@FOmelettes@F1Tami he would, as he moved out of the initial traction phase and onto the straight, loose momentum compared to the likes of Piastri, who would have stayed in a higher gear throughout the corner, and would therefore be able to maintain that speed better down the ensuing straight.
@FOmelettes@F1Tami Due to his much tighter angle through the corner, Norris would have had a much slower minimum speed, which would necessitate him being in a lower gear. Though this would give him a good initial drive off the corner, but as you loose momentum with every gear change (1),
@F1Tami With this meaning that he was accelerating in a near-completely straight line, which in turn means that the tyres had more grip available for traction, allowing him to get on the throttle earlier, and more aggressively, therefore leading it him getting a better exit. (3)
@Looooomaaaa@R0thmansEra As I mentioned previously, the problem is entirely centred around the closing speeds being so immense at sections of the tracks that overtaking never really occurs at, rather than the fault of any specific drivers.
@Looooomaaaa@R0thmansEra I believe that the difference in speeds is vastly different between the two. Russell had a deployment problem, and was passed well before the corner, so moved out the way. Colapinto was still very much racing Bearman, and moved to defend his position as such
@Looooomaaaa@R0thmansEra This of course wouldn’t normally be an issue, but with the closing speeds involved, it meant that there was no time for Bearman to see the gap wouldn’t exist when he got there, and slow down / move to avoid it.
@Looooomaaaa@R0thmansEra The way I see it, Colapinto is naturally going to to move to the left to defend his position into the spoon curve, which means that he runs towards the outside of the track on the exit of the slight right turn, which is the gap that Bearman was hoping would be open.
@Looooomaaaa@R0thmansEra While that may seem reasonable, these are racing drivers, and will go to great extents to defend their position. If I’m in Bearman’s shoes, I probably won’t chuck my car into a gap that will naturally close due to the nature of the track, but I don’t fault him for doing it.
What I find annoying about this decision is if Red Bull make a car that both drivers can drive well next season, then people and going to assume Yuki was bad, even though he wasn’t, and if they don’t, it’s going to end Hadjar’s career before it has even begun properly
McLaren should fight him tooth and nail to appeal this, if they actually care about ensuring the best result for both their drivers, as I feel they would have a very strong case to show it was either a racing incident, or on Antonelli for turning in.
That penalty for Piastri was entirely ridiculous. He was on the apex, and in control of the car, and was not left a cars width. The only way he avoids the crash is by not going for the overtake in the first place, which is ridiculous to expect of a racing driver.
@PhilReed77@nypost the “baby” is a clump of cells lacking organs, limbs, a nervous system, and even the sex chromosomes are limited to female (xx) until roughly 8 weeks, from which point there is a chance that the foetus develops a Y chromosome. (5)
@PhilReed77@nypost Due to this, what philosophical reasoning would you give for giving the embryo the same rights as a sentient, living human, despite the fact that, for the first couple of weeks, (4)
