Yes, lots of other top drivers have had an amount of arrogance, but come on, a 6th place finish instead of 7th when you already have the title...

Asphalt_World

Perez played the team game to help Max win the title last year and Max with the title won can't do him a favour back ..Let's hope he doesn't need a favour somewhere down the line . So are Merc back or this just a track specific pace ? I think it's slightly to do with them sorting the car but as the...

Asphalt_World

They know apex speeds etc, maybe Max was simply not making turn 2? :thumbup: Verstappen oversped into the second turn to torpedo himself into a naturally closing gap. I think it's a recurring theme at this point that Verstappen has no respect or willingness whatsoever to defend or race cleanly agai...

Asphalt_World

If you need any proof verstappen is a totally selfish sod, that radio message was it. Which one? Near the end, the last lap I believe, the team repeatedly told Max to give the place back and Max was silent for a while. He then told them that they should never ask him to do that again as he had expl...

Asphalt_World

It is beyond belief that Max would act like that when he's already WDC, the team has the WCC and he gained nothing more than a 6th-place finish instead of a 7th.

Perhaps his ego is so fragile that the thought of finishing behind Perez was just too much to take.

Asphalt_World

The amount of people using Perez's history of races, his tyre situation or whatever, as some kind of defence for Max totally and utterly ignoring his team for points he does not need and a race position that means nothing to him, is astounding.

Asphalt_World

Nothing poor about not implementing team orders for any of the top 3. Those complaining that Max should have let Perez though... why? Sainz didn't let Leclerc through and the mercs were free to race. Ultimately this is how it should always be. Perez let Verstappen by TWICE in Barcelona and didn't a...

Asphalt_World

For those defending Max and talking about tyres. the simple fact is, his team told him to pass and chase so Perez allowed him to pass without any time being lost. Max then refused point blank to honor his team and teammate. Perez finished well ahead of the car behind so Max could easily have let him...

Time for Perez to get selfish & stop being Verstappen's servant.

He's not quick enough.

Asphalt_World

Max not giving the place back. Who'd uv thunk it?

Asphalt_World

Imagine if Max overtakes Perez!

Asphalt_World

Blimey. Perez lucky Leclerc backed off there.

Asphalt_World

Come on Max. Let's not worry about lapped cars having to follow any rules.

Did we even need a VSC for that considering where the car was parked?
The exact place K mag and Ricciardo crashed

Yep. It doesn't matter about anything else. You can't race with a car stopped somewhere.

Asphalt_World

Well. This is nice and spicy. If ever we see how money gets in the way of spectacle, it's the fact that the season doesn't end at a brilliant circuit like this.

Asphalt_World

As a Ferrari fan, I support those currently driving for the team, but not the drivers specifically.

At what point exactly does a supercar become a hypercar?
My understanding was that Hypercars would replace LMP1, but initially at least would be slower - is that right?

This is a good read.

Extremely beautiful car! Who is going to drive it? Ferrari haven't announced their drivers yet but they are saying that they will come from witnin their existing GT drivers. From a purely sentimental perspective, it would be lovely to see Vettel and Kimi driving it. So would I! And I have to add I ...

Verstappen & Ricciardo

Ric made a truly shocking attempt at a pass.

Asphalt_World

I'd love it if Ted Kravitz was doing the podium driver interviews!

Asphalt_World

I love Alonso's passion.

Asphalt_World

Safety car. Let certain cars through. Give LH new tyres.....

Saying that, Bottas looks to be nowhere pacewise right now. Lost 5 seconds to ricciardo in just 2 minutes.

He's on fairly new softs compared to Bottas on older hards.

Asphalt_World

As has been pointed out by Brundle on Sky, so many drivers just make pointless comments to their team.

Well, sad for me to say, but again, Bottas' race pace seems to be falling. Zhou is looking quicker despite making a slow start.

They are on rather different tyres.

Asphalt_World

Before anyone gets at Mercedes for using hards, do you really think Lewis had the pace to beat the Max on like-for-like tyres? I didn't.

Asphalt_World

I fear that Max will pit for softs and catch Lewis at a crazy speed.

Asphalt_World

what decides the pit lane order for the teams? Is it the driver standings from the previous year as Mercedes are still first? I just thought for a moment that if this is the case, that will change nest year. Constructors standings - but I think sometimes the champions are last rather than first. I ...

his the sacrifical lamb

And the Earth is flat.
Come on...

Asphalt_World

Well, that caught me out. I guess that Mercedes figures that they can't beat RB like for like so have to try something. With Ferrari so far off the pace, the worst they should get is 3rd and 4th, anyway.

Asphalt_World

Amazing that RB is allowing LH to close back in a bit. RB must feel forced into completing a few more laps.

Asphalt_World

Russell to win today, heard it here first. Well, lets see, he's nearly 10 seconds off Hamilton now. Getting pushed off the track by Hamilton didn't help. It was a perfectly OK pass by Lewis and having seen replays of the start, GR seemed far too cautious through the first 4 or 5 corners.

Asphalt_World

Can't believe Gasly hasn't given place back.

My biggest frustration about the graphics are when they stop showing us the gaps on the timing tower

Agreed. There is simply no need not to show times.

Asphalt_World

I can't stand it when they have double DRS zones with just one detection zone.

Asphalt_World

Well done Ted. Took one for the team!
