If Max has his head on, he just needs to hold Norris up enough to negate any chance of him catching Ferrari. But seems Max in?

Nik (@Rood) and Imran (@Annihilate Now!) discuss United's fantastic win away against Athletic Club in the semi-final of the Europa League.
They also pick out the positives of United's 4-3 loss away at Brentford, and Nik reviews a day out at Old Trafford watching Manchester United Women qualify for the Champions League.
Horrible stop for Max.
You love to see it
You love to see it
Pit. He was traumatised.Norris in DRS
Fireworks coming!
But this is the exact issue right? His team enable him. They are too arrogant to give that place up as they are too busy convincing Max he drove well. It’s a multitude of factors.
Verstappen will probably end up 6th here, Norris if 3rd only loses him about 7 points outright. So crucial it was not to let Norris win here
20s penalty and he’s still ahead of Perez 
Perez is pathetic.
Perez is pathetic.
Max still ahead of Perez even with his 20 sec penalty
RB as a team have completely imploded. No way Max will stay with them.
Let’s see what Norris can do VS the Ferrari’s with free air. Doesn’t appear to be making a dent initially.
Feels like Sainz is doing his best driving for Ferrari now that there is no pressure for his future there.
Perez got damage due to his antics with Lawson20s penalty and he’s still ahead of Perez
Perez is pathetic.
Has he ever been “bad” in it though?
Not sure it's that simple in that case. I presume they didn't expect the second penalty and in that case I guess not giving the place back makes a bit more sense.
I know, but still. The optics are enough to at least
Worse than first, certainly
. Not Perez bad, but he did have his stints of not keeping up with Charles last year.I think it’s safe to assume at least 1 penalty and it still would have made sense. It’s never “simple” in F1, but it was as simple as it gets in this case and other teams are much more sensible. As I said, lots of factors, but RB operate in a ridiculous bubble and it’s obvious.
Now if one of these back markers could trip Max up and make him dnf to make the championship more exciting...
To make the last few races, we really need a Norris win. I think Max will make 6th minimum. Obviously any SC and all bets are off
hamilton to channel some 2021 frustration and just turn his car into a max dive bomb.
Max winning the championship despite having a shit car and even shitter teammate, while exposing himself and not being a boring dullard who only wants to defend his lead, is why he wins so many hearts. My GOAT.
Are they do? Merc made plenty of stupid decisions like that and McLaren did just last race. Let's not even bring up Ferrari
Yes probably why Verstappen doesn't care about the consequences when all he needs is stop Norris from winning
Why not Box Piastri?
Who said it was a dull race
Madness that Piastri is still out there.
I like him because he's openly an asshole. Not like Hamilton and Norris that try to be likable, but then turn to assholes as the first sign of adversity.
Is leclerc too far behind in the championship for Ferrari to order a swap in the latter stages of the race if they are still 1st and 2nd?
Max is going to get a solid haul of points here
Lawson has to get Perez's seat next season. Big fan.
About sums it up for me. Not a fan of media darlings when their teams or the drivers themselves are using them as such. Like in footie I've always liked players more who basically show up, do a job and go home.
Sainz won't obey it.
colapinto’s steering is a lot like my wanger.
And he shouldn't. Still feel like Sainz was done massively dirty by Ferrari. Imho he s more likely to ever win a WDC than Leclerc. His massive weakness though is that he always manages to lock up somewhere when being chased and he isn't the best of starters.
Rain coming?
Lawson is one of the most impressive rookies of the last few years.
helmut marko present to see perez pull out all the stops at his home grand prix.
OH maybe a chance of some rain , that will shake things up
He was done dirty but I don't think he's more likely to get a wdc than Charles. He is a bit inconsistent.
