For serious, though, I pointed out after Austin last year that cutting across the entire track at the first turn of the first lap is awful racecraft from Sainz, and got shouted down by Russell-haters.

Are we checking? This is a place to take a p*ss out of motorsports.
F1 is not the only motorsport in the world, so go ahead and post your shitposts about WEC or MotoGP or IndyCar or ralley or Polish Speedway or whatever. Even Formula E, I guess. It needs some love, too.
By the way, F2 > F1.
Rules? What rules? Stop inventing. Just don't be a douche. Lemmy.world's sporting conduct applies.

I do agree with that, I never understood why Russell got so much hate for that incident. Maybe people see something different in it, idk.
At least here in Spa Carlos was trying to avoid Hamilton who was also cutting it a bit too close, but that's the nature of that stupid turn that's deadly on starts. It's still not cool to slam someone against the wall, that just can't end well either way.
Btw I'm also thinking about how he spun out Alonso in Australia.
