Could that not be down to a combination of the wrong setup mentioned by Verstappen plus the very wet conditions, which was why the car was not an easy car and was difficult in the race, rather than just the car itself that's not easy? |

Location checks out.
We’ve gone so far up our own backsides here do you think we can rescue the thread? |

What has that got to do with the Turkish Grand Prix 2020, Round 14 of the 2020 championship? |

If we try hard enough we'll forget about Maxes masterclass.

I have enjoyed this thread, in some ways it’s been just as entertaining and strange as the GP

We can try, but eventually we get to why bother.
Let’s recap what has happened here. We had a stonkingly good Grand Prix. Several drivers put in great drives and it was a joy to watch. A couple had shockers. There was a suggestion that Verstappen had a poor race and showed some immaturity. This is a discussion forum and this is allowed. There was some good debate on this and some humor (the bin photo). He’s done a lot of races, but it still young. It may cause him problems, but he is still top draw talent. That kind of thing. Really don’t see a problem. However we then end up with a fan boy dragging up old articles on other drivers to prove something, others showing a masterclass on going too extreme on questioning Max’s ability. It basically turned it into a children who have access to the internet bickering. :handbags: And then to cap it off we get an accusation of troll (although this is probably the funniest post in the thread), someone who posted an article from January about lockdowns (!), oh and, of course, we’ve had the suggestion of censorship because you’re not allowed to critise in this current climate. And in the end we had a closed thread. Of which, no doubt, you can fit a reason behind that matches your agenda. But the real reason is that it is tedious and pathetic. We’ve been here before where people can’t let something go and it ruins many threads. In the end there was one was to deal with it. P.S. Reading some of my posts, I shall try to be a little less jokey and put in when I am. Last edited by Adam43; 18 Nov 2020 at 13:38. |
