Max Verstappen 'started laughing' after Silverstone simulator runs: 'Felt like a different track'​


Following his second place finish at Sunday's Austrian Grand Prix, Verstappen suggested Silverstone, which will host the British Grand Prix this weekend, could be one of the worst circuits yet.

"Silverstone, I love the track, but I did a few laps on the simulator and I just started laughing," Verstappen said. "It felt like a different track, to be honest. You barely have battery around the lap.

"It's just constantly flat [on the throttle]. So yes, it's going to feel very different compared to what we are used to around Silverstone, because of the layout of the track.

"Here [in Austria] you have long straights and big braking zones, so you can charge the battery. There you have long straights but in a fast corner, for example, so you can't really charge the batteries, and then the next straight you don't have a lot [of electrical energy] to spend.

"It's going to be a tough one."

Double yellows does not mean flat out, no. Single yellow means lift.

Facepalm - TV Tropes


single yellow : slow down caution
double yellow : slow down and be prepared to stop, serious caution

Russell : sets fastest lap and sector times, FIA, "nah its ok he's British"

Max and the rest of the world, "what a load of bullpoo"

I recall a lot of moaning about Max's tactics like this and Max and his fans defending it as racing.

Do not remember many penalties for it either tbh.

Max has been doing it for years, and getting away with it to the point where other drivers just give him his way. It's about time Lewis grew some balls and stood up for himself. Lewis had been max's punching bag for a long time. Other drivers must also start pushing him off when he does his dive bombs.

Seems like that dirty hoe bag emptying his balls might be having a good effect on him.

Max has been given many penalties for doing the exact same... Everyone knows Lewis is a poofta <-- sorry punching bag, oh my **** what a joke :ROFL:
Are you now seeing that all drivers are the same, you do it... I do it... you do it.. I do it... Lewis is just as a dirty driver as any formula 1 driver has ever been since 1950!

PS: he's not going to sleep with you.

Good grief, you should really come out of the closet, the fumes in there is affecting the few neurons you have in there fighting for survival.

Ignoring your homophobic rant, many drivers have been overly cautious around Max because he is known for his dangerous dive bombs, and most of the time he gets away with it.

And yes, on track Lewis has been a massive walk over at times, his balls dropping (especially when fighting against Max) has been long overdue.

Really, fml you clearly are smoking crack at the border with the illegals I see.
You really believe in your peanut head that Lewis has never had an argy-bargy wheel banging shunts with other drivers in his +20 year career???? you've got to be kidding! He is just as dirty as they all are, every single one of them, even Stroll who is last.

Did you start watching F1 last week?

PS : Lewis is never going to sleep with you in your closet, so move on.

Once again, your rampant homophobia aside, please point out where I said this?

Since you're going to go there, remind us what happened at Abu Dhabi 2021.
Single waved yellow was probably not the right call by race director, but Russell took advantage (kimi did not). It worked out for Russell because he was so far ahead on that lap that slowing down didn't affect the end result.
