Formula 1 2021

Yep Max at fault for not giving an inch but will probably go down as a 50/50 ..  hope Max is penalised for it though.

Max should have done what Lewis did on lap one, baled out and lived to fight on.

 

Interestingly Johnny Herbert half questioned if it was deliberate from Max

[Brainy]

In the unlikely event either of them get a grid drop, they'll just take the opportunity to change their engine which will work out better in the long run

 

Okay 3 place grid drop for Max

It hasn’t stood out to me ..  pretty fair tbh ..  maybe I just didn’t notice it.  I’d expect British commentators would like a Brit to do well but would always be fair in their analysis when it came to the blame game.

hopefully Max learns from this and finally grows up, he should have done the same as Lewis on lap one and baled out, RedBull haven't helped him though by not holding him accountable

they’ve indulged him 100% but they want to hold onto him as long as possible so it’s not a surprise …….

do what managers do, publicly stand by him but in private make it known to him he is being a prat and it needs to stop

[Legend_in_blue]

Max's post race comments were from a bloke that was 100% guilty.  

 

He had no business trying a move that he was always playing catchup in when attempting to go round the corner.  You do the same on any racing game, GT, Project Cars, you name it, you do that on that turn and that is what will happen.  Ridiculous.

 

As Toto said "professional foul" just about sums that up.

RedBull will change the engine 100%

[The Horse's Mouth]

Hope so, we could actually have a good Sochi grand Prix 

[isaidno]

Only 2 more races at Sochi left. They're building a new circuit in St Petersburg.

For tickling Lewis's helmet?

for not buying him a drink first

Stewards decision, so as I read it basically because Max was significantly behind at the 50 metre board he wasn’t entitled to racing room so is therefore at fault

I think it's normal for an anti British driver fan who watches a British broadcaster think that their coverage is biased. He'd be better off learning a Dutch and listening to their commentary

They're probably just as biased as well, I don't get how you can't admit they're biased

[The Bear]

I didn't notice how bad this could have been from the replays.

Yes - quite handy actually.

 

EDIT: Seems they aren’t allowed to?

Nailed on when Horner thinks it's 50/50 racing incident 

 

Edit - sorry I was told wrong.

I think they can but the grid penalty would be applied at the following race
