The Formula One Thread

So, you're Max Verstappen...

 

And you needed a nap or passed out from the heat...

 

Hate seeing Kimi get jacked because that car is crap. Ah well.

 

Here comes Seb bitching!

 

Typical Ferrari . How do you constantly fuck up the simpliest things.

 

Max seems to think he can still make this interesting.

 

That better not be a penalty. It was racing

 

Start to finish that was a great race.

 

What a race! So much more entertaining than last week.
Helluva drive from Max

 

Everyone else has to leave a car width on the track for a pass. Max again feels he can just push anyone off whenever he wants, along with the weaving in the braking zone we saw in the past. For comparison, watch how Kimi races

 

I wouldn't expect a decision from the stewards until the orange crowd leaves, lest there be a riot.

 

They just announced that Max keeps the win.

 

Racing is back?





How pissed is Vettel right now?

 

BBC 5 Live put it in perspective. We'll never have a Villeneueve v Arnoux Dijon 79 ever again, because we won't have battles. Guy on the inside can now punt the car on the outside, who is totally level, front wheel to front wheel, rear wheel to rear wheel, and not have "battles". Imagine if Verstappen did leave a cars width room, as is written in the rules, and they went side by side down to 4. That's a battle. We just got max being max, bull in a China shop, and he gets away with it. I am not one for handing out a ton of penalties, but when it's indictaed, it's indicated. Max should have received a penalty .

And for those saying "let them race".....is punting off a car that is completely level with you considered racing? Would you be cool if you were the one punted, or would you just say "let us race"? Because that is a slippery slope.

 

I think this week, Max dove up the inside which pushed him wide at the exit. I'm happy that he attempted the pass as it was exciting, so I'd let it slide.

Last week (or whenever that was) I think Vettel intentionally veered right to cutoff Hamilton, and I think the penalty was warranted.

 

LeClerc didn't have the car to win anyway...

 

Perhaps (probably) not, but Max made no attempt to leave LaClerc any room at all, or even finish the corner until the Ferrari was over the strips . Just a straight force off the road. Max is a great driver, but also a complete self entitled twat.

 

Max had wayyyy more pace than Chuck

The pass was going to happen anyway

Chuck didn’t crash

It was time for a Honda gimme

 

Both of the last 2 races were just racing incidents and neither should have been punished. Thankfully the latest wasn't.

 

Well, then Max didn't need to push him of the track, since he was going to pass him anyway before the end of the race.
