This is just not a good take sorry, to single out LEC, which many have done, is just lazy because it's comfortable. At least some RBR fans on the discord channel were also in agreement that Max got away with something there.f1isgood wrote: ↑27 Oct 2025, 19:59Not sure what the fuss is all about. Hamilton sleeping meant they were going to bang wheels. Verstappen knows the rules perfectly better than everyone else. Only person to escape a clear cut penalty was Leclerc for Turn 1. That's within Ferrari so I guess they ruled that one out.
To think that Max got to P4 and thus he shouldn't lose the place to ANT or RUS isn't a good take at all. This is why people say that there should be gravel rather than grass or road there. Max had nowhere to go there, in a normal race he's either in the wall or out of the points past T3.
This is RUS on instagram (source reddit for me, I don't have IG).
I'm far from being a RUS supporter, I think we can all agree with that, but there is a CONSTANT excuse of a certain driver as "he knows the rules better than everyone" which is frankly also unrealistic, took the stewards 30 laps to even decide what to do there, let's be serious for a minute...
In this very same thread the "gaining an advantage" for Lewis is that he gained a few seconds in front of Max during their scuffle, but not that Max cutting that corner in T1 likely allowed him to not find himself 10th or worse after T3.
I repeat myself, this was the worst stewarded event of the past 3-4 years and there have been some absolute stinkers. Yes, the rulebook is crap, written badly and partly by the drivers. It's still crap and the amateurish enforcement makes it even worse. This is not acceptable at this level of money flowing in the sport, stop asking drivers how to write the rules and write a proper overtaking rule and "gaining an advantage" rule, if gaining an advantage is just overtaking then write "overtaking off track" which is already a penalty.
lazy lazy lazy all around.
