I'm not sure that's quite what happened. I understand that Ocon had just pitted and was on new supersoft tyres so he wasn't being lapped, he was unlapping himself because he was faster at that point.UnlikeUday wrote:Verstappen assumed because Ocon was getting lapped, he would slow down but Ocon continued on his pace. Shouldn't Verstappen seen his mirrors or just been cautious enough to give him some room nonetheless?
Will Verstappen face some heat for physically shoving a driver? I doubt but it could've gotten more violent!

Max needs to grow up, regardless of what happens on the track. Excessive swearing on the worldwide broadcast is one thing, but getting physical with another driver crosses a line.
Plus he's a fairly small guy so he probably shouldn't be picking fist fights.

The great irony here is that a lapped Jos Verstappen punted Montoya out of the lead at this race 17 years ago...
Re: 2018 Brazilian Grand Prix Race Thread

Well the Stewards "bottled it" with Vettel's penalty, let us see if they have the courage to penalise Verstappen much more severely for his assault on Ocon.
That sort of behaviour should be totally unacceptable.
( Likewise it won't do Red Bull's image any good - so they have a challenge to openly discipline him. )

Why don't we just remove the blue flags period? The drama would be ridiculous.
I was really surprised by Lewis today. What he did on those tires was really impressive. Thought for sure he was going to have to stop again. Also Kimi showing great form. Shame he only has one race left with Ferrari.

Re: 2018 Brazilian Grand Prix Race Thread
hahaha. Verstappen. "the penalty says enough that he was wrong" Not the his exact words as i can't quite remember. I know that he's right. But when he gets a penalty. No no no, that is wrong. he did nothing wrong. what a joke. He seems ok about this one now, but i like the way he said the penelty proves ocon was in the wrong when he never accepts blame when he gets a penalty for somethign he's done.
He had a great drive today but i absolutely hate his attitude and personality. Got to say that I'm starting to really dislike alonso too. The team made a mistake but he looked like he didn't have a care in the world after that. almost looking like he was trying to get in the way of the leaders. Clearly not using all his pace. with an attitude like his, he should
be giving his replacement for next year a practice race.

He got excessively physical. One shove was crossing the line, but to keep doing it was really foolish. I would imagine some drivers throwing some punches if the same was done to them. Ocon kept his cool surprisingly well.

Re: 2018 Brazilian Grand Prix Race Thread
This was not a usual duel. It was a car that was 2 laps down, I don't remember seeing a backmarker going side by side into corners with the LEADER.

Idiot of the race is certainly Ocon, and whether there is some hidden story behind in it, or he just wanted to race, now even does not matter. He stained his name for a long time, if not forever.
Impressed by Max, the only guy who made a show today. Vandorne and Hartley showed some spark, too late obviously.

So in general I think Ocon was wrong for being so aggressive as a lapped car when dealing with the leader. That said, Max absolutely took unnecessary risks by being as aggressive as he was. He should not have been so severe with his driving there and he should not have lost this race.
Re: 2018 Brazilian Grand Prix Race Thread

Max is the biggest idiot and will probably never win a championship because of that.

It was unfortunate incident. But the way Max driver I can see him getting involved in many incidents. RBR though were amazing in the race. They seem to have so much grip than others. Ferrari strategy to use soft tyres really din't work in the race as I thought.

Re: 2018 Brazilian Grand Prix Race Thread
Ocon was told by his team that he was allowed to unlap himself. He actually asked for permission and they said go for it. I guess you can blame the team for that if you want. But to me it doesn't even really matter, because cars are allowed to unlap themselves if they are faster at any point, and Ocon was faster for 2 laps reportedly. So to me,it's just another example of of the "get out of my way" verstappen driving style gone wrong, which has and will cost him many positions in his career if he doesn't adjust it.Bacus wrote:This was not a usual duel.

Plus, he basically announced it over radio, so it was deliberate. IMO, a one-race ban for Verstappen would be appropriate.

You're missing the point, it's not about whether you're allowed or not to unlap yourself, you are. Just that it's not a normal duel, you can't muscle into corners like its for position.

I think you're taking this in a biased way because it's Verstappen. Clearly the stewards thought otherwise.
The driving asperities which Max has are nothing compared to his huge talent. He will be fine.

Regardless of who was in the right... at the end of the day, Verstappen gambled and lost a race he should have won. He could have let Ocon take the corner, knowing that he could repass him on the straight that followed.
As Hamilton told Max in the Green Room, "You had more to lose than he did." This is the type of reasoned racecraft that emerges with age and experience. Hamilton has it, Verstappen doesn't (yet).

Lewis did have a few incidents earlier in his career, but he took the criticism on board and learned from it. Verstappen is not, and the people around him are not helping the situation by stroking his ego and telling him he's done nothing wrong whenever he does something wrong.

Re: 2018 Brazilian Grand Prix Race Thread
If Lewis was in that position instead of Verstappen, that accident would have never happened. Obviously Verstappen is very young so it's natural he may not always weigh the risk of his actions, but because of his mistake he didn't deserve the race win in my opinion. Yes, Lewis was lucky but the Ocon/Verstappen incident could have been avoided. His behavior with the shoving was completely unacceptable and he deserves a penalty for it.

Ocon is the idiot of the year. It doesn't matter how much pace he had, he should have stayed out of Verstappens way.
Verstappen drove a mega race today and had all the right to take his line like he did. Ocon should have given him the space.
And then the drama because Max "pushed" him ? Come on .
If Ocon had any common sense he should appologize to Max big time.
