George sending it up the inside and causing damage.

Guarantee the radio from George: "He turned in on me"
Mess with the Bull - you get the horns.

George did what is known as "a Verstappen".

Max is a joke, he had at least 18 inches between him and Russel, but he judged it wrong and clipped the barrier, it's his own fault.
The damage is on the left not on the right… not saying that it isn’t whinging. It’s tight. Didn’t think there was much untoward personally. But the damage isn’t from the wall

He didn't send it, he was alongside and left space. He was alongside even before the braking zone

It's pure racing, gr left all the room for max corner after corner.

Charles complaining there was a cut. Presumably power related

He may have hit GR after he touched the wall.

How do you work that out when you hit the inside (left) of the car and then the car you hit touches the wall with the right side.

Because they were alongside in the braking zone, gr slowed more in order to take a tighter angle of attack in the corner to give space to max.

This was pure racing, the dynamics of cars driving around a corner

Easy DRS pass.

Perez needs to drop back .5 second to allow max to get into DRS on charles.

The driving by both was totally fine. Literally zero drama. There is nothing to discuss. It's all personality that makes it polarizing.

RB car is so efficient.

Somehow he pinched a hole in Verstappen's sidepod

Pity that the start of the race got safety car'd... might've been interesting if Charles was able to get out of the DRS and try to stay ahead of the Bulls...

But as Perez got close, it was all over. Shows that the Red Bull Race Pace is still substantially faster than anybody else.
