Badger36 summed it up very well on Piastri above. To add on a bit. Piastri's form has been off of late no doubt, but it's hard enough to win a title against other drivers/teams. Even harder when you're fighting with your own teammate and knowing he is likely favored within the team. It's taking its...

FormulaFun

It certainly raises the question why they weren't able to find the performanc in the car before quali and clearly the car was good, maybe a missed opportunity for Max to win and continue his title charge

Looks like FIA Stewards are being paid by Zak Brown who want Lando to be Champion at any cost Zak brown is paying the FIA stewards to penalise his own team... Comment from McLaren is very telling. Instead of defending their driver as expected from every team, they say "it is one of those penalties ...

Its a shame Verstappen couldn't have figured this setup out on friday would have been very interesting

Stroll oblivious as usual.

Lewis doing his best impression of Stroll.

Didn't see but what i heard is Brundle say that Colapinto made a late jink if so he should get a penalty

FormulaFun

Piastri has been absolutely awful since italy, never seen a driver crumble so badly as far as I can remember

FormulaFun

Yes, perhaps I am looking at these incidents through modern eyes, those chops are now par for the course, everyone does them. As for taking out, this was apparently meant as a retaliatory move, with Verstappen as usual being painted the villain. I didnt paint him as anything... he made the threat h...

FormulaFun

This is a joke, right? The incident happens in the same lap that Russell catches up to the safety car in turn 10. Well played by changing your tack and talking about crashes. Yes, drivers have been known to steer into other cars and that is definitely not limited to Verstappen. Yes he catches he SC...

FormulaFun

Very intimidating, but something what I would not consider trying to put another driver "into the wall". The incident between Schumacher and Barrichello was much, much worse. It was quite big at the time, the guys at the pit wall had to take their pit boards down as they got scared of hitting them....

FormulaFun

Well, let's agree to disagree here on Russell's driving behind the Safety Car, because you and I see things very differently and I for one do not believe Russell's explanation at all. As for Verstappen dishing it out on the track, that is how he races and if Verstappen thinks another driver is pull...

I don't remember Prost or Senna ever trying to put each other "into the wall".

FormulaFun

I don't think Russell has a particularly bad reputation on the forum, but that he has very few vocal supporters. Now I do think that Russell prides himself on taking the fight to Verstappen to prove something and that explains his driving in some instances. I think he often gets criticised for thin...

FormulaFun

Whatever you say. Of course when Verstappen is involved, Verstappen is responsible. Seems rule number one for some. I didnt say a single word about Verstappen, but you mentioned Russell's supposed erratic driving quite factually but realistically he did nothing erratic and evidence proved he did th...

FormulaFun

Whilst I do not remember every instance, Russell certainly did in the Canadian Grand Prix. In fact, that was the sole purpose of his erratic driving behind the safety car. I don't remember many instance of Verstappen asking for penalties for other drivers, but I could be mistaken? Russell didnt dri...

FormulaFun

All drivers complain all the time. This is because it works to some extent, which is of course a real shame, as the Race Director and Stewards should act independently. Verstappen complained about Leclerc running into him on the restart at the Spanish Grand Prix and in the end he was right to have ...

FormulaFun

I don't like your accusation; I will never simply default to any driver calling for a penalty. It is a tactic just like any other. If you know the regulations better than I do, I will gladly acknowledge it. So tell us all what Verstappen did wrong under those double yellow flags, as I asked already...

FormulaFun

Not for me

FormulaFun

This is what happens though when there is a mounting sense of injustice driven by awful racing guidelines, inconsistency in their application and no logic in the severity of the penalties given - it used to bother me a lot but im so apathetic towards it now after ~5 years of the same fairy cakes, wh...

FormulaFun

Im also a bit unclear why Verstappen was able to keep track position on Hamilton according to the guidelines after cutting the track at turn 2/3 chicane (after the crash). Hamilton was on the inside and his front wing was more than in front of Verstappens mirror, i thought that this meant he had the...

FormulaFun

Not getting this reasoning. As I said, he gets alongside with the Ferrari way before braking. But then got squeezed. And couldnt brake properly due to one tire hitting dirt. At worst it is a racing incident since cars inside also had other things to check. And, in any case, he gives back the positi...

FormulaFun

Very interesting

FormulaFun

Bet Max is wishing he didnt lose his head in Spain now... might come back to bite him

Tbh watching this back, verstappen should have given position to Russell, dont see how he doesn't get overtaken in t1-2-3 section, seems silly you can bank your position at the end of the huge run to t1 by not making the corner sequence. Leclerc borderline should have gotten a penalty, was pretty eg...

Wasn't it Hamilton pushing Verstappen off? Think Verstappen forced Hamilton off first then Hamilton did the same at the next corner.

Hamilton should have just followed the escape road guidelines and hed be better off, not sure why he didnt

Not sure if favourite is the word, but if I had to put my money on one of them, at this point I genuinely have the most faith in Max to bring it home he is the only consistent one and I dont think Norris or Piastri have the minerals Crazy that Verstappen even has a chance, theyve both been crap this...

FormulaFun

At this rate Verstappen will win more races than either McLaren driver. I think Russell and Leclerc could be critical to this fight now. I trust Verstappen to consistently clear them, but can Norris or Piastri? GP Wins in 2025: Oscar - 7 Max - 5 Lando - 5 George - 2 Norris is the worst over taker o...

Whilst I agree that it was a racing incident, that was not a smart move from Piastri. He took a very acute angle with massive risk and ended up taking a bunch of cars along for the ride. It wouldn’t have surprised me had Piastri gotten a penalty, probably avoided because of lap one turn one and the...

FormulaFun

Its the same with Spa, driving from outside and cutting across to the apex in the inside is just gonna get you wiped out 9/10 times and its nobody's fault, theres no rule that says you cant and so nobody should be getting penalised, its just that lap 1 requires spatial awareness rather than driving ...

FormulaFun

Not gonna lie that stupid cut back people do in Austin on lap 1 turn 1 as if there are no other cars there is nust moronic.

I said the same when Sainz did it a couple years ago and imo got himself taken out by Russell, though Russell took the blame for it
