I first watched F1 in the 1980's my friend.

I do have British heritage, but I have no bias to British drivers. If you watch the approach to the corner you will see Max purposefully squeeze Lando off the track in the breaking zone -- That's illegal...

Jean Claude Vaaldamme said:
He then joins the track and like a proper F1 driver that knows the rules, he moves off the racing line to the right so not to interfere with fast upcoming cars. Lando then tries to pass him even further on the right? How ridiculous.

I saw Max swerve into Lando there and Lando had to slow even further.

Everything I wrote in that post happened after the crash, so keep on topic or you trying to divert from the truth against your claims "The craziest one was Max maneuvering in front of Lando while they both had punctures. Again this is Schumi and Hill vibes."

Yeah maybe look at it again with that no bias to British driver.
Do you claim a driver with a damaged car must not move all the way to the other side of the racing line like Max did? Because that's what he did. move away from the racing line.
Even Lando knows that so he did not try to pass Max on the left as he knew he was going to get trouble if he is slow on the racing line. There was acres of space, but he decided not to go there.

Just like all the passes and dive bombs he tried, he got frustrated because he ran out of talent. With the puncture same thing. Max drove slow enough not to damage car with puncture. Yet the guy who could not control his emotions went so fast trying to overtake Max with a puncture, he broke his whole car.

So this bit here is Lando's fault, eh?

Yes. Did you watch the video. Did you see how the fast cars speed by them on the left? Must Max drive slowly on the lefthand racing line to accommodate Lando?
Max was moving to the right since he joined the track. You trying to look for excuses to compensate for Lando's bad decisions.

I get it, you live on Planet Max. You're wearing orange. You are drinking Red Bull. You have deployed your orange smoke-bomb...

Fun race though :coffee:

Oh cant argue with the facts, now some sticks and stones.

Anyway go watch Spanish GP start and tell us how Lando was right and what penalty he did not get.

Good gravy, so much Lando hate! He really buzzed your bonnet today, eh?

No driver is perfect. Not Max, not Lando, not Charles, not even Sir Lewis. They all make mistakes as they race. But it is fun watching them jostle for position!

What I'm trying to say is both Lando and Max made their mistakes and both paid the price for that, and it was quite the battle. I'm sure they'll have a few more of those before the season is done. Lando will be kicking himself. I think he may have done better hanging back a bit and waiting for Max to make a mistake, but that's something for Lando to chat to his strategists about. Max will probably think about how to defend attacks from a quicker car.

On to the next battleground! And Silverstone is next, oh boy!

Welcome Lando to racing against Max

Max was like a drunk boxer there - Lando improved his race craft overnight and Max felt the pressure. Good times

Now that he isn't in the fastest car by a country mile anymore his true character comes out again. If they punished him sufficiently when he did this to Lewis instead of pandering to him, this would not have happened. As someone so aptly said on FB yesterday, Max "win it or bin it" Verstappen is back.
 
My take on this, both drivers absolutely on the limit here. It started with that awful pitstop putting pressure on Max. Lando smelling blood getting b & w flag for race limits and was most likely on his way to getting a 5 second penalty. This being in his mind was pushing very hard with Max defending very hard.

Ultimately, Max veering to the left to close the door was a step too far imo. I think the pressure of the win, Austria and the car/pitstop issues caused him to make that judgement error.

But, Lando was most likely never going to win anyway with a penalty incoming with 6 laps to go and him still pushing that hard into those corners was also not the best idea. Choose your battles more smartly.

This is racing, Max is a hard driver and Lando is starting to climb out of his shell. There will be many more like these. Sometimes Max will be at fault, sometimes Lando. But we are here for it. It is fun and entertaining.
