Max Verstappen: One of the greatest of all times

I don't think there can be any mitigating circumstances for using your car as a weapon - I thought he was badly treated (by his team) but that's really no way to react.

 

Enlightenment me on how Max used his car as a weapon when both cars were axle-to-axle as per the rules.

 

If you deliberately drive into someone then you are using your car as a weapon. Not sure it really needs explaining, but then this is F1 I guess.

 

M Image Unavailable, Please Login Max's first seven seasons in F1... he was consistently voted by all the other drivers as most likely to hurt or kill another driver.

 

Max didn't deliberately drive his car into Russell. Max got his front axle next to Russell's front axle and Russell drove into Max as per the rules. Max didn't lock-up going into the turn. Russell "assumed" Max would give way but didn't.

 

You misunderstand. I'm talking about when VER 'gave' the place up, not the original touch.

 

So Max does all the algorithms in his head with complete accuracy and timing to figure out:
1) Speed of both cars
2) Weight of both cars
3) Mass of both cars slowing down going into the turn.
4) Knowing the rotation of said wheel to his rotation of said wheel to launch his car at that exact moment to land on top of Hamiltons car.

I'm really impressed.

 

So there was 2 incidents with both Max and Russell.

One happened at T1.
The other happened at T4.

Which one?

 

There are men here that are bigger crybabies than Max by far. Bunch of Darens seriously

 

100% lewish entitlement’s fault

 

@Mark(study)
That was then. Rules have changed since 2 cars going into the turn have to be axle-to-axle.

So are you basing your post on the past? Or the present?

What they are not saying is who was ahead at the apex of the turn? Was is car 63? Was it car 1? Were both axle-to-axle?

I saw Russell's front left wheel hit Max's right front wheel so they were axle-to-axle then which is by the rules.

Max didn't have to give the place back to Russell

 

This can be verified, but Max' engineer told him on the radio they had no choice.

This was apparently the only set of tyres left ?

Red Bull had a strange tyre strategy today.

 

That is wild, Rb really had the wheels fall off with such a good race up to that point

 

Max had a choice a could have stayed out....but didn't.

 

The return of Bratstappen... I thought he had matured but I guess born white trash forever white trash.

 

Meh, he did something incredibly stupid and emotional and paid the price. The only person he really hurt was himself. Hardly the big deal everyone is making it out to be. No where near the impact of Copse in 21.

This isn't pickleball you know.

 

We have seen many F1 drivers "go off the rails" in the past-->Schumacher, Vettel, Leclerc to name a few.

 

RB - more stupid not possible.

Oh, wait ...

And people complain about F's crazy strategies.

 

They obviously have a problem with how the situation was created. RB should appeal it.

 

I was talking about no choice OF TYRES, not the race strategy.

I don't know if Max decides the strategy during a race, or follows instructions from his team.

Most of the time, drivers like a pit stop during a safety period car to have fresh rubber at the restart.

Remember, Max won his first championship that way (ask Hamilton!).
