He didn't beat him though, Verstappen was beaten until Masi gifted him the title, the ttle was a gift and your words won't change opinion. Unfortunately no amount of moaning and crying will change the fact that Verstappen scored more points than Hamilton across 2021 with a slightly weaker car, desp...

I don't agree that Max bottled anything. He is an agressive driver and his actions had nothing to do with bottling in my view. Also, to say that he had the title handed to him does rather a disservice to his performance across the season. I was as gutted for Hamilton as anyone over that final lap a...

Interesting that a major french racing magazine has run with the front page that Lewis Hamilton is the 2021 WDC... Thought it was just the British that were crazy fanboy/Verstappen haters Because he really is. Max had it handed to him by a race director more concerned with the show than the rules. ...

I'd say it's max who is ruining lewis' legacy.... He hasn't done a thing to Lewis legacy. Could only best him this year because of a farcical decision by Masi after Lewis had given him a driving lesson all afternoon. Anyway Max hasn't even got a legacy yet. Will see where he ends up when his career...

Pity, but you have to imagine the FIA have approached them behind closed doors and agreed a non disclosure settlement. That's my thoughts and am not surprised they have dropped it. Still thing the FIA need to be held to account. Anyway, Hamilton is an 8 time World Champ in my eyes even though recor...

Daily Mail reporting that Mercedes aren't going to take it any further

sidders

I think they should. Not so much to overturn the result (LH is the real champion in my eyes) but to hold the FIA to account and make sure they admit that what happened shouldn't have. The integrity of the sport needs that

sidders

I think it needs to be appealed for the sport. Perhaps it's a distraction that Lewis and Mercedes don't need with the technical changes next year but it's so important for the sport that the farcical decision is challenged

sidders

Been watching F1 for 35 years but am undecided tbh. This season has had its ups and downs but yesterday was a massive down. I have serious concerns where the 'sport' is going and it's not the F1 I love anymore.

sidders

Masi sequence: 1). Message all drivers that lapped cars will not be released, As a result Lewis stays out, Max pits. 2). U-turn that decision once Max is back on track and the pack has collected. Lapped cars will be released. 3). Assume divine powers to release only some of the 8 lapped cars. A new...

sidders

Expected outcome tbh. Can't be seen admitting they are wrong. What a joke

sidders

I think it was right decision to race even though Mercedes was in disadvantage with back-marker out of the way . It could have happen the other way round as well if Max was in Hamilton position. That is how it happens in sports :-| It was never the right decision to move some unlapped cars. It went...

No it wasn't Max,'s fault but wasn't Lewis's either. Depends on if you want a sport that plays by the rules or one that makes it up as they go along

Tissue sales must be through the roof.

I see the supposed motorsport fans would rather the race finish under safety car instead of seeing actual racing.

What we saw wasn't racing. Was a totally manufactured situation

sidders

F1 needs to remember it's a sport first and foremost What you really mean is that F1 is supposed to be a game , first of all - where the outcome is decided based on the player's own behaviour (within a structured environment), not a judge's opinion which turns it into a competition . Which is also ...

Yep total joke. Lewis had given him a driving lesson all afternoon then that gets taken away by some, what seems like, make it up as you go along officiating. Nothing against Max as he only used the situation to his advantage. I know who I will be seeing as the real world champ though

sidders

Yeah. Max felt quite good about his race pace. Not so much about his one lap pace. Maybe, RB have around 1/10 or so on Merc on race pace. I didn't see FP2, so don't know what SKY's analysis showed. EDIT: SKY's report says that Max was "much faster" (whatever that means) on race sims. He was on soft...

sidders

He has a horrendous sense of entitlement. Thinks he can drive how he likes and everyone should accept it as fair racing. I really do hope he learns otherwise I think Martin Brundle will be right when we look at his legacy

sidders

That's bold - he may prove you wrong in the next four days! Sorry meant in the same car and yes I know it's subjective He’s ahead 21 races into a season with an inferior car on balance so I don’t see why not. It's not an inferior car. Yes Mercedes seem to have an advantage now but RB have had the b...

sidders

I don't think Max would beat Lewis over a season. Sure he will beat him in a fair few races but he isn't the complete package Lewis is. Yes I know he is a lot younger but he has been in F1 long enough now to learn. Maybe it will come in time and people remember him for his driving and not his on tr...

At the start of the season I was pretty ambivalent but now very much in the Hamilton camp. In a way I find Maxs antics sad. He is such a good driver and potential to be an all time great. He doesn't need to resort the tactics he is employing. I am not sure he will change either because of this massi...

sidders

They needed to make a statement that his style of driving will not be tolerated. Yes it would most likely cost him the championship but perhaps it might be the lesson needs

sidders

Get in Lewis, get in there. You just cant afford to get close to Max in wheel to wheel racing. Max doesn't do wheel to wheel racing In my opinion, he absolutely does it - exactly the same as Lewis does. They both play chicken (test the other's nerve) and then get mad and blame the other guy when it...

Verstappen is a joke of a racer

I don't think you can call him a racer

sidders

Interesting. Bottas needs to step up tomorrow instead of the usual wave them by

sidders

They won't do anything. Slap on the wrist I expect

Absolute joke. Basically saying that if you are on the inside you can do what you want ( except if you are Hamilton at Silverstone ). It was a penalty all day long and really do worry what this will now mean for the racing There was contact in Silverstone though. One incident is crowding a car, the...

sidders

Not surprised by the decision. What were they gonna do? Say that they messed up in the first place. You rarely see that in any political sporting environment. Max's comments about Merc showing their true nature is appalling. The lack of self awareness is unbelievable! Not surprised as he has this m...

Just read on Twitter that Red Bull are surprised that Mercedes went ahead with their protest. I guess they feel that only they are allowed to air their grievances. At least Merc is not getting someone to simulate how Lewis could have avoided going off the track! They should hire Albon since he has ...

sidders

The precedent had been set numerous times between you can and can't crowd drivers off the track. Look at Lando and Perez. And then look at Lewis and Rosberg. Lewis and Rosberg was a lot worse but precedent set doesn't matter. Skysports are reporting he's looking at a 3 point penalty and not a grid ...

sidders

I think a statement needs to made. Max has got away with it for too long. A stern warning wouldn't do anything. They need to hit him where it hurts. Saying that, I don't think Mercedes will get anything from this and expect no penalty for Max despite the evidence

I do not think there was anything wrong with Max defense. it was hard racing. Though if they both had crashed may be Max would be blamed more or probably got penalty. I also loved how Perez got the position back with Hamilton but obviously RBR had no answer today to speed of Mercedes. I think Hamil...
