But Norris was ahead if Max braked to make the corner (and especially if he leaves enough space).
Why? With the current trajectory he rather needs to look at Leclerc.FittingMechanics wrote: ↑20 Oct 2024, 22:51Hopefully this reminds Norris on how he needs to race Verstappen.
We’ll if you’re following the Red Bull rule book, yes, they shouldDarth-Piekus wrote: ↑20 Oct 2024, 22:56So should Mclaren from now on use Oscar Piastri as a kamikaze to cause Max Verstappen a DNF or two using holes in the rules?
But crucially not ahead at the apex. The corner is so long you can just manage the gey wide with ease and ensure the switchback won't work, as long as you are ruthlessly efficient lap after lap.FittingMechanics wrote: ↑20 Oct 2024, 22:57But Norris was ahead if Max braked to make the corner (and especially if he leaves enough space).
What Max does is perfect to abuse the rule book. He brakes to stay alongside the other driver, then drives to the edge of the track (or beyond). You can't fight against that. If you go deep on the brakes he just goes deeper and both of you go off track. If you go early on the brakes, he brakes alongside you and blocks you that way.
Only way to beat him is to go to the inside. When that happens he usually lets his brakes off and then claims he was "ahead at the apex" or forced off.
All of this happened in Austria.
You forget that the only thing more incompetent, racist and corrupt than the national socialist party is the FIA
They can appeal, but stupidity of stewards will prevent a good result coming out of it. Stewards decided divebomb defending is legal and it just shows how they are utterly clueless about the situation. I think they want a big crash next time.
Dude, you're actually worse than Darth Peikus for saltiness.
The FIA should have thrown the entire rulebook in Verstappen's face a long, long time ago. But sadly they are too cowardly or too deep in his pocket, or whatever, to do that.FittingMechanics wrote: ↑20 Oct 2024, 22:57But Norris was ahead if Max braked to make the corner (and especially if he leaves enough space).

Was a tight race with Max, though, eh!
I wouldn’t have an issue with Verstappens hard racing if he stays within the race track as well.FittingMechanics wrote: ↑20 Oct 2024, 22:53That's what frustrates me the most. Not only does Max not leave space to the other driver, he doesn't even make the corner. And instead of him getting a penalty for illegal defense he benefits because other driver gets a track limits violation and sometimes a penalty for overtaking off the track.
Ridiculous. I know WDC is an almost impossible feat this year but it would be real karma if he got punted off in some of the next races and Lando clinched it.
