They have imposed new rules in regards to things such as cost caps and mechanical damages and grid penalties and pit stops and he is speaking out about what he feels is unfair for all teams. The headlines come from a reporter questioning him on it. It looks bad PR but in reality I do feel that he ultimately has more spatial awareness and intelligence in certain areas than the entire FIA combined and their committees keep ruling that he loses even if he follows their own procedures.
Also, I was thinking about this the other day, although it is a bit conspiratorial. How easy would it be for Mercedes to pay a Red Bull mechanic to forget a new button imposed by the FIA half way through the season and vice versa... or how easy would it be for a third party to interfere with its functioning.Last edited by Average Sim Racer; 18th September 2021 at 00:02.

You are sounding a bit like Bagwan dude... with your conspiracy theory... except he wouldn't agree with you as he reckons Merc are just sandbagging for effect and will still go on to take both titles... hey he could well be right, there is a microscopic possibilty of that being the case, I just don't see it as being very likely... or yours, no offence.
I don't think any team member in their right mind could be bought by a rival team and I dont think any team would try it because if rumbled/grassed on, the financial implications of being booted out of the championship for a year and multi million dollar fine... as well as having the cheat label destroy the brand... just makes it non financially viable. Nor could I see Merc trying to pull a stunt like that tbh.

I don't think it is likely either. Hence, I feel what Horner explained was the truth and the headline twisted it. But not for the reasons you listed as there have been many weird in team cheating attempts that never made sense if they were caught and penalised to the full extent.

What are you saying? Are you saying Verstappen is right to crash into Hamilton. Because that is what we are talking about. Do you think he could have avoided that crash but was a good idea to crash into Hamilton? Was it ok that he nearly killed Hamilton?
If you remove Hamilton from the picture and say it was another driver in the car fighting him for the championship, would your answers not be the same?
If your answers to these questions are yes, then you are the one with a problem; an Anti-Hamilton problem. As my views would be the same regardless of the driver in the Mercedes.Better a witty fool than a foolish wit.

Horner cannot see the truth if it smacked him in the face. The crash bills are beginning to hurt Redbull and as usual, he points an angry finger at the FIA and F1M. It is ridiculous to even suggest that Mercedes was responsible in some way for the poor pitstop of Redbull. It is offensive to Mercedes to make such a suggestion. I think you should think carefully before you post.

Turned out to be an interesting race. Glad I decided to watch it. Too bad Logan went out. At least it was from racing hard and not his own mistake.
