He managed to overtake Leclerc before then, and was all over the back of Hamilton on separate occasions. He took too much pace into a lunge on the inside and locked up. You’re acting like he didn’t have working breaks, he ran out of patience. Hamilton was on hards that were what, 15 laps older?

Lando is a spoilt rich kid who has been taught how ro behave "appropriately" for wide audiences , however when he is annoyed because he didn't get his way, his real self slips through. That actually is valid for a lot of the drivers.
Really? Thought it was No further investigation so no verdict from them. If that was to be the verdict it would be ridiculous.
NGL. I love that guy. Heart on his sleeve, even when it works against him.
This is the document and that’s how I interpreted it but I may be misreading it to be fair.
Sorry but that's utter rubbish.
There was nothing wrong with his brakes all weekend. The car is suffering from understeer which max hates and was mentioned in qually and the race.
The lock ups were because he was angry and took too much speed into the attempted overtakes.
There's not a single article anywhere online about RedBull having break issues not were there any radio calls about it.
If lando can somehow pull back Max's lead and loses the championship by a few points. This will be the pivotal moment.
Lewis looks to have done Max a bit of a favour there.
It was not a racing incident at all. It was a driver on tilt taking a massive risk and getting it all wrong. Honestly, FIA have to be much stronger than this. His behaviour is only going to get worse until he starts getting properly punished (or returns to having a car miles quicker than anything else on the grid).

I mean, Lewis literally turned into him. Max was idiot for trying to overtake there but you are allowed to do that, and he was always going straight there with Lewis switch and gaining advantage again, Max was never going to come out first out of that corner. Maybe Lewis just wasn't expecting him there?
Anyone know what GP meant before Max complained how he had to do something ecause they fecked up the strategy? Something like good move, or whatever it was, when he was closing on Hamilton.
While being all outraged about drivers forcing drivers off track. Alexa, what's irony?
Did you even read the FIA statement. It says the telemetry from car 44 didn't do anything untoward i.e. he didn't turn into him.
Max got angry and divebomed Hamilton. It was stupid of max. If he had gotten a DNF his lead could have been down to 59 points (especially if Norris held onto p1 with the knowledge of a max DNF). He can't do stupid stuff like that with McLaren and lando cutting into his lead over next 11 races
Think it's the right decision from the stewards, yeah Lewis turned in under braking as if nobody was on the inside (which Max said was moving under braking, personally I don't see it that way but it's debatable I guess) but Max did lunge from far, similar to what Norris did a couple of times to Max in Austria. If either Lewis had checked his mirrors a bit better and/or if Max had braked a bit earlier it would have been fine but here we are.
would love a couple of dnfs in a row for max now.
The FIA clearly bottling it by not punishing Verstappen.
But anyway McClaren are sure going to look pretty stupid if Lando loses the title by less than 7 points.

That's some decision.
Verstappen in huge “being a prick” shocker. What’s new? When it isn’t going his way he throws his toys out the pram, and more than that he’s a menace on the track.
Lewis' fault as he should have turned left into the right hander.
A decision was made there to sweep it under the carpet.
Biggest take away for me was Lando being passive aggressive in the cooldown room with Lewis for no apparent reason.

Exactly right.
verstappen doesn’t know how to race lewis. i reckon he spends more time in verstappen’s head than he does in his tax haven.
Good post.
Reportedly they gave him the contract because it meant that they could exercise performance clauses immediately - specifically if he falls 100 points behind Verstappen his contract can be terminated with no penalty.
Yes. It did seem like Lewis was a bit taken aback by Norris reaction.
Fair.
That is amusing.
He only was in front due to a team decision and therefore he should respect the team decision to move him back. Maclaren clearly fecked it all up but it's not like Lando was guaranteed to pass Piastri before the (inexplicable) undercut.
It was a stupid decision.
It was a stupid decision to let him undercut his teammate from 2nd place when they had a 1-2 locked up. Somehow they've managed to make everyone unhappy despite having comfortably the strongest driver line-up and the best car
I feel for the crowd who paid good money to watch a race. And they were denied seeing what they paid for, a race to the finish.
Can’t believe max didn’t get a penalty for that. He dived bombed, got it wrong and hit a car attempting to go around the bend. Was Lewis meant to go straight on too just to avoid the contact
Huge crash in the Indycar just now
Not guaranteed, no, but with 1/3 of the race to go and only a couple of seconds behind, I'm sure he'd have liked to at least been afforded the chance to win. Instead he's been made to give that up to cover off a guy who finished 10 seconds behind him and was never a threat.

Yeah, it was divebomb and very stupid from Max, but Hamilton literally turned his wheels into Max's rear end(because Hamilton was supposed to turn into the corner), he generally didn't do anything wrong from rules point of view, I am just saying that he could have continued bit straight and hit the brakes more which would just send Max straight and it would be easy for Hamilton to take over the position back, this way he risked his car being hit too.
