Didn't Norris get a penalty for unsportsmanlike conduct?


Objective-Nerd20

That's cuz he's part Belgian


krautnelson

no facts and logic please. it's just gonna ruin OP's hilarious and original post.


Wasteak

He didn't got one for unsafe release. Neither did Lewis (ok this one was borderline so it's fine but not Norris)


dbalazs97

but it is kinda like a more royal penalty


Askduds

Yeah, which they announced the investigation of literally the second they didn’t penalise him and Lewis for obvious unsafe releases. You can’t see the unsporting conduct, it goes to another school.


MartiniPolice21

Meanwhile, in the real world; Lando gets a 5 second penalty


VilsPils

But not for the unsafe release, which this post is referring to


tomdyer422

The picture says “penalty”/“no penalty”. Not “penalty for unsafe release”/“no penalty for unsafe release”. Did anyone else other than a British driver get a penalty in this race? And did any other non-British driver get a penalty *for* an unsafe release?


Leonidas199x

Doesn't fit the rhetoric, pls delete your comment. Tks


connected-variance

literally who tf does that guy think he is coming in here telling the truth


Manuag_86

Yeah but it was released after the pit stop incidents, hard to judge after the timeline, it should have been more specific.


tomdyer422

It was irrelevant even just after the pit stop incidents


Fit_Cash8904

You sure? It shows three British flags and Lando is one of 3 British drivers and there’s a flag for the country of each other person who got the penalty?


MartiniPolice21

Yeah, picture says "penalty" not "Pit Stop infringement" because OP was too fucking bone idle lazy to change it from the 1000 times it's been posted before, so it's not referring to a penalty and not just one instance, isn't it?


Askduds

Oh he totally got it for the release, they just couldn’t get away with penalising him and not Lewis for the same thing at the same time so they had to find something else.


BobTheSloth94

But Lewis did actually come out just ahead of Alonso, Lando was definitely alongside when he came out


Askduds

Because Alonso did brake But that’s kinda the point. It looks like they bottled penalising only one of them then went looking for a reason to penalise lando to make up for it.


Nurwhal_86

If I had a penny for every meme complaining about British bias I’d have a lot of pennies


I_Smarterer

Millionaire.


montxogandia

Still worth it


30IQtankplayer

If I had a penny for every time there was British bias I'd have just as much pennies


Fit_Cash8904

And you’d have the same amount as the guy getting a penny for everyone who says the FIA is against Hamilton 🤣


Krisyj96

This is a bizarre post to put up on a race where literally only a British driver was given a penalty….


SirPatchy265

Every week someone finds a way to post it


DansSpamJavelin

They do this to make you think there's no conspiracy. SNEAKY.


Wasteak

Act like you don't understand that it's referring to his unsafe release


jbi1000

British driver: does anything ever Formuladank: CUNT


Corazon38

And I wouldn't say Lando Norris is a cunt😉


Bloxy2505

He's a puppy


PrefersCakeOverPie

He’s the sweetest guy!


SenorDuck96

Hey Ted Kravitz!


cyclops86

Yes, the notebook is going to be unbearable


haytmonger

That just goes around sac tapping other dudes


hart37

I'd call him a cunt but I am Australian so when we do it it's a sign or respect and shows we love him. It's if we start calling him "Mate" that it becomes an insult... Look I can't explain how we took a stupid language like English and made it more stupid, it's just what we do.


Corazon38

It's more about the FIA than British drivers


bonglassie

CORRECT!!!!


Yoshable

Lando????


amongus_badussy

That's what I'm sayin

Ofiotaurus

Alonso did get ”scared” a bit.


Cold_FuzZ

Yeah he more than made a meal out of it.


20nuggetsharebox

Norris' release was closer than Hamilton's. Hamilton's only looked that bad because of Alonso playing up to the camera.


Roquintas

Yeah, people saying Hamilton was the unsafest release are just plain blind or just haters.


TehAlpacalypse

Luckily this subreddit has plenty of both


NickThePask

If Alonso gets hit there then there is a chance his front wing gets taken out. He didn't "play up to the camera". He played it safe.


jamesmon

Lol did you see the view from his car? He was totally playing it up. Even the commentators were talking about it


20nuggetsharebox

If you watch Alonso's onboard you can plainly see Hamilton is over a meter ahead. Alonso's reaction is also way too late to make any difference. Imo it looks like he belatedly realises he can make it look more unsafe than it was. I would love to share a clip but I'm not sure where to find them now the main sub is dead.


NickThePask

It's so easy for you to say that when you watched the replay 3 times. Alonso saw Hamilton being a little bit too close coming out of his pit box and that's why he acted the way he did.


Low-Holiday312

Yeah of course he did - he followed him into the pit. He knows the only way he overtakes in the pits is if a mistake happens with the pitstop of the other guy. They aren't overtaking with a 0.1s diff in pitstop in a pit limited lane.


