It feels like Horner and Marko enable and encourage that kind of stuff, though

Fair point, but he does take it to the extreme.
I make no secret I am no Max fan , but I give credit when it is due , I always have.
I am Lewis fan, but if he cocks up I will say so and I have many times.
Even Schumacher let Rubens win as “payback” after he won the world championship and it was a dead race [following Rubens letting MSC win a race when he was leading for the title]. No excuses for Max.
I missed the Max radio message , what did he say?
Yeh I agree on that aswell, I actually think it's Marko more than anything because Horner wasn't that bad years ago when the team first started out and the few years after that. I think Marko is like an infection to people in that team
Perez is not happy.
Good guy
Kamikaze from Max into Leclerc in the next race please
Perez has defended leads for max like a lion, given up several places easily for him in the past, can’t even give up a 6th place?
I think this could turn out to be a massive error from max. next year he won’t be so helpful. silly
boy.

All true but it says a lot that you feel you have to preface almost every post you make with this, because of how sensitive and angry half this thread are.
Max isn't my boy, I support Ferrari and like Leclerc.
Perez has been way slower than Max this year, and wasn't anywhere near Verstappen to even help him, even if he wanted to.
No way do those two carry on together.
“I told you already last summer, guys, don't ask that again to me. Okay? Are we clear about that? I gave my reasons, and I stand by it."
aka…. I don’t fecking care if I’m already World Champion, I don’t care if we can get a 1-2. You all work FOR ME, IS THAT FECKING CLEAR?! Now don’t ask again or I’ll get Horny to sack you!
Mate give it a rest seriously, your posts are becoming really pathetic now.
again a fair point.
Max is a fecking prick and always has been.
What were those reasons I wonder
Is that a team order?
what a twat, he had NOTHING to lose, this is the part I really don't like about him.
We're checking.....
No sportsmanship shown there. The best f1 drivers are almost always assholes but this is pretty low.
I have no idea why people want a sport where a guy deliberately gives up 4 (!) seconds on the final lap in the name of 'team orders'. It's not a sport at that stage but a farce.
Well one was handed to him by Masi but anyway.
(And yeah Perez had a major role in 1 of them in fairness so his point is totally valid).
Utterly needless move by Verstappen really. I hope that Perez finishes 3rd by exactly the difference in the points lost by not switching today.
Congrats to Russell.
What about if a driver just drives to hold up an opponent so his teammate can increase their lead… is that ok?
it’s a 6th place
it’s not like he’s been asked to give up a podium or something. this will really knock his reputation IMO
I'll have to take your word for that, as you seem to defend Max an awful lot.
As for the rest, Perez is always slower than Max, that's what happens when the car is tailor made for your teammate. Besides, you knew I was talking about last season, when Perez as wingman made a huge difference, not even Masi making up rules would have been able to hand the title to Max without Checo throwing away his own points for Max regularly last year.
The result is irrelevant for max, there was no championship, win or podium at stake. Just honour. Every sport has sportsmanship. F1 is no different.
Max going with the “oblivious” angle
Another twist.
Yes that's great defensive driving. Completely different scenario.
This is getting juicy!
Drivers deliberately crash in qualifying to protect their position? No way!
If there's a genuine reason like that then you can understand Max not giving up the place
