Former F1 driver thinks drivers should stop 'snitching'
Nov.7 - German racing legend Hans-Joachim Stuck has told Formula 1 drivers to stop "snitching" on their rivals.
The phenomenon has emerged largely due to the ongoing 'track limits' controversy, with drivers complaining on the radio about transgressions they witness whilst at work in the cockpit.
"I don't agree with what they're doing because of the track limits," Stuck, a former F1 driver and three-time Le Mans winner, told Servus TV.

"I won't name names, but I wouldn't say over the radio that this driver or that driver has exceeded the track limits. That's pure snitching," the 71-year-old charged.
"The boys should instead step on the gas. That's my opinion.
"The drivers don't have to go to have a coffee after the race - because they're racing! And sometimes you just have to let the race be a race."

I agree. IMO the running commentary that was provided by Louise during the Mexican race was really a sour grapes rant, because he couldn't catch Max! I mean, he was on the verge of being penalised for exceeding rack limits and he was playing the psychological game against the car in front. It's one of the down sides to drivers having two way radios in the cars. We really don't want to listen to that type of raving by Louise or anyone else!
Oh I don't know , I kinda like the desperation in Lalas voice, makes me feel all warm and happy inside
Yeah,, he, he you can imagine the likes of NM,, MS,, JH, saying Ooooohhh! That guy in front is infringing track limits doooo! something. If he hadn't said anything on the radio MV probably would have broken track limits, so in future sir Lulu,, keep your mouth shut., you could have won the race.
Mr. Stuck has a point, though, when you think about it. Imagine if the FIA adopted the attitude: "Sometimes you have to let the race be a race."
Only the most egregious offences would be cited. Fewer over-paid Stewards and Race-Directors. One, not 17, binders of Rules and Regulations. Spending Cap, what Spending Cap? Dame Lucille could look like that idiot who has like 1,000 piercings on his face (I bet she'd do it ....).
Now I'm not advocating F1 turn into a Dodge-Em's tournament - but good old-fashioned racing, who knew that's what everyone wants?
I agree. It was sad that the G.O.A.T. sounded like a 12 blabbing on about Max going over the track limits. Says a lot about his maturity of a 37 year old male. Maybe Sir Lulu should worry more about his own driving and less about others. Nobody likes a snitch.
Reminded me of the antics of a small child ~ I'm telling Mum on you! Very immature conduct.
I think your all being very cruel towards Lucy, she was brilliant at snitching, if snitching was a competition,shed be on the top step.
I am a firm believer in track limits being enforced. Fair is fair. Hell, I'd rather see moats with alligators than huge run-off areas. BUT, reporting infringements is the responsibility of the corner workers, not some pant pissing whiner.
I like your thinking. Populate the moats with cloned sarcosuchus imperators - 40-foot-long crocodiles from the Miocene era.
