, and then pushed him left
into Fisi, this has got to be hypocracy in the extreme.

            If you look at the race again, when entering the first chicane,
            you can see Michael clearly changing his line twice in blocking
            Hakkinen. But it’s another story if that had anything to do with
            the outcome of the race. Michael was quicker and earned his
            victory.

    Bullshit. In H-heim DC changed his line once and pushed MS nowhere. (How can
    you push someone to the left when you’re coming from the left?) MS got a
    taste of his own medicine – what DC did was the same MS did several times.

    Gentlemen, let’s keep our discussions friendly please. I think this
    thread is best laid to rest – at least under it’s current, somewhat
    intemperate header. Both views have been clearly expressed. I don’t
    see any reason for it to become ‘tit for tat’.

    Easy, at the start DC was left on pole, MS on his right, as they pulled off, DC cut
    in front of MS, MS went left to try pass DC on the left, DC then went left as well,
    whilst MS was already starting to pass (ie MS’s front wheels were already
    passed some part of DC’s car, so MS was also forced to go left. Fisi who was also
    trying to pass MS had no where to go and they colided. It could be argued that DC
    went left to take the racing line into the corner and he was entitled to do this as the
    guy in front.

    My point is simply that in this instance, the weaving was far more pronounced
    than MS protecting the entrance into the first corner at Monza, and that MS is
    singled out for doing this, when other drivers are not. It is either allowable or not,
    and as MH had no problem with DC’s actions in this instance, he should have
    no problems with MS’s at Monza.which were much tamer.

    There is also massive hypocracy in those who feel MS had to brake and make
    contact with DC (on the grounds he was allowed to move left onto the
    racing line) but those same people have no problem with Fisi having not done
    exactly this. If MS had made contact with DC, everyone would blaming him,
    therefor Fisi should be blamed for no ensuring the same. MS has certainly erred
    in the past, but this is no grounds for applying a different set of rules to him.

    He initially moved right as a block and then left again at the entrance
    to a right hand bend onto the racing line. I don’t see the point in
    debating if these actions are considered weaving or not. Clearly
    the track officials have not see transgressions. What I am objecting
    to, is the common feeling amongst many that when MS does this,
    it is not acceptable, but when DC does this, it is simply good
    aggressive driving. It is either always wrong or always acceptable.
