Vettel can't be too happy about this. He might have two people to beat to win this race.

Yep....Once the Honda engines are gone from McLaren F1 will gain a new team.

Torro Rosso must be beyond depressed.

Herb Tarlik

Honda powered McLaren's are 19 mph slower in the straight compared to a Force India car.

Good god.....

Hamilton on top in Q1.

Surely he must be very much used to these penalties by now. Starting at the back row is pretty common for any Honda powered car.

A lot of very sensitive souls on this thread. Verstappen was silly and petulant. Thats about it. People have said far worse.

You couldn't make it up with Honda right now. Stoff's new unit has gone and is being replaced with yet another new unit.

Must take some balls to post an 'apology' on Instagram.... Well said. He should apologize directly to those he offended. How do you know he hasn't?

Alonso has been handed a 20 grid position penalty and Stoffel has been given a 35 position penalty. Both related to changing engines. Another spectacular performance from Honda. Has even a single Honda engine lasted as long as it has been designed to? I was tempted to post--- All of them :twisted: ...

Is it me or are comments like this likely to mothball a promising career? Surely if even if Max was wrongly penalized, making a statement like this is just going to hamper his career in the long run? There must be a lot of businessmen in the Liberty Media chair board thinking hmmm maybe we should s...

Good for Fred. More power to him.

Didn't F1 cars used to start 3 wide back in the late 60's and earlier? Also, werent the cars 3 wide and also even (not staggered)? When did they drop the old configuration?

Herb Tarlik

Personally, as another Aussie, I thought the pre race US announcement thing was cringeworthy. Absolutely embarrassing. I was expecting the announcer to say "Let's get ready to ru-m-m-mble!!!" Maybe you didn't stick around but he did exactly that :lol: That phrase is a Michael Buffer trademark and e...

Herb Tarlik

I am pleased to see the forum supporting the penalty against Verstappen. The poll result is a landslide in favor of the penalty.

Herb Tarlik

How can a poll option be that the move was legal when the FIA has flatly stated that leaving the track to pass is illegal??

Fans dont get to make the rules.

Herb Tarlik

Pretty open-and-shut penalty, from my point of view. Max couldn't have made the pass without leaving the track, he wasn't forced off track, and he didn't return the position. How is that not a penalty, honestly? Because it goes against the precedent set in 2016 where Verstappen can do whatever he w...

Herb Tarlik

Max’ reaction was childish, buit understandable in the heat of the moment. Nonsense. I've seen many athletes lose at the very last second and had accomplishments snatched away with them. None acted as petulant and spoiled as baby Max. Recall Massa after he lost his WDC to Hamilton in Brazil. He did...

Herb Tarlik

Voted Hamilton on Verstappen. I think that Sainz on Perez, Vettel on Bottas and Verstappen on Kimi were more spectacular and entertaining to watch, but Hamilton's overtake on Verstappen was the most impressive in terms of race craft and execution. For one thing, Verstappen had nothing to lose in hi...

Has to be Max. Hamilton did a fine job, but in honesty apart from one pass, which was very good, his job was management. Carlos also did a fine job, but I don't think he challenges Max's drive. Hamilton did far more than management. He made Vettel look slow. He forced Ferrari to throw the dice on a...

'I hope no fans come to this race next season.' Super mature Max Verstappen, ladies and gentlemen. He is bringing sport in disrepute. Spoiled arrogant brat. What an absolute brat he is. He's 20 years old, and acts like a teenager. He acts like an 8 year old. My son is a teen and he would be miles a...

Herb Tarlik

I didn't mind Max calling the steward an idiot TBH, not advisable but understandable, however, to say "I hope no-one turns up next year" was wrong. Its not Austin's fault and like the presentation or not they are promoting it to be their Grand Prix, they deserve a good attendance. It was an excelle...

@MasterRacer You must be a very fun guy to watch F1 with. Arrogantly boasting? You really see it that way? Then it's going to be a one way conversation I guess.

Herb Tarlik

Looked like a slam dunk penalty to me. I agree all the other off track driving should have been punished too though. Stupid call by the stewards... Max had so much speed on Kimi that he had two choices.... hit him or go off track to not hit him. Brake? I just feel it's harsh to penalise one driver ...

Herb Tarlik

This is mental. How hard is it to enforce rules?! The drivers briefings were eye-opening. I agree with Vettel : "Here's the message to Charlie.. fukc off!" Speaking of enforcing the rules, bypassing the forum's language filters is a violation of the rules. Use your thumb if your blanket isn't enough.