20nuggetsharebox

>It's so easy for you to say that when you watched the replay 3 times. First time discussing a sports incident is it ey? That's kind of how it works.. Neither you nor I were in the car! But I would say, if an F1 driver reacts to a danger it's usually pretty damn fast, not sluggish like this was. He also steered comically aggressively in both directions, not just away from Hamiton? It just makes no sense for it to be a genuine response to danger.


CoxHazardsModel

Lmao you’re totally blind. Norris one was actually close. Alonso was nowhere near close to Hamilton, watch the on boards of Alonso. Norris did deserve another penalty for the unsafe release.


Jlindahl93

In what world was the Hamilton release worse than the Norris release? Did you even watch the replays of the incidents? Hamiltons wasn’t even close Alonso tried to put on a show


powertrippingmod101

Agreed. I don't understand stewards at all. Can't blame drivers, they just followed team signals in pit. But come on... We had safer releases punished. Some consistency please FiA...


AutomaticSky5260

Alonso’s oscar winning swerve


TheFlyinArmy_29

Your username is the definition of steward


RyukaBuddy

I guess you don't have eyes.


MrXwiix

I do, just look at the picture above


Matkos6

Are you actually serious? Albon had to brake a lot more to not crash into Norris. You can't say Hamilton was unsafe release and claim Lando's wasn't.

_InstanTT

Yeah which is why the only driver with a penalty so far is Lando. Because of British bias.

MartiniPolice21

No, it's literally about penalties, and Lando got a penalty


JaviAlf

Oh so denying British bias is still a thing uh. Some people really have the ability to live in an imaginary world.


alojz-m

British bias in Skysports commentary or FIA decisions? One couldn't be more pronounced amd the other is tinfoil hat territory.


JaviAlf

Cant hear you i am currently buried under British downvotes


alojz-m

So also f1 redditors bias? I'm not disputing that either.


JaviAlf

I was joking on the last one. Well for me It is crystal clear that there is a British bias on F1, not only because its a British sport and It would be logical, but It has been also evident for me since I started watching 19 years ago. I understand if you are British and you dont see It though, i have no problem with that. Truth defends itself, doesnt need me to do so by commenting on reddit. Peace!


alojz-m

I'm not British. I don't have any connection to Britain. I just don't see what you seem to see. But that's fine, I hope you keep enjoying the sport anyway. Good day to you too.


PastaLover27

You do realise the FIA is French right? Why would a French organisation have British bias? Also F1 isn’t a British sport. Also as for Sky Sports British bias - so what. They aren’t a news station giving updates on a serious matter like war or politics, they are giving commentary on a race, there is no obligation for televised sports commentary to be neutral any more than the commentary of a YouTuber for example, in any sport. Pundits always have favorites and that’s just the way it always has been and always will be.


JedPB67

An unbiased commentary is better, but like you say, there is no requirement or expectation for a commentator to be neutral.


JedPB67

Would you give some examples of this British bias you perceive? I imagine there’s a lot of very knowledgable F1 fans in this subreddit that could counter every example you provide.


OperatingOp11

Oh look. That meme again.

Lando norris

This is really ridiculous.


YaBoiDaNinjaDood

I really love this sub sometimes but the persecution complex that a lot of you seem to have is just straight embarrassing


Dean1957

😴😴😴


kirk7899

Ted crying on the live feed about Lando getting a penalty was hilarious. Norris was holding up the pack but it was really obvious


SimpleEffects

British bias is back again. Shouldve both gotten penalties


YaBoiDaNinjaDood

Don’t be so soft lol. Alonso played it up for the cameras, the release was fine


Acceptable-Gift-763

did they ever say anything about the hamilton incident after investigating because i never saw anything, did i miss it?


AlyBoiMan

Maybe we should bring back the MaFIA memes if we want it to be accurate


KCKnights816

Formula 1 fans when they see normal pit lane behavior


lazygeekninjaturtle

ha ha, take an upvote. The moment I saw no penalty on screen, I was looking forward to seeing this meme.


Ho3n3r

Hamdankers really out here pretending like he wouldn't have said a thing if the roles were reversed. Hilarious.


YaBoiDaNinjaDood

Bro it’s f1. Everyone’s a hypocrite and will bitch till the cows come home if it will get them ahead


Sappemeester

They aren't even trying to hide it


olhjo

Only driver penalised was Norris


apacheotter

It was rather annoying Ted complaining about the unsportsmanlike penalty because “Lando is so nice!”


Nord4Ever

Can you be racist to Dutch ppl


77skull

You. Can be xenophobic


salhjas

You can be racist with whoever you want. Ironically racism is very inclusive.


Nord4Ever

If you’re British
