He would become a hero with Sky F1, because when it's George Vs Lewis, you know who they are going to stand with.AeroDynamic wrote: ↑16 Nov 2022, 13:53Max's spite is concerning.

The post-race interview max gave certainly suggested, if not outright stated, that to be the case yeahAeroDynamic wrote: ↑16 Nov 2022, 13:53Max's spite is concerning.

I think you can say the exact same for Lewis. What we have seen is that both dont yield when fighting each other. Lewis actually has quite the history of wrecking with his rival when it gets serious. In the Rosberg years there was a similar trend evolving...AeroDynamic wrote: ↑16 Nov 2022, 13:53Max's spite is concerning.

Anyone in a title fight takes more risks with the direct rival. Leclerc said it best in his post-race interview at COTA. He said that he knew he could take more risks with Checo (when making a large divebomb) because they are fighting for the championship position, so went for the audacious move. Larger risks make more sense in wheel to wheel because when you get it wrong neither of you score, and it's clear this is consciously considered by driversnapoleon1981 wrote: ↑17 Nov 2022, 06:29I think you can say the exact same for Lewis.

And don't forget Massa, there was a period where they were constantly crashing. Lewis was crashing with his rivals before Max was even in F1.napoleon1981 wrote: ↑17 Nov 2022, 06:29I think you can say the exact same for Lewis.

Absolutely untrue. Lewis either backs out of potential clashes with Max (multiple times last year) or they crash and Max gets penalized in all cases bar one. Lewis has no history of ”wrecking his rivals” when things get serious, unlike Max who even admitted to crashing into Lewis in the last race on purpose. It’s grasping at straws from Max fans to try and make Lewis look as awful as Max does in racing situations.napoleon1981 wrote: ↑17 Nov 2022, 06:29I think you can say the exact same for Lewis.

If you by common trend mean one instance, then you are right. But as has been discussed multiple times, he had the right to go for the move. It was not executed properly, hence the penalty. I’m 100 % fine with that.chrisc90 wrote: ↑17 Nov 2022, 12:41Tvetovnato wrote: ↑17 Nov 2022, 12:36Absolutely untrue.

Seems a common trend. Is that not wrecking your rival? Rosberg Hamilton incident?
