Title: When F1 Drivers Lose Control... As always... NASCAR: *"Hold my beer."*

[@eazypeazy4842]

Were talking about motorsports here not fatty americans turning left for 10 days

[@rakketz5976]

I heard NASCAR drivers drink beer during the races, is that true?

[@973Gear]

@@rakketz5976 What I said *is a saying.* Of course NASCAR drivers *DO NOT* drink alcohol while racing! F1 fights are *NOTHING* compared to fights like NASCAR and American Sports in general.

[@weirdbassementguy]

@@973Gear Thats normal, in F1 you have billionaires and millionaires sons competing in the best vehicles produced by men in an actual racetrack, they might be spoiled but they are all hihgly educated brats. In Nascar you have inbred hillbillys that go around in circles mushing their brains to one side while they sit in their pee. I would be a lot more mad too. 🤣🤣 And the best sport for fights is in Ice hockey wich was developed in Canada, so sit down.

Apology accepted.

[@Robert99909]

I'm also very sorry. Here in Canada we kick our competitions ass, and apologize for it later. Going after your own team and acting like a baby to the media is not the Canadian way at all. He's a spoiled rich boy that never actually learned basic Canadian manners. It's just disgusting

[@Emo9877]

Strong hook or weak marshal? Who knows

[@F-35BLightningII]

@@Emo9877 He did say that the marshal was carried to the hospital in an ambulance because it damaged his jaw. So I'm thinking it was just a strong hook.

[@Marshark50]

@@Emo9877 The marshal wasn't ready for it

[@EdsancarFact]

IIRC it was 1987 during Mexico City Grand Prix's free practice, Ayrton Senna spins his car on what was known as the lake section. His car gets stuck on the grass. The Marshall´s approach him and signal him to turn the wheels to the right in order to get the car more into the grassy area and out of any danger. When they start pushing the car, Senna changes the steering to the left wanting to put the car back on track (the car was out of the Free Practice since it had been touched by the Marshalls). The Marshall once again requests Ayrton to set the steering wheel all to the right, Ayrton does so , but when they start pushing the car, he rotates the steering wheel full to the left to get the car back in track. This scene was repeated a third time. ON the fourth time, the marshall instructs Senna to set the wheels to the right, and when he does so, he gets his hand into the cockpit and holds the steering wheel in position while the car is pushed to a safer position. Once the car stops, Senna gets out of the car and punches the Marshall in the face, before walking back to the pits. Unfortunately It was not captured on video and there could be some stills but I have not seen them. I was on the grandstands just across the road.

[@PedroLucas-kk2yh]

Russel vs Bottas: Ridiculous George.

[@linearlemurthe21st20]

Imagine if f1 had brawls like certain American sports or hockey! I think one reason they don’t have fights is probably bc there’s only 20 of them, so they don’t have that kind of anger, another reason is probably they’d get in bigger trouble bc unlike American sports f1 is kinda ‘posh’ so they’d get in more trouble for fighting. In baseball if you fight you get suspended a couple games, but there’s 162 games in a season so they still fight. That might be another reason, in f1 there isn’t enough races for them to risk missing one. Anybody else got reasons? Maybe they just never have a big enough reason to fight

[@elizabethmulomboi154]

What??😭😭

[@MickPsyphon]

@@elizabethmulomboi154 Irvine's first rave in F1. Senna lapped him at Suzuka; and Irvine took his chance at unlapping himself, when Senna missed a shift. Overall, it was fair play, but Senna's pride was hurt. So, he went after Irvine after the race. Irvine was overjoyed, because it instantly launched him to the forefront of F1 news, that weekend.

[@Robert99909]

Because Senna is F1 Jesus. That's why. 😊

[@MickPsyphon]

@@Robert99909 Sacrilege! Senna was FAR from perfect. He wasn't even as great as many try to make him out to be. The same people who scream bloody murder whenever another driver is aggressive, turn a blind eye to the MANY unsafe and unnecessarily aggressive tactics used by Senna. He's guilty of a long list of offenses against Prost alone.

Esa largada en Bélgica bajo la lluvia , denota los malos pilotos que comenzaban a llevar a la decadencia a la ex Gran categoría mundial . Recuerden GP Brasil 81 ,gana Reutemann, se corrió de la largada hasta el final con un temporal de agua y fue una largada limpia y pocos despistes .

And the fourth reason is that, moments before the 98 Belgian GP started, my sister in law, in an effort to tease me (the only F1 fan the family at the time) said, "I hope they all crash". Mere seconds later she was holding her hand over mouth, and stressing, regretting that what she had said had come true. [Remember, it was a few minutes yet before we able to confirm that the only injury was to Eddie Irvine, who banged his knee against the rim of the cockpit while climing out of what remained of his car.] A real case of 'be carefull what you wish for'.
