Here is Verstappen


Note his excuses.

It's fine - it happens. Not an issue, but for him to go on social media with his statement after what happened yesterday was not just stupid and childish but also massively hypocritical.
No driver is as aggressive or dangerous as Verstappen.

I agree that his venture is immature (all social media is dumb).
However, I can understand his frustration. Lewis was 100% at fault and he kicked out his championship competitor, fixes his car during the red flag, surpasses bottas on team orders (I dont think this should ever be allowed, but whatever) and goes on to win the race. This is not looking good on the sport.

I can definitely understand his frustration too.
Hamilton was too aggressive.
He's been on the receiving end too of many situations that have cost him races.
These guys have to be a certain way or they'd never be in their profession.
There is always moaning and attempts to shift blame in F1, but the social media statement was just beyond the pale - especially how quickly it came. So reactionary and really not well thought out.
We can go back and forth on an internet forum as fans and react, but Red Bull should know better and be a lot more professional.

Funny how Lewis is getting all the blame.....they went through it all on Sky from various angles and decided that both drivers could have done more to avoid a collision. My immediate thought was that Lewis was to blame, but once I'd seen all the replays, it was clear Max turned earlier than he needed to, knowing Lewis was right there beside him. Clearly he was trying to force Lewis to brake, rather than maintain his position on the left of the track.

Anyway, great entertainment!

Yeah, it's racing.
Frankly these things are going to happen when 20 cars or so are racing around a circuit at 200mph!

Bring on the next race - would like to see Verstappen and Hamilton on the front row of the grid!

Hopefully max can rub it in to Lewis himself when he lifts the trophy at the end of the year.

Bottas takes out both Redbulls.

How do you even punish this?

At this point, Max should just ram into Hamilton after the restart

If I was red bull I would send Perez on a hunting mission any chance I got.

absolutely.

Hamilton restarting on its own was one of the funniest things ive ever seen in F1 though

[jayramfootball]

Hamilton heading towards the front.

[Goonerred]

Hamilton still experiencing some health issues after he had contracted covid. He said he felt fatigue and mild dizziness.

Nice to see a new driver win.

Hamilton takes the Championship lead.
If he wins another, must go down as the greatest of all time.

Without doubt.

Greatest British athlete of all time.

Yeah was hilarious, could almost see him shitting himself inside the car as well lmao

Good strategy recovery from Mercedes to bring him in early for hards though, made up for that blunder.

At least we got to see a lot of Alonso for a change and why he's still the best driver in F1.
