I've changed my mind, there were no Team Orders in Hungary, Massa's just a stupid useless tit and slowed down because he got all in a panic.



What? It's about as feasible as McLaren getting away with disadvantaging Button, and that's (inexplicably) being accepted as fact by a lot of you for...No reason.


I just don't understand any of this, and that's given that I've worked out that Hungary should be Germany.
Can I have some of whatever you were drinking when you wrote this?

No no, I wrote Hungary for a reason. It was supposed to be nonsense. Maybe I should have picked a race that hadn't happened yet to be clearer.

Ahh, now that's cleared it all up!
And, you succeeded, it was nonsense. (joke mate - take it easy and bon soir from me)

To jensonb, it's like you had a conversation with yourself in that post...the gap in the middle with the 'What?' preceding after. :hehe: I like posts like that, makes me think about what's happening with the author. :hehe:

Haha, yeah it's one of my favourite types of written humour. I do it all the time on my Twitter feed :thumbup:

Indeed; doesn't matter what colours a member decides to wear, accusing a member of being blinded by any team colours is unfair. I find spankyham to be very knowledgeable and does his research before posting a considered response. Peng; if you don't have a valid counter argument, keep your fingers away from the keyboard; saying someone is blinded by red is tantamount to personal insult which is not allowed on this forum, as my mother used to say "if you have nothing nice to say... say nothing at all!".
.

Some members on this forum do it every other post especially towards anyone who actually likes Hamilton so i really don't get why you singled me out, Also i wouldn't consider it an insult it was more a fact that he was ignoring my posts because he clearly couldn't accept what was being written.

However what i actually was referring to by the words "blinded by red" was that his dislike for Hamilton and maybe even Button is making him refuse anything i post straight out without reading it properly, maybe i am wrong and he doesn't hate those drivers but every post i have ever seen him make is in a way belittling their achievements or abilities.

What counter argument could i give to someone who wouldn't read my posts but just replied with the same thing over and over? I asked if he could give a link to where it stated the WMSC accepted Turkey as an incident of team orders and even when a link was provided it still doesn't state the Turkey incident was accepted so i wouldn't say his "research" is that accurate.

He has written 1 post i would consider knowledgeable and well thought out which ended in a hugely biased conclusion for his favourite driver ignoring half the facts he himself wrote, Maybe he is an awesome guy i just think he gives too may facts that are actually his personal opinion and he ignores facts because they don't fit with his biased views.

In my eyes and i am hoping most peoples the overtakes in Turkey were actual racing and not 1 driver conceding a position for the other, the radio message could be seen 20 different ways if given to a conspiracy theorist but i already accepted that it could have quite easily been a team order.
But again even if the radio message was a team order at no time was the order actually followed and it resulted in an intense battle for 1st place.

As i have said before it is obvious teams use team orders anyone denying that is just stupid, and i would accept team orders that interfere with the result of a race if the teams wanted it even if i did feel it would ruin the sport and take a big chunk of competition away from winning the WDC.
I did want Ferrari to get a bigger punishment more because they broke a rule and ruined the Germany GP than because of team orders, but wasn't bothered when they got off with nothing.

So it isn't like i am against team orders and if they had happened in Turkey i wouldn't have even had this discussion but to me if you think the Button Hamilton Turkey incident at any point had team orders that were actually acted upon by the drivers, than i wonder if in your eyes have there ever been any overtakes by team mates or have they all been team orders?

Peng, I agree there are other members who get away with the same sort of insult you threw up to me, and to be honest, it really doesn't bother me, I've heard far worse. My feeling in general is that when someone attacks me personally, they are pretty much acknowledging they have lost. And, to be fair to the Moddys, it's pretty much impossible to read and pick up every comment and nuance.

You made some pretty sweeping accusations against me, that I hadn't read your posts etc. I did go and read our exchanges again and I feel I have been quite methodical and responded point by point.

If you want to continue the discussion on its merits, then I'm happy to respond. If you think I haven't responded to a particular item, tell me and I will try and clear it up. If you think I have not provided an adequate source, let me know and I will likewise try and clarify.

If you want to discount anything I post because you're going to accuse me of being anti-Jenson or anti-Lewis or anti-anything else, then I'm sorry, but that sort of accusation will neither stop me posting facts or articles about them that are interesting and relevant.

If you want attack me on personal level then I wont respond and I won't loose any sleep over it either.

Geez, read the WMSC decision (for which the link was provided) and try to understand its meaning and you'll see that 1) Turkey was referenced by Ferrari in their defense and 2) the WMSC acknowledged that example in their summation that team orders have been given in the past w/o punishment. :banghead:

The WMSC most certainly did not acknowledge ANY examples in particular in their summation. Only that:

"The Judging Body of the WMSC did however consider there were many examples of what could have been said to be team orders in Formula One in recent years, and therefore there has been inconsistency in it's application."

Yeah, in driect reference to that, specific examples aren't really the point (although probably are in this thread).

Direct answers were the point i asked him to provide a link showing the WMSC accepted the Turkey incident as a team order and to me that doesn't prove anything except that similar team orders have been used in recent years.
At no point does it specifically refer to Turkey which is what Spanky had claimed several times in several threads.

The whole argument went too far anyway i read some of his earlier posts and thought we could have a decent discussion and after a few posts realized what type of person he really is and instead of just dropping it and ignoring him i played right into his troll and probably made myself look like a tool in the process.
Not really bothered since i have never been and probably never will be a writer or have a degree in punctuation/grammar or the english language which means half of what i mean gets lost in translation so to speak.

I got nothing against Ferrari, Red bull, Vettel, Alonso supporters even if i dislike those drivers and to an extent those teams, if the fans can be open minded even with a bias towards their team they are fine with me.
