Max always aims to cover the entire track by being ahead at the apex and then shutting the other one out wide. Going next to the track is the logical next step. I don't blame him, he plays to the rules, and the FIA have made it abundantly clear that Max is allowed to do this.
Jesus this angle at the start. I know they give extra latitude on the first lap, but that's to avoid punishing mistakes in the heat of wheel to wheel when there's chaos and a tiny error can have huge consequences. Taking this line into a corner is not the intent of that.
Yes, with the caveat that it’s the same for every sport. I almost never sit down to watch a non-United game anymore, I find football tedious and boring at higher levels. Rugby can be ruined with one slightly mistimed tackle, rending the whole game pointless. I’m sure there’s lot of examples in other sports.
shame because it just makes him look like a limited driver. contrast how he defends by just braking too late and blocking off the track to someone like alonso.
It is a shame because it's a waste of a talented generation. This is one of the few ways to overtake now (if the marshals let you), DRS being the other (usually used along side it). Normal racing overtakes, hanging on to it on the outside, switching up on a set of corners, faking outside then going inside, have been designed out of formula 1 at this point (long list of reasons but too large cars and no refueling are the culprits I blame most).
Thing is, they're not. Nothing they do is particularly clever, they follow a very simple playbook, which is very similar to the Republican/Trump way: say what fits the current situation, ignore/retcon things you've said before that contradicts what you're saying now and if all else fails just make something up and stick to it (e.g. "any doesn't mean all"). Their fans lap it up and their detractors pull their hair out. Its not genius.
Eh?
I think you just proved it is.
Sorry, if you think one weekend saying "You have to leave space" then the weekend after saying "You don't have to leave space" is genius then I can't really help. It works on their fans it doesn't mean its genius. There's a huge difference.
Your "leave the space" argument is everything to do with the rules. You act like it's clear when you have to leave space when there's a 1000 variables to it. Tiny variances can be the difference between getting a penalty or not. Oh your wheel is 1 cm further back than the other at the apex? Penalty. Oh it's 1 cm in front? That's fine then. You're the one overtaking and not leaving space? Penalty. You're the one defending and not leaving space? Carry on. To add to it, it varies from steward to steward as well. It's infuriating. Plus, all teams defend their drivers and try to influence the stewards with their politics on the radio and in interviews. Let's not pretend that it's only Red Bull that try to portray situations in their favour. I can't think of any team that don't. So you can portray Red Bull like they're the devil and that the other teams are holy but I think that's bollocks
What are you talking about? I'm not debating the intricacies of every decision, I'm saying Red Bull demonstrably change their position based on what happens on the day. Remember when Christian Horner was the biggest advocate of "let them race" because being aggressive suited Max in the battle against Lewis, but then any time someone is aggressive on Max he's the first on the radio asking for penalties. I'm not saying other teams don't do it, I'm saying Red Bull and Max are the worst at changing their position race to race to suit. My original point was this isn't "genius", anyone can say whatever they want on the day if they don't care about contradicting themselves. What Red Bull are the masters at is being shameless.Your "leave the space" argument is everything to do with the rules.

f1 quiz question. if one of these cars ends up getting a penalty, which one?
Its been reported elsewhere before and it seems like something right up their alley. At the same time, we ll probably be even less likely to see anything unique about the designs of the cars and it will truly he just a livery presentation. Or alternatively teams will present something completely outrageous for PR alone instead of anything remotely realistic. They seem to truly want to drive away the drivers who are only in it for the racing and go full WWE. Just look at the media machine around Colapinto right now.
Now that would be something to see, both in their prime driving todays cars WOW
No it was an older interview about wheel to wheel racing. I will try to find it again.
Are people still deluded enough to think Norris has any chance at all? Max could go to the beach for the next two GP, come back, still be in the lead of the WDC, not win a race again this season and become champion by a country mile.
Don't rule out George or someone else to at least ruin another pole attempt for Max if he continuous to do his usual waiting for the last possible seconds to do his best run.
Though he already maxed out his allotment for the max penalty right? In other words, the worst drop he would have is 5 places? Would obviously still hurt a lot though given how competitive it is up front.
This. There has been no chance at all with him.
