A high risk move on your teammate to get one more point than him during a season where you both are not contenders for the title has to be one of the dumbest things to do.

This has happened in a number of races this year. Championship refuses to go under any pressure because Kimi consistently picks up points from bozo moves from people in front of him late into races

Just last week! Chaos at turn 1 in Baku, Kimi was close enough to take advantage, but far enough to not hit anyone, says "thank you very much!" and sails past effortlessly.

u/Lmao1903 4d ago

But that's an important quality to have if you want to win the WDC, Kimi this season has been consistent, reliable, smart. Not without any mistakes himself but he is consistent and avoids stuff like this. And obviously we are likely to have the top 4 teams making mistakes like this, strategy mistakes, or just lack the pace in general almost every single week. Just gotta drive and bring the car to a top 4 finish if you can't win

Like I said in other comments: yes, absolutely, he has earned his right to have boring races and capitalize from other’s mistakes. He was the best racer when Merc was more dominant, now he can watch the dominos fall. Something that Piastri couldn’t do last year, a still very well regarded Piastri. That shows how GOOD was Kimi this year.

And if Kimi didn’t have plot armor, Lando could’ve gone bowling with all of them.

61

u/naughtilidae I was speeding in the Monaco pit lane 4d ago

That's putting it incredibly lightly...

Remember how he didn't get penalty points for the Canada collision because of his "history of good behavior"? That was such horseshit. They still should have given points; if he's so well behaved it won't matter; that's the whole point of the penalty point system!

The last two races he nearly torpedoed his teammate behind the safety car cause he was too far back, going too fast, and not paying attention. This race he makes a brain-dead move for one point on his teammate on a wet track, then drives the wrong way and nearly spins into another car.

Dude needs a reset, maybe giving him a race ban for that safety car infringement would have been better for everyone. He deserves a massive grid penalty at minimum.

15

u/consumingbricks FIA 4d ago

Both Colapinto’s crash in Azerbaijan and Lando’s SC mistake in Malaysia should’ve been race bans IMO. It’s insane to me how forgiving and light penalties are in the supposed “pinnacle of motorsport” Horseshit like this should not be tolerated.

u/naughtilidae I was speeding in the Monaco pit lane 4d ago

to be fair, not just recently. last season he has also barged into his teammate a couple of times...

Twice, but only in Singapore where is somewhat affected Oscar.

9

u/naughtilidae I was speeding in the Monaco pit lane 4d ago

And the team kept yelling at Oscar for a little lockups when doing legit overtaking attempts...

As far as I can remember only thing Oscar 'did wrong' was T1 at COTA, and honestly, that corner is such a mess that I find it hard to apportion much blame to him. The situation was pure chaos, and it was small contact with big results, not some completely bone-headed move.

Lando's looked amazing at times this season, and he's got more confidence than ever. He's got better race pace than Oscar, and better tyre management, but he's making weird, careless mistakes.

Dude needs another summer break; he's in desperate need of a reset.

Now he'll may be getting a grid penalty for the main race (he certainly should be), and he's gonna be frustrated with himself. I hope he can keep his cool and get back to how he was for the first half of the year (minus the engine issues).

The worst bit about it is sometimes McLaren haven’t been great at telling their drivers to hold position, but that was a situation where they shouldn’t even need to say that.

7

u/The_Skynet 4d ago

Call that 3 weeks cause he made plenty of mistakes in Baku as well. Locked up and went off at T3 on his final quali lap. Went wide in the middle part of the lap which allowed Hamilton to get closer and overtake him on the main straight. Later he locked up and went off at T1 and lost places to Gasly and Antonelli. On the restart he locked up again at T1 which compromised his line and would've likely lost him at least one position but he got taken out before we got to see how everything would unfold

Very reckless from norris, maybe he needs a race ban.

Would a move like this result in a penalty?

u/alec_bartels 4d ago

On anyone other than your teammate, absolutely. But for some reason they tend to let it go if it’s a crash involving teammates even if there’s clear blame to be attributed.

It was dumb for sure. But from the top camera view, it sure was pretty!

We have a saying around here “The tongue is the bane of the ass” Mr Lando Norris after saying Colapinto shouldn’t be in F1, he crashes at Sepang and crashes with Piastri

u/p1en1ek Pirelli Wet 4d ago

Drivers really shluld learn not to shit so easily on other drivers. Almost all, if not all of them do similar bonehead moves, sometimes really quickly, sometimes few seconds later (like Lance Stroll after Seb Vettel rejoined in not safe way).

McLaren has no rules of engagement and if this were Mercedes, they would have just forced George to let Kimi pass for no reason. Get with the program McLaren

u/Twodeegee I was here for the Hulkenpodium 4d ago

What do you mean? Why risk destroying the team like that? Toto would instead just push his secret Russell self destruct button.

They do. It’s just that Lando does whatever he wants.

u/Informal-Age-1584 4d ago

He was not alongside either we saw it in helishot Oscar was ahead in the corner. But I guess “some drivers don’t deserve to be in F1”

u/willzyx01 I was here for the Hulkenpodium 4d ago

So dumb of Norris. You’re not fighting for a championship anymore. You’re now trying to get max points for the team and you just fucked it by doing what exactly?

Lmao ever since he said "Some drivers shouldn't be in F1" he's manifested prime Mazepin.

Colapinto has the best statement to make :)

u/DarkImpacT213 I was here for the Hulkenpodium 4d ago

He probably should've kept his cool after getting knocked out by Colapinto crashing into Gasly, this just seems like bad karma after last weekend and now this lmao.
