Why Grosjean Crash Changed my perspective of F1???

 Why the Grosjean crash changed my prospective on Formula One. Now look it may sound daft or pathetic to think a crash like Grosjean’s could change someone’s views the way they see F1. 

Now I’m not going to talk about necessarily how F1 should progress in safety innovation or talk about how it already has I just want to talk about how seeing that crash changed my prospective of these drivers. Now before the crash I always just backed Seb! And I still am a hardcore Seb Vettel fan no one can change my DNA and no one will change my DNA. But whilst no one can change my DNA and where my loyalties lay however events can change your horizons. They can broaden your horizons. That crash on that day sent a shock wave through my body. If I was there and actually at the track I don’t know if I would of ever returned to see another F1 race again? Ultimately seeing that crash mentally impacted me it made me reconsider stuff that I didn’t consider too much before hand in BLM, WeRaceAsOne and movements like that. Seeing Grosjean walk out alive was a great relief however my mindset from that day forward has been completely utterly changed. I now support Lewis’s end racism message not because I feel forced too but because now having assed myself in wake of the Grosjean incident it would be wrong of me to condone a fellow F1 Driver.


At minimum Lewis Hamilton should command some basic respects and so should all that compete in F1 including and I know people will say nonsense but including Nikitia Mazepin he deserves at least some respect. Whilst I may not like the guy personally but I never will wish him Ill fate. Mazepin commands my respect whilst he’s in the car and racing safely. And yes what he did on Instagram was abhorrent and wrong but ultimately I’m not in a legal position to deem if it’s a crime. Unfortunately that falls down too the state in which the incident occurred. But whether it was wrong or right for him to post what he posted I don’t believe either in cyber bullying. 


I don’t believe we as fans should be judge, jury and executioner. And personally I think everyone who gets into F1 should be given respect. Fans should be given respect. So from that day forward I support what a FormulaOne driver does off and on the track. Yes I’ll condone wrongful behaviour however not to punish but to educate and he deserves a second chance. 


And with Lewis I will stand up for not just what he believes in but what I believe in and with Seb he’ll always be number one no matter what but he’ll equally respected like no other. 


So whilst it was horrible to witness such crash but it was also enlightening to myself to once again live by morals. I now live standing for what I believe not what someone tells me. I once again live a life fighting the burning injustices and moreover than before live a life fighting because it’s right and not because it’s easy.

F1 2024 Game Review! Another epic failure by EA/Codemasters

Image
Why F1 2024 Is Not Worth Your Money – A Review When EA bought Codemasters, many fans, myself included, approached it with cautious optimism. Sure, there were sceptics, but there was hope that EA’s resources could elevate the F1 franchise. Unfortunately, even optimism has its limits, and for me—and many others—that breaking point has arrived. Ironically, this feels fitting given the “Breaking Point” story mode introduced in EA’s first F1 game, F1 2021 . Back in 2021, I rated F1 21 13.5 points out of 30 in my grading system, which ranges from A-F. Today, I’m going to put F1 2024 under the same scrutiny and explain why it simply isn’t worth parting with £50 or more of your hard-earned money. Scoring System  A** 25-30 B** 20-24 C** 15-19 D** 10-14 E** 5-9 C** 0-4 Career Mode: 2 out of 5 While there’s been a slight improvement in career mode this year, it’s far from revolutionary. As F1 YouTuber Tom97 pointed out, the career mode feels lifeless after just two seasons. You get ...

Should F1 change it’s RedFlag rules??

Image
So question I want to look at today is should F1 change the RedFlag rules??? Now within the last 12 months the been 6 RedFlags! Now that is abnormally high considering how many red flags where thrown between 2015 to end of 2019 which was only 5!  So within the last 12 months we’ve seen as many RedFlags as we’ve seen across years of 5 seasons! So is it time for a change? Under the current rules it allows teams to change tyres, to change wings and damaged body parts like for like. It also under the current rules in enables drivers who are a lap down during races to come back onto the leaders lap. Now personally I think this is a rather unfair situation. Because ultimately put it this way your not allowed to leave the track and gain a advantage yet your allowed to repair a damage car or gain back significant time under one of these safety cars!  Also if you repaired a car during parc ferme you’d have to start your race from the pit lane. In my opinion the current set of rules are...

RIP 🪦 NIki Lauda 1949-2019!

Image
Niki, good old Niki! It’s already been two years since his passing it’s mad that the first time we come back to Monaco is two years past Lauda death.  Niki is a legend of F1, I talked in my last blog about F1 not having GOATS but a hall of fame and this is true but I think the is also a very good argument Lauda could be the best of all time!  What NIki achieved in F1 career when you look at it is simply unimaginable. He’s technically the only para athlete  F1 driver to ever win a championship! And not just one but two.  After his horrendous crash at the Nurburgring in 1976 I believe it would of simply been amazing if he’d of ever got back into a F1 car to complete maybe one parade lap like what Romain Grosjean is going to get the opportunity in a months time at the FrenchGP let alone to still compete at the top of his game. What Lauda showed no matter what never give up he in a way defines in my opinion that sporting spirit. He set the bar for champions that came aft...
