@sportbible It’s moments like these where football, and rivalries in particular mean nothing. He is a human and it’s really great to see fans of such a big rivalry acting humanely with an incredible gesture. It would be great to see the whole stadium celebrating if he scores

@ashleyy_oox Im a student myself, but please guys stop asking for fees to be cancelled. That argument falls at the first hurdle. A reduction in fees due to the lesser quality of education as a chance of passing. 0 fees for what will still give you a degree has no chance.

@fiagirly Not being funny but in a cost cap, merc have spent money developing that part after the FIA APPROVED it. Now they’ve changed their mind and merc have to spend more money to fix it. But yeah cool let’s just negotiate a penalty with cheaters. I actually hate the state of this sport

@formularacers_ “Test items” doesn’t specify set up. They often ran at different ends of the spectrum to find out where the better performance was. Merc admitted they ran “more extreme” set ups on lewis’ car. Having equally run “test items” doesn’t paint the full picture.

@AceZoomStyle5 For context, overtaking under SC is historically 10s pen but in instances like Kmag in 2018, the stewards applied discretion for its brief nature and reduced the pen to 5s. So max fans can argue about it’s brief nature all they want, precedent shows he should have been penalised
