Moving under braking is never okay, as it is a rule violation. Often nothing comes of it, this time it led to Norris changing his approach because he knew Max would move under braking (per Norris).

I'm not sure why you keep mentioning this British driver nonsense. We are not Sky F1, we are South Africans. There's no British bias here, we support who we support. If that driver happens to be British then so be it. Many people support Charles or Max as their favourite. Are you saying some South Africans have a Monagasque bias? It's silly. You keep undermining your own points with these silly outbursts. It detracts from any point you're trying to make because your statements are so hyperbolic.

And yes, of course there's an uproar because they collided. Drivers aren't supposed to collide, so when they do it becomes a talking point and blame gets apportioned. In this case, it got apportioned to Max as he was at fault. All drivers make mistakes, yesterday was his day to do it it. It's okay, it happens. It'll happen again. It is what it is.

Do you know that people's opinions being influenced by the media is a thing? Companies are getting paid millions to do it.
British F1 media mafia has been at it for decades.
Why do you think all the nonsense from Rb and Horner was so big distracting point earlier? They cannot beat Max and RB on the track so they come up with other BS to try and distract them or break the team up.

We’re almost at the halfway mark and he is 81 points clear of Norris and arguably still has the best car. What pressure? He’s just being a dick, can’t handle being overtaken and blames the team when it doesn’t work out.

If Max does not go all in every race from here on out, things could get very dicey come Abu Dabi. Remember, he does not have a support driver, he is facing one maybe two penalties down the road for new power units depending on how long they can make this one stretch out. Still a couple of races where RB's generally don't do well.

Saying there is no pressure, is silly. Of course he is under pressure to perform at the highest level.

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!

I Somehow doubt that :unsure:
 
I think max is going to be so pissed/motivated after this uproar, he is going to drive into the distance the rest of the season.

Interesting read - good interpretations of the rules with pics and diagrams.

Yeah lets see how he responds, because he normally does, ala 2023 with Perez. I am just thinking that RB still needs to bring their big updates
 
does anyone know how many of the 355 constructors points have been contributed by perez?

Are you suggesting that we are all British-biased, even those who support other drivers from other countries? What an absurd claim.

Also, do you not think the team principle cheating on his wife with an employee is an issue? Just a distraction? Curious.

Completely a distraction and totally irrelevant to F1.

Geri can come to me for comfort if she needs to...

Not really though. It's highly and directly applicable to F1 as it relates to how a team principle manages a team and his employees. I'm not really one for scandal and whatnot, but to call it irrelevant is, of course, nonsense.

The rules is not the problem, consistency in applying them is. And that's the problem here. I am not saying Max is not at fault. I am saying the uproar and even the penalty is harsh. Everyone moves under braking. Nobody ever get penalized for it or at least not consistently.
Point 5 B on that link. How many times have Hamilton go on inside of drivers(Vettel/Max and other) into a corner where his front wheel is just alongside their back wheel and he make contact spinning them of the track? How many times have he been penalized for that?

Yet it got more media coverage than when Mclaren spying on Ferrari.
Makes you think?

So by that logic every company CEO who diddles his sexretary brings the whole company into disrepute?
