Racing Fans Lash Out At F1 As Website Removes Article: "Lack Of Proper Punishment"

F1 fans have launched an attack on the racing organisation after they posted an article on how the Red Bull team have gained such a high level of performance this year. This, we assume, forced F1 to remove their article, although the tweet promoting it is still published at the time of writing.

"How has Red Bull's car gained so much pace since last season?" the caption read. "Time for a technical deep dive." But on clicking the link of the tweet, the article has been taken down resulting in a "page not found" warning.

While it isn't confirmed why this has happened, the response to the tweet has garnered significant criticism from fans who are unhappy with the dominance the Red Bull team is showing so far this season and last.

Redbull is cheating and making boring again the F1.

Thank you FIA Redbull Racing Team for ruining F1 every weekend.

Thor Talkin' didn't hold back as he called the team cheaters after they blew past their cop cap last year. Another added:

The impact of #RedBullCheats’ #F1nancialDoping will be felt for years to come. Sadly, the impact of the FIA's pathetic 'punishment' won't be felt at all."

A third was keen to answer the F1's question in their tweet:

"Answer= Cost cap infringements and argue like hell to get a penalty that won’t affect your gains."

Adrian Newey, the aerodynamicist who designed the RB19, was also brought into the conversation, with one Twitter user blaming his talent for the Bull's serious performance:

Or put it more simply, the names Newey, Adrian Newey.

It's obvious from the comments on the tweet that fans of the sport are quick to blame F1 and the FIA for not hitting Red Bull with a harsher punishment after their cost cap infringement that was revealed last year.

"By breaking the cost cap and carrying on the advantage this season and for the foreseeable future due to lack of proper punishment by FiA. Cheating in other words," another added.

This negativity towards the team is likely what resulted in F1 removing their article, and while a reader can't comment on the article itself, the backlash the tweet received likely spurred the website editor to remove the article.

F1 hasn't seen such a gap between the top Constructor and the rest of the pack ever in its history, despite the fact that the new cost cap regulations that were supposed to be bringing the grid closer together.

Lewis Hamilton - maybe unsurprisingly and a little hypocritically - reported that he'd never seen a more dominant car in the sport:

“I’ve definitely never seen a car so fast," he told the press.

“When we were fast we weren’t

that

fast. That’s the fastest car, I think, I’ve seen, especially compared to the rest, I don’t know why or how but he came past me with serious speed.

“I didn’t even bother to block because there was a massive speed difference… yep."
