Watch it again and say it with a straight face cause you can't

If you're letting someone by for an earlier poor move, you get the **** out of the way, and not stick yourself in the worst possible position to get out of the way.  He's an idiot.

 

I have zero respect for him.  Rosberg pushed it, this guy is on another level entirely and he's an idiot for it.

Yes, probably. The new car next year is meant to promote better racing and overtaking isn’t it, so hopefully circuits like Barcelona come to life a bit more and there’s less need for high speed street circuits like this (Baku and Monaco non-permitting, they’re excellent). 

 

Monaco isn't really excellent though is it let's be honest, it's mostly average but the prestige and the tradition of it makes it a decent weekend. 

 

There's a reason Spa, Interlagos, Monza, Imola, Silverstone, probably even Canada are amongst the most popular circuits with fans and drivers alike.

It's artificial excitement though really isn't it. Narrow tracks with walls everywhere, little natural overtaking, all just crashes and mistakes and reliant on DRS zones for over takes. 

 

It's exactly the sort of false spectacle the likes of Jacques Villeneuve have bemoaned. 

You’d prefer Tilke circuits then, boring, no features but straights long enough to overtake on

It would be interesting to see the telemetry on that incident. Did Verstappen apply the brakes? If he did they might throw the book at him.

I'm sure he did. BUT Horner will already be in the race Marshall's ear or tugging them off as we speak!!

Dirty Max will take Lewis off in the last race and win the Championship and the FIA will be too spineless to do anything.

Its Senna v Prost all over again.

Hes slowed down and Lewis rather than taking position has gone straight into the back of him, there is no blame on max as much as you want to blame. him

He will. He's shown (3 times today) that he is happy to crash rather than lose a place. Very difficult to race with someone with that mentality.

Obviously learned from his dads mistakes then

Lewis literally has conceded he didn't brake test him so will be interesting what narrative is picked.

Great to see Finnegan decided to contribute to the thread, cannot wait for the formula Nippon results

To which he said the team didn't say he would let him take the position

[PhillippaT]

I might watch the highlights on C4, later, just to see what they make of all that, too...  

[Legend_in_blue]

Driver of the day?

 

He's definitely something of the day, not repeating it here though.

Level on points and Max ahead on race wins only.

 

I want to know what price you can get for a double DNF in the last race, as Max will be gunning for that hard. He'll make Michael Schumacher on Damon Hill look like a friendly nudge.

Tbf it's good the drivers don't seem to be engaging in all the **** off the track. Can't wait for Horner and Toto.

He had no idea why Max was slowing, or if he had a problem or what he was doing. As a racer he would be round him like a shot if he thought he had the room to do it easily, which is what Max was SUPPOSED to allow him to do.

Yeah agreed, there does seem to be genuine respect between both and they've not fueled the fire either way

Other than Lewis' calling him crazy on the radio.

You need to watch it again I think

That's heat of the moment stuff though, doesn't really play into the whole thing
