Sickening to hear them excuse max forcing another driver off the track.

Despite saying throughout the race it's a penalty everytime another driver did it.

Easy to be first at the apex if you have no intention of getting round the corner and every intention of pushing the other guy off.

If Norris didn't pass him Verstapen should've got a penalty.

But surely you punish the first penalty that's due and that should make the other null an void anyway.

Exactly, Max taking that line at that speed even if Norris wasn't there was never making that corner. He did it deliberately knowing the repercussions would be less for him than Lando, same as crashing into Lewis.

I like Max, outstanding driver, but this is the sort of stuff that tarnishes legacies and leaves questions in your wake. Not that this is Max's fault but constantly driving across the bows of your opponents needs to be addressed by the FIA.



Same as this, he basically flies up the inside cuts across the entire pack. Video game driving.

I'm really happy when rookies like Lawson & Colapinto are doing great.

Lando & McKaren once again showing they aren't ready to fight for WDC - Lando shouldn't try to fight to the end in that corner and he'd have many more opportunities to get Max who was going to get even slower with the almost dead tyres.

The battling was fun but it probably needed the penalty to tone it down a bit
Lando missed a trick, shouldn't have accepted he'd pass Max when he pitted, should've continued to try and pass him until Max ultimately gets himself disqualified.

Also without a hint of irony, GP saying a "lot of whinging" about the moves gave me a little chuckle

This is old, but new to me. I’ve watched this like a dozen times now


Sadly that actually sounded better than the fucking cars these days :messenger_grinning_squinting:

This is what they used to sound like:



It was an incredible sensation to hear them coming. Nothing like it. Absolutely fucking monstrous, and no other formula came close to it.

Now they just sound like they're farting down the track. You barely need earplugs. It's nowhere near the same experience, and the worst change in F1 history.

I was at Spa a few years ago. Hybrid era. Vettel was still driving for Ferrari then. They whizzed by on the Kemmel Straight. Didn't hear jack shit. It was so sad.
 
Max infringement under VSC, just waiting for the papers to hit with a 10s penalty? Can't see it myself.
Closer is possible as you have delta time and if other is slower, or you create small time buffer were you go quick one moment slower the next.

So have to wait and see if Max was outside that required sector time

Reading new rule is that you have to stay one car behind these days before green, so that might be it.

Max was alongside under the safety car which thanks to him is against the rules.

The delta has naff all to do with it
