A leopard never changes his spots. Max is the same guy whenever things dont go his way.
These road rage tactics deserve race bans.
His intention was to damage a radiator to end George's race. Max always goes the extra mile to ensure he gets as much points as possible.

Tenth place in the second best car is a very poor conversion. If he let's the season get to him, he wont have any chance of even getting P2 in the championship.

Great race by Charles. He did say he was driving for a podium.
Lewis was just poor. He had no answer at the restart to even close up to Russel and Max. I guess his tyres were too old. Hulk took advantage and got a healthy result.

Alonso.. I do not know what to say.. I think retirement beckons. His race was poor also. The theatrics are nice, but he goes backwards.
For Sure!!

I might be wrong, but what Max did is not dissimilar to the following two incidents?


It is the same exact thing. I did predicr a Russelp and Max clash.
Very immature guy. He should get the same punishment as Shumacher. But the stewards always give him a tap on the knuckles and he gets away to crash another day.
For Sure!!

And once again we all has to acknowledged the fact this modern f1 would be utterly and totally boring without a driver named Max. 😁😁😁
and yeah, the so-called championship 'battle' between Norris and Piastri is the most boring thing since I cannot remember when.
Probably since 2023?
If this makes you happy, then ok, on the F1 entertainment championship Max is the leader. Ferrari probably has been leading the constructors' championship for 10 years or so.

Why on earth did they tell Max to give the place back?!!?

George was in the wrong and under investigation.
Max was under investigation for leaving the track. George was never under invest for anything.
It was investigated as a turn 1 incident between Max and George. So I am not so sure that is really clear.

So your defense of Max is “well at least it’s entertaining”? :lol:

Max throwing away vital points there. Tantrums arent entertainment, cant believe he only got 10 seconds. That's a great example for all the youngsters coming through.

So a deliberate crash into another driver is worth a lesser penalty than track infringements (Russel in Monaco last week) lmao F1 penalties are screwed

In future races we will have drivers deliberately hitting others to help team mates score points

The FIA dont want to punish him too much. They need him in the championship fight.
A race ban is deserved (many seasons he has done something for a race ban) but he js as his fans say, part of the entertainment package.
For Sure!!

I’m a bit unsure of this one right now. Max cannot be that stupid that he crashes into George on purpose there, risking a race ban or another severe penalty. I think when he got the order to let him through, he did at first, but then regretted it to let him past so he has a DRS chance for the main straight instead. Which is fair if allowed to make that kind of swap, but it really shouldn’t be. That’s another story though. But either way it’s of course strange that he went in so hot into T5 with George, so who knows, maybe it still was a little bit deliberate to prove a point. He definitely has enough car control to keep it closer to the apex if he wanted to…

Weird strategy by Red Bull also. Why not keep the softs and the lead going into the final laps? Surely gives you a better chance to get a good result when the hards were avoided like the plague all weekend. They dropped the ball here for sure.

It was 100% deliberate. It was a calculated wheel to wheel bash to make sure he didn’t damage his car.

Verstappen is losing it.
