Same as the constant bitching about track limits.

I actually suspect that's because if you abused them in the past, you likely collided with a wall, whereas now (since track limits are often painted lines) you can actually get an advantage because of the increased run off area that has been added bc muh safety

Apparently Alonso's brake problem today was caused by a visor tear-off getting into the brake duct.

I noticed the same.
It's a lot like the shit-tier commentary we have in local Aust series.
It reminds me of some advice I heard once about making a YouTube video (not that I make them), in that if you first word is "Um", you've failed as a video maker.
And if you're reaction to an incident as a motorsport commentator is to "ohhh" or "ahhh", instead of actually communicating what's happening with words, then you've failed as a commentator.

F1 didn't invent the HANS device (it was invented much earlier than Senna's death) and it only got mandatory in 2003.
Before that the FIA were trying out some airbag project instead.

Where did he say that F1 invented HANS?
also, what the fuck? Airbags in a racing car? An open wheeler no less?
They should just turn it into bumper cars then, so people can make retard moves like verstappen at Monaco, or takagi's crash with Luca badoer, without any risk and it'll be even more of a shitshow.

It just sounded a bit like he was implying. Blame my 2am autism.
I just re-checked and in fact it was Mercedes Benz themselves who started developing an airbag system for F1 cars.
They joined a meeting between Charlie Whiting and Hubbard Downing Inc (the company who made HANS) and started a partnership to make a HANS device small enough to fit in an F1 car.
They got an old crash tested HANS device from Hubbard and tested it against their air bag and it proved to be as good and so they abandoned the air bag in 1998.

I would say predictably so. Pretensioners work just about as well as airbags with vastly lower cost, difficulty of installation, and some methods are reusable. Of course the gubmint knows best.

An F1 HANS system doesn't stop side to side movement but instead they just have the polystyrene insert around their neck.
They didn't bother trying to make side to side support as they knew they could redesign an F1 cockpit and put in the polystyrene padding to minimise it and so focused on forward motion.
I imagine they would have done similar here but still it is mad.

Vettel really does have excellent throttle control.
Watch the throttle %, and listen to the engine.
By the time you can hear the revs quickly increase when it wheelspins, he's already backed off.

It's actually quite easy to hit a slowing car like that through a combo of misjudging how slow it is going/fast you are going & mentally focusing further up the road than what it is immediately in front of you.

Here's the thing, if you watch Nicholas Latifi, he was racing for 5th place and didn't want to lose his position. He can't block the other driver or push him off as per rules, so he ends up crashing into Merhi. He had to pay attention to Tom Dillmann as well who he was racing. This just shows Merhi was being a fucking moron and he doesn't deserve the Manor seat.
Especially since he pulled that "dindunuffin" shit later.
