  • No, it’s really not. You have the most controversial set of new technical regulations in a long time so the tension is already on. Now you have a cleat best team, a clear second best team, the defending world champion team couldn’t start any car in the second race and a team that can’t finish races. 1-2 and 3-4 are fought out by two team mates each and we can consider ourselves lucky that at least the Ferraris show us some wheel to wheel action, otherwise nothing would happen in the front of the race. Two of the next races have been cancelled for being in an active war zone, leaving a huge gap in the calender. And to top it all off, the most dominant driver of the last 5 years is quite vocal about his discontent with the new rules and cars.

    Mercedes might be happy with being the fastest team once more, but they and all the other teams must know that the current state is not healthy nor sustainable for the Formula 1. And while allowing Aston an exemption wouldn’t magically fix every issue, it would be a hell lot better than seeing them double DNF every race weekend for the next 3 months. So yes, I do truly believe it’s in the best interest of everyone involved in F1














  • I need to know, how that question was phrased, otherwise that 40% number is completly meaningless. The two extremes would be “Do you think a woman has ever lied about domestic and sexual violence?”, or “Do you think all reports by a woman of domestic and sexual violence are a lie?”. In the first case a significant share would answer yes, because a single false claim ever makes that statement correct. The opposite is true for the second phrasing, where a single correct claim makes that statement false. The real phrasing is probably somewhere in between, but even then you could heavily influence the outcome with subtle changes to the phrasing.
