Poorly executed T1 by Lando. Should have never allowed that lunge by Max.
Max went super tight and pushed Norris out of the track.

Later on he went full throttle off the track to keep ahead of Sainz. Are stewards in the race?

Honestly Max really went in there with a mission. He has nothing to lose so he just divebombed. Wouldn't have made the corner even without Lando there.

He really is driving very risky. This was a potential crash with Norris but Norris went off track.

Max fighting hard against Sainz is also crash waiting to happen. Not sure if it is that smart.

Sainz also has nothing to lose. If Max overdoes it in the defense with him it might not end that well for both of them ...

Verstappen would rather crash them out than than conceding into T1. He had no intent of making that corner.

It was a typical Max divebomb, sending the other off the track. Then what he does. Goes out of bounds and keeps his position.

I cant say I was surprised. Max would start his shenanigans sooner or later.

Swapping to the hards will be our hope to win here.
I mean with regards to whose car they work better on.

Max and the stewards is become almost as big of a joke as the Kansas City Chiefs in the NFL, the amount of things they get away with is joke.

Sadly a lot of you will blame this on lando when the choice was crash out or give him the position.

Don’t see a way back from this without some type of major intervention

I don't think the car has a win in it. Podium would be a miracle.

Im really pissed at that a-hole divebomber. No respect at all. That is why I want a car that will be 1 sec faster than the rest.

Max could murder someone on track at this point and the stewards would look the other way.

Nevermind, actually they are much slower than the sprint so I doubt they touch the podium without some divine intervention.

It seems the team was trying to go one stop. Maybe just maybe this is tyre management even though it doesn't look that way. Leclerc is really fast, dominant at the moment.

We'll see what happens on hards but not looking that good. If Max ends up ahead, at least let's hope for Ferrari 1-2 to minimize point loss.

Nah, they're a second off the pace, this is not tire management. Car is quite shocking here for some reason.
