    Well Max was right and the team was wrong. So I'd say that kind of hurts the trust you say he need to have for the team.

    Yes, his actions and the resulting additional penalties on top of the single penalty being risked certainly illustrate that point. Just goes to show he cares more about being right than his team doing well.

    Does actually speak a lot for Max's abilities as well, able to judge exactly how far along Russell was (nt) whilst doing all the racing driving stuff as well. But the people with more camera angles didn't. Spare capacity he's got for all of this says a lot.

    No hindsight needed, Nico saw it live and analyzed it correctly. So did I. They have the ability to replay everything instantly and also have multiple eyes on the race at HQ. They totally dropped the ball. Maybe their worst screw up I've ever seen honestly. His reaction was, ultimately, stupid and entertaining. But they caused the issue with their total incompetence.

    Yes his attitude is terrible. It has only won him 64 races and 4 world titles. Best for him to change immediately.

    Nice guys finish last.

    Nico? Rosberg? The Nico Rosberg that said Max should be given a black flag? Or the Nico Rosberg who faked a car problem in Monaco and then took out his own teammate on his way to a title he refused to defend because he knew he couldn't get away with it a second time? lulz.

    And one point away from a race ban because he can't keep his emotions in check. /shrug

    and jos verstappen beat the **** out of max and his mom, so we should all look up to him as a shining example? there's more to life than winning especially when you needlessly put people's lives at risk.

    Yes, world champion Nico Rosberg. LOL.

    The black flag was in reference to the retaliation, not the initial contact which was initiated by George. The stewards also confirmed Max had done nothing wrong with the initial contact.

    LOL. Yes, that definitely trumps 64 wins and 4 world titles. Excellent point.

    We are talking about with the helmet on racing, drama queen. Max didn't put George's life at risk, LOL.

    10 sec penalties for 50g punts into the wall probably needs reviewing.

    "Causing a collision" should differ from "Causing a retirement"

    FIA is asleep

    For sure there are differences which should be reflected in the penalties.

    Max tried to put him in the gravel, but George was able to slow it down and stay on track. Wonder what they would have done if Max had succeeded in putting him out of the race. Guess we will never know...

    probably a 10 second penalty, same as Hamilton @ Silverstone
