section Primus??
Unfortunately l missed most of the delayed transmission due to not putting my clocks forward?
But what l saw mystified me at first as it seemed Max had been
leading Lewis and was drawing away and then suddenly he slowed
down,( seemingly for no reason) and allowed Lewis to pass and then
take the win?
apparently this was a race control imposed penalty for passing
Lewis earlier by going off track to complete the pass?
So far this was a completely deserved penalty !
However the controversy seems to come the fact that RC had earlier
ruled that it was ok for drivers to exceede track limits on one of the
corners and Lewis used this ruling to his advantage more than
20 times during the race, whereas Max did not use it at all untill
RBull twigged what Lewis was doing And told Max to do the same !
And at the same time complained to RC who then told Lewis to
stop doing it,( which he did)
By then Max had started to exceed the limits on that particular
corner so when RC stopped Lewis doing it, they then had to stop
Max from doing it again ? so only got 4 laps advantage from going
over the edge so to speak?
To me this means that RBull did not take advantage of the earlier
ruling allowing all drivers to exceed the limits on this particular
corner ??
But the controversy comes in because RC changed the ruling
AFTER the race had started ??
Hope l made sense,. what do you think ??
Donkeyman! 👍🤔🤔👍
PS. I still prefer Moto GP Brilliant race this week end!!
