Since this thread is still alive I will throw my worthless 2 cents in. Did anybody else watch the last Formula 1 race? The series champion (you know who) pushed Albon who was headed for the podium, a newbie, out of his way because he wanted that podium position. It was clear it was not just racing. The Champ did not want the PEON holding him up so he took care of him by wrecking him in the final laps. The Formula 1 stewards added a 5 second penalty to the Champ, after the race, and he lost his podium finish. That is a real sanctioning body doing the right thing in my opinion.
The similarities are obvious to me, little guys get out of my F***king way. I have more money than you so don't challenge me fairly.
How did NHRA handle the rules violation? The actions after that 1st round were un-believable. what were the end results? NADA.
I pretty much only watch Formula 1 and NHRA any more. NHRA because I have been a drag racer most of my life and still am.
