This sport eh. Can the stewards not see that max will force off or crash into any challenger. Can not pass otherwise

This is such bullshit. But I think the team was right in trying to go ahead and drive off.

Verstappen lets his brakes off so he gets to the apex first but then he forces you off. That is clearly abusing the system. Either start giving penalties to Verstappen for forcing people off or don't give penalties when people go off because he forced them.

That is such a bullshit move.

Norris needs to learn that he cannot overtake Verstappen on the outside. He will do this EVERY TIME. Just dive to the inside and crash if he blocks the apex. No other way to make him learn.

What the --- is wrong with those pieces of ---, I sure hope one of the stewards doesn’t crash into a tree on his way home. Or fall of a bridge.

Geniounly wouldn’t shed a single tear

Absolutely --- ridiculous. Verstappen is the only driver that can force somebody off track and then have the driver he forced off get the penalty. Why do I still bother watching this farce of a "sport". Max must have personally given the entire FIA blowjobs, only way to explain this.

Why on earth was Verstappen's move on Sainz any different than that of Norris'?? Half of his car was outside track limits..

McLaren should have told Lando to give the place back. The stewards decisions were inconsistent throughout the race, not sure
if McLaren will dispute the result or if they can. Not sure if he got that for track limits or the overtake.

How about a penalty for Max for forcing Lando off the track a few times????

He's been driving like this since he got to F1, and people think it's "Great Racing" when it's actually just bad racing

No, I think the move to go and get 5 seconds was the right move. He would have issue overtaking again and less time to do it. If he had a lap or two more he would have got 5 seconds.

Max usually overtakes off the track and just runs away.

They sure can and I hope they do, don’t go down quietly, make sure this looks as bad for max, RB and the stewards as possible

Why? so he can get forced off track again? it was worth the risk to keep the position

It was hard to get past Max, just dropping back would likely have been thecsame result. So going for 5 seconds gap was probably the best option.

Agree with this, should’ve just given the position back and tried again next lap to overtake. Lando hinted at this too on the radio
