I’m no huge fan of Max, but feel over the course of the season he or Lewis would be worthy winners. The way this was decided, however, has left a sour taste in the mouth. Not since the Indy race have I felt so let down by the governing body. This was a bad day for F1.

yodasarmpit

So with 4 laps left with Lewis ahead 12 seconds or so , Max not keeping up and likely taken too much for tyres with his low DF set up we have a crash .. Masi decides that the fairest thing for everyone is to orchestrate is so Max on fresh tryes and can get all that time back and "Race " Hamilton be...

Masi is an embarrassment

yodasarmpit

That was absolutely disgusting, either every lapped car gets through or none - Masi has been a nightmare all season.

Anyone else think that Verstappen stuck it to his critics today?

Pole by 0.25s in the most important qualifying in his young life, way to answer the naysayers...

I don't think there is a sole, who has watched F1, who doesn't agree the kid is supremely fast.

yodasarmpit

Looks like he’s lost the plot https://www.telegraaf.nl/sport/1851492597/max-verstappen-over-lewis-hamilton-als-ik-in-zijn-auto-had-gezeten-was-seizoen-allang-beslist Do you think Hamilton is afraid of you? “He will never admit that. At least I'm not afraid of him. Yeah, I think I'll make him nervous...

Anyone voting Max must have watched a different race.

yodasarmpit

Max is feeling the pressure, will have to give that place back.

yodasarmpit

I believe (someone on here or Reddit told me the other week) that they can’t give a grid penalty for the next race at the final race of the season. To answer your question, the punishment should be something that means they don’t win the WDC and I’d also ban them for the start of the following seas...

Hamilton has ben notoriously bad on first laps, but generally down to his poor getaways. Although over the last few races he seems to have sorted that out.

yodasarmpit

Neither, Max should have been instructed to give up the place - punishment enough.

yodasarmpit

That was a bit desperate from Max, had Lewis not bailed out there would have been another crash.

Even though, brilliant race.

yodasarmpit

I’ve kind of stuck with Lewis for most of the year, but the reality is Max is driving the wheels of the car- struggling to see how Mercedes and Lewis can pull it back now.

yodasarmpit

Never been a Lewis fanatic, but the booing is becoming boring.

Max, whilst obviously in the fastest car this weekend, has clearly matured to the level of competently driving towards a world championship - he is defo the top driver this year.

yodasarmpit

As ever, once Lewis got within a couple of seconds of Max, his car failed to perform well enough in dirty air. It's the age-old issue that has ruined races for decades now. You have to be significantly faster, not just a bit faster, to get within DRS range, especially as the back straight in Austin...

yodasarmpit

Max and Lewis were on a different track to the other guys.

yodasarmpit

Holy carbon footprint Batman!

yodasarmpit

I’ve flip flopped all season long on this one, but over the last couple of races I feel it’s Hamilton’s to lose.

yodasarmpit

I previously had Max and Mercedes, but now just tipped over to Lewis and Mercedes - but it's so close I wouldn't put money on either.

yodasarmpit

Actually embarrassed by some of the comments in here.

yodasarmpit

Haven’t changed my mind, still like it - but think it needs extended to half race distance.

yodasarmpit

Well that was a hell of a lot more like it.

yodasarmpit

His starts are terrible, so many times that alone puts him on the back foot. It's costing him, but not really something new - he's not been the greatest starter for a while.

yodasarmpit

I feel this race could be a turning point, if Max can come through on top and win I don’t think there will any stopping him for the rest of the season, but if Lewis can pull something together then the momentum could well be with him. I really think this one can be a test of Max’s character and grow...

Confirmed no further action for Verstappen: https://www.fia.com/sites/default/files ... 0flags.pdf

Rightfully so I would say, he had no time to react to the flag call.

It's better to cancel than run for 2 laps behind the safety car to get half points.

As much as I'd be ecstatic for George , it would be a travesty if points were awarded without any racing laps

yodasarmpit

Yeah, I think trying pin the blame on Norris is the biggest stretch I've yet to have read on these or any other forums.
He was ahead for a good 3 seconds, this one is firmly on Bottas - it was a mistake, costly to both him and Red Bull.

yodasarmpit

Sainz and Schumacher - these two were the toughest choices. Both very similar in that one driver put it in the wall and lost the chance to fight his teammate on Saturday, his teammate was then out the race by the time it restarted, and the driver who suffered on Saturday then had a strong, combativ...

Surely Mercedes have messed up not going in slicks
Can't instruct on formation lap.

Yeah just heard that on Sky, so it was Lewis’s decision - ouch

What the hell were Mercedes thinking

https://i.imgur.com/cKmRI4g.png https://i.imgur.com/5b4bYAo.png Still finding it hard to believe there folks out there saying Lewis wasn't along side Max, he was side by side approaching the corner- and as Alonso say's he can't just make the car disappear. Max needs to accept the highest share the ...

So, turns out the sprint wasn’t a projection of the full race after all.

yodasarmpit

Hamilton, recovering from 10 second penalty (perversely for getting hit by main opponent) to chase down a surprisingly fast Leclerc.

yodasarmpit

Max cut across in the full knowledge Lewis was there, no more complicated than that. Why do people continue to post lies even when all evidence is against them? There’s overhead pictures that show that Verstappen left Hamilton approximately two cars of width down the inside. The idea that Verstappe...

Max cut across in the full knowledge Lewis was there, no more complicated than that.

yodasarmpit

Max turned right hitting Lewis’s front wheel when Lewis was up along side, there is nothing more to than that.

There was no mad dash down the inside, just hard racing.

yodasarmpit

So .. now I know the exact race pace pecking order. Can't say it's made me hyped for the race tomorrow. You know the rough pecking order on a single tyre type, with 1/3 tank of fuel and no strategy (so a bit like regular qualifying but added wheel to wheel action) - really not sure how so many seem...

yodasarmpit

Brilliant format, looking forward to the next couple and hopefully more of it next year. Not sure if sarcasm or...? Certainly not sarcasm, really thought it worked well - who the hell doesn’t want to see some more race action. The fact it’s just 30 minutes of a full on push is great, and now have t...
