Piastri was there for the taking on the next lap aswell

Hamiltons best chance of another title was always going to be a dominant car scenario as Hamilton is weak at qualifying but in that situation he would most likely still qualify second and have more chance on race day. Then hope for a 2016 season which might have happened against Leclerc.

Grown adults should be able to speak their mind, and live with the consequences of doing so (in a work environment) if they so choose. I think in this instance Max, and (presumably) Red Bull, genuinely think it was questionable. You are starting from a place where Oscar was ahead at the apex from a...

He should 100% be allowed to to express his disagreement and a penalty and would be allowed to do this in any other sport I can think of. If it happens to often then it starts to question the integrity of the officials and goes into the realms of time wasting, there was a time were if competitors j...

If Max wants to make a total prat out of himself crying about a penalty he completely deserved then he has every right to do so imo Has he the right to berate officials that did nothing wrong though, he wouldn't in other sports. He should 100% be allowed to to express his disagreement and a penalty...

I don't see any comparison that I made. Were you instead referring to the red flags that brough Lewis back from nearly a lap down in Imola? Or Bottas going bowling against Verstappen in Hungary? All good ones but again nothing I would describe as a fiasco ;) :-P What rules were broken by officials ...

F1_Ernie

Lewis taking the win in Silverstone despite taking his title-rival out is hardly a fiasco :-P The comparison you look to make says it all really. I don't see any comparison that I made. Were you instead referring to the red flags that brough Lewis back from nearly a lap down in Imola? Or Bottas goi...

That was bad from Norris, even on the final lap he just keeps trying to go arund the outside and let's himself get run out. We all knew he needed a better drive from turn 1 and to be close for turn 4.

F1_Ernie

If Max wanted to avoid a collision in Monza he had the easy option to steer left which we have seen many times and I have mo doubt the vast majority of the grid would do to Max himself, the collision was always happening once Verstappen gets angry over the pitstop, granted it doesn't take much.

TBF rbirules is deliberately making this ridiculous point deliberately because it's ridiculous. It's to draw a comparison with saying Prost had to beat Senna/Rosberg/Lauda. The point being that with the retirements they had they didn't have a chance to challenge Prost just like Vettel, Kimi and Alo...

FIA deliberately slowed Mercedes down for 2021, this isn't difficult to understand. Only for some. " I can assume that you take the word of team principles when they rate Verstappen 2 tenths quicker than anyone else" I guess you are impersonating these "team principles" Here you go: 180588367711873...

Come on Mercedea, it's so obvious to pit Hamilton

F1_Ernie

Ive barely watched any of this weekend but does Hamilton have new mediums? Surely you would have pit again for mediums.

F1_Ernie

Baku, Spa and Monza was big errors by Mclaren/Norris, races which Max underperfomed or had the penalty and they mucked it right up. Roles reversed and Max wins 2 if not all of them. Those 3 races alone could have been a nice chunk of points. Norris should have won Hungary when Max was finishing lowe...

Truly bizarre how fast merc are here

Mark Hughes article has all the answers.

F1_Ernie

You may want to read again? Where do I write that I expect Norris to beat Verstappen over a season? However, do you seriously think Verstappen would win every single race against Norris? And Norris would never beat Verstappen on merit? Furthermore, can you safely exclude that Norris will get ahead ...

F1_Ernie

I've gone for Leclerc and a peak Alonso and Hamilton. I just think Leclerc would get more poles, convert more of them poles and with a chance to win the title he wouldn't be such a pushover in wheel to wheel combat.

F1_Ernie

Top 3 shows playing for the red flag is the strategy to go for, not good for F1. Always knew Norris is not at that high level and another race proves that, deep down he know he should be WDC this year.

The difference between a good driver and a great one this season. Fingers crossed Max sees it out, I am on for £550 win for the only bet I've placed all season.

Hope it comes in for you

I'm on for a win myself if Max wins.

F1_Ernie

You could see a Max win coming, comeback drives are overexgarated by sky and in the rain Vertsappen was always going to be there.

F1_Ernie

Not much difference between now and before the red flag.

F1_Ernie

Red Bull tactically perfect yet again, Colapinto sure looks ready for that Red Bull seat crashing under a SC that's got to be a grid penalty. Mercedes breaking rules that's a desperate team. I wonder if he crashes if the SC wasn't out because it was clearly not needed. Using a SC because teams won'...

There's Max win now, 12/1 was great odds
Yes a generous bet. I put £50 on that at 11/1

I put £10 on it, told everyone I know to put some money on it and I would make him odds on now.

SC out for no reason

F1_Ernie

Easy podium for Max but I expect a contest for the win

F1_Ernie

All drivers did the same thing so you can't give a penalty for one. It didn't take much for the first few cars to follow and that's no excuse.

F1_Ernie

Recovery drives are not all what they are made out to be, Max will most likely get a podium and maybe contest the win. Cars starting from the pitlane, cars moving out the way so the points loss won't be that bad. For a weekend taking a penalty it will be looking pretty good.

F1_Ernie

Max was out whatever happened but if your not going to red flag sooner then you might as well let everyone finish.

F1_Ernie

After the grid is decided and 3 cars moving straight out the way, with rain I expect Max will win it. It will just come to Max's mindset at the start, so other drivers be warned.

F1_Ernie

Max wasn't punished enough in Brazil or SA 21 just so the FIA can have there end of season showdown with the advertisements already made in advance, he got away with loads. Now Verstappen is being punished so they can have another last race showdown, wierd.

F1_Ernie

When racing a title rival Max shows his not as mentally strong as some might think and he had 57 point lead with around 95% chance of winning the title. This isn't a one off either and it must be so hard driving against someone like Max who is willing to crash anyone out. That turn 7 incident deserv...

Let's have a safety car to punish Max

2nd incident was worse aswell.

Norris having two track limit warnings is ridiculous. Lots to sort out for F1/FIA this winter but hard to imagine anything changing

I've always said F1 is as bad as boxing and anyone who follows boxing knows how corrupt that sport is.

F1_Ernie

Max just races in a way I have never seen before, he takes it to new levels knowing he wont be punished.

F1_Ernie

Some of the penalties today have me scratching my head, Russell's especially. As said before, you can't just hang a car on the outside and expect space - you can give yourself space by yielding when the corners lost. Can only assume the stewards have more data. The data probably coming from Liberty.

F1_Ernie

Max knows how to manipulate the rules and stewards better than anyone. I don't know why Norris just doesn't send one up the inside, i personally don't think his mentally there for a championship, to beat someone like Max you need to race him harder than he races you. It took Hamilton a while to rea...
