@mariohomohI saw Jarno’s video and i really think this is going to ramp up the pressure. The penalty for the incident (ive now seen it) i think is reasonable
Rewound the video here and watched the incident that culminated in the overnight, post-event 3s extra penalty. I don't see how it fixes anything except for perhaps easing off the spirits of those that feel like the controversy surrounding Ronhaar makes his championship underserving 🙃
I can't take F1 Esports seriously for the reasons we discussed in other threads. Basically:
- Promoters and organiziers (Codies included) don't do nearly enough to cast a veneer of professionalism to the scene. The way they deal with the cheating allegations is inadequate, insufficient and dispiriting;
- Competitors don't act the part. Not really blaming them, they're mostly kids and act as such. But if the sport doesn't put any effort towards elevating them, I don't feel like dedicating any of my free time to it.
Lap 19 incident getting rectified does not fix that. Actually it coming so late after the event in a way will still add petrol to this backyard bonfire.
Feels like caring for kids' Sunday soccer (rectius: football 🫶) and all its unsuitable gossiping and mayhem when I don't even have a child in the field.
Tons of respect for a few players in there, but honestly F1 Esports, as it is, is rather unbecoming for them.
