F1 2021 Season

Must be a fast Walker
:lol:

They open the gates after the race at Monza, to allow the fans to fill the start/finish straight and gather under the podium, after that loads of people walk a lap. It’s such a great race to attend if you ever get the opportunity.
 
So Max seems to think it's ok to squeeze drivers off track, but when another driver does it to him he doesn't ever attempt to back out like Hamilton has done many times this season.

At Silverstone Hamilton was a fool for attempting that move apparently, and Max wasn't at fault, now it's the opposite and Hamilton has to leave the space.

Max and Horner said Hamilton was disrespectful after that race for celebrating, meanwhile Max has landed on top of Hamilton's car, and before he even knows if he is ok, he makes a stupid radio message to his team.

If Hamilton did that there would be chaos, but super Max can do whatever he likes without any backlash.

I can't wait to see what Horner will moan bout now.
Horner's borrowing Essien's calculator to count how much it costs to fix Max's car.
 
so so so happy. what a result.

I knew we were quick at Monza but I never expected this! huge.
 
Home race for Mazepin next round. Hopefully he spins less this time.

I’ve never been to Monza, o would love to one day.
I just found it funny you said you knew the racing line, you’d walked it :D
 
Are you seriously saying two cars can’t go through there together?

I mean it literally happened on the restart.

It’s not about whether they can or can’t though. It’s about who has the right and what sensible drivers would do. Why should Lewis in that position have to give up space so Max can keep his ideal line and just because there is space on the outside for him to give him more room? Surely by the same point then Max should have done that in Silverstone?

And by this logic, every car would just stick their car up the inside on every corner on the basis that the other car would have to give space.

which is why it is not about whether both cars can or can’t get through, it’s about who has the right. And just like Lewis had the right here, Max did in Silverstone. And why in both cases, what I would see as a racing incident between two aggressive drivers not wanting give up anything, once you give the penalty to Lewis in Silverstone you have to to Max here.

The entire team is extremely self centered to the point of absurdity, all comes from the top down with Horner being such a baby, and it's reflected in Max's extremely spoiled attitude.
 
Watching the replay from Max's car. It does look like he's getting squeezed by Lewis ...not sure the rules of corneri, who gets what.
 
Lewis blames Max , Max blames Lewis, did Sky expect anything else.
Racing incident, both wanted the space, both giving nothing, if the sausage kerb had not been there, maybe they would have got though it.

I think it’s a racing incident too. But I also thought Silverstone was. So if you give a penalty for Lewis there, you have to, IMO, give Max a penalty here.
 
Loved that bit where Toto celebrates Bottas overtaking then realises he didn’t make it stick. :lol:

It's a chicane, there's no space for 2 cars.

Verstappen tried to force his way into a gap that didn't exist. Wreckless again.

he wouldn't do a move like that on Mazepin, he's trying to bully his way passed Lewis.

I’ve said from the beginning it’s a racing incident, but it’s not about just “sticking it up the inside” and the other guy has to give you room. Max’s front wheel was over half way up the side of Lewis, he was alongside him going into T2 and if I’m not mistaken if the other guys wheels are in front of your rear wheels you should give enough room to make the corner within the track boundaries.

Having seen the lap one incident I get why Lewis didn’t yield, and I don’t really give a feck cos I don’t like either of them, but I don’t think it’s the blatant fault of Max that most are making out.

yes. You're never going around the outside of somebody whos already INTO the chicane. If you're going into it side by side then the driver on the inside will need to take a wider line.

Lewis didn't need to do that as he's already way ahead. Just slinging yourself down the outside and trying to force yourself into a gap that doesn't exist isn't a proper move.
 
Disagreeing with di Resta here - no way Max is ever getting through this corner. Lewis is ahead and taking the line he wants. Max gets alongside by driving in far too quickly - if Lewis isn't there and Max drives through that corner on that line he's barely making the exit of the chicane.
 
Horner doesn’t sound convincing, I think he knows it’s mostly on Max.

100%. Just having extra speed from behind doesn't mean you can throw yourself into a chicane and hope it works. He clearly hoped he'd bump him out of the way and push passed, but he caught the kerb and lost control.

This was way more on purpose than anything Hamilton did at Silverstone.

Likewise I don’t think its blatant. But, my point is there is NO difference to this and the lap one incident in Silverstone. Once Lewis was given a penalty there, I strongly feel it is only fair to give Max a penalty here. What’s your take on the Silverstone point?

I actually agree with you - I think the lap one incident here, at Silverstone and this crash, were all racing incidents. But once a penalty was given to Lewis in Silverstone I feel it must be given to Max here because otherwise it’s inconsistent. If I had it my way none of them would be penalties.
 
There's a lot of great photos from today, but this one gets me everytime. :lol:

Look at the screenshot I posted earlier in the thread and watch the video in the tweet from Sky Sports of Norris and LeClerc.

I can’t be arsed arguing this anymore, I don’t even like Max :lol:
