F1 - ferrari / FIA vs lewis

[skinny]

please can all the ferrari fanboys, hamilton devotees, and FIA conspiracists keep their continuous and repeated bickering to one thread (such as this one helpfully provided by myself) so that threads to discuss the race can actually be about... the race?

cheers

Asking for a bit of restraint in other threads and then posting one with a title like that probably wasn't the most sensible thing to do now was it?

What race........? YOu dont honestly belive they actually race anymore, do you?

[mikee boy]

I've heard they've stopped the race this weekend to that the drivers can read what we think about them on PistonHeads. Seems like all the typing might matter outside in the real world after all.

On the other hand.....

I take it you want to keep the main 'race' thread down to 1 page then, I suppose it'll make it easier to read..............

Not possible im afraid. Some people cannot find it within themselves to spend any length of time commenting on the race. Instead they just whine about how unfairly they have been treated and clutch at straws vainly trying to find evidence of other teams getting away with anything at all.

Ah, like Ferrari complaining to the Stewards about every single incident in every single race, then attending Court proceedings with their lawyers in tow, then?

Yes just like that. Except i dont have to weed through 10,000 posts on that subject in order to discuss the racing.

My point is pretty obvious. I would like people to stop doing it. You are one of the culprits IIRC. A number of people seem to just want to talk about the FIA non stop.

And why do you think that is the case?

See you are doing it again, you are trying to talk about those meanies at the FIA, you can'y help yourself. This is surely the point of this thread that people take over the other threads arguing (usually about the FIA) now that is a fair sized dose of irony for you.

you didn't answer my question, though. Why do you think we are talking about the FIA?

This is a perfect demonstration of why the other threads degenerate. I think the discerning of those reading this will understand that perfectly clear.

What is perfectly clear is that you are unwilling to answer a simple question.

Sorry, thought this was meant to be a joke, which is what GM has recently become.

[tossbag]

I am up for promising not to mess up race threads, I have no problem at all with that guys, if the thread is in the usual 'xxx GP with spoilers' format then I will honestly bow out of any FIA stuff and stick to topic from now on, it seems fair enough to me.
Anyone else up for a bit of solidarity on this?
Providing the thread isn't started days and days before the GP that is of course
