@@BMPHF1 Honestly, I partly agree with MBS that F1, like any sport, is part competition, part entertainment; after all, it's not an educational exercise. However F1 leaders need to keep in mind that *the entertainment comes from the competition, not from a particular result being obtained (like finally having a different champion after years of domination).* Forcing a specific ending might be entertaining in a scripted production, but in sports, it spoils the show.

[@Rellz2401]

I think the FIA not handling it in 2021 and redbull not holding max accountable for his racing in those moments has led to this and as you said it was a long time coming. Max is a brilliant driver and alot of the over aggressive driving is unnecessary but at this point he's not gonna change bro wasn't even that bothered with 20 seconds worth of penalties so this is gonna continue happening I feel.

Maybe I'm wrong, but the stewards and race direction should treat every driver equally, shouldn't matter if it's a battle for a win or for P16, the principle should be the same

[@kwakuSM7]

It’s also the inconsistency and unfair nature of the FIA. Clearly for them, the outcome matters more than the offense committed. And also the higher the stakes are, the higher the revenue and audience meaning more entertainment for the FIA as well. I think it’s just pure corruption from the FIA. They’re just a bunch of money-hungry pricks.

[@somefrog6089]

While I do think that Max can does go too far from time to time, I also think that Lando wouldn't have to deal with him if he just drove better. His car is faster. He should be starting every race on pole and securing wins.

[@lucasrego3874]

Even tho i kind of agree with you, you are missing an important detail. Even if lando gets every pole from here on out, as we have seen before, it just takes max being close to him in the start, for him to dive bomb and take him wide unless lando takes an insanely inside line which would likely make him lose positions to whoever is taking the outside line (rn probably a ferrari).

[@piggyback3637]

There is a fine line between aggressive racing and dirty racing

[@BMPHF1]

Very fine line for sure

[@seanalexander1984]

First, I'd like to point out - and I'm going to age myself here - the 1994 season for Michael Schumacher was probably the greatest season of any driver in Formula One history. Keep in mind I'm a huge Lewis Hamilton fan; he's the greatest driver of all time. But watching the 1994 season, every single race, combined with his statistics, was incredible. Schumacher was in the zone every race; he didn't finish lower than second except for two retirements and four disqualifications. He only had 12 races to compete for the championship. The last race in Australia, where he ran Hill off the road... if you were him, you'd have done the same. Fast-forward to 1997; that was stupid and purposeful. He knew he was under scrutiny for 1994, which I feel was justified. Both years, he was punished for behavior the FIA deemed inappropriate; I only find 1997 justifiable. What's the difference between then and now? Keep that in mind. Regarding this upload, it's entertaining, but we know what it's really about: Max Verstappen, the 'great white hope.' This narrative is a black eye for the sport and doesn't represent proper racing. Sky Sports and British commentators, especially Martin Brundle, supported this narrative, which is sad and speaks volumes about the Formula One community's mindset.

[@BMPHF1]

Do you reckon Max Verstappen in the 90s would have been better suited to the style of racing then than this era? Considering rn, there’s nobody on the grid that races people as hard as him

[@seanalexander1984]

I feel that in the 1990s, F1 cars (approx. 500 kg) carried much more speed into corners. Honestly, Max Verstappen's driving standards would likely have had disastrous consequences back then. Considering the tragic 1994 incident involving Senna, feedback from drivers highlighted two key issues: 1. Excessive cornering speed 2. Low cockpit sides, leaving drivers exposed (almost a cut-away design) So I would have to say no, but to be honest, I found that to be a very hard question to answer and I have to think about that one for a bit. A lot of pundits feel that MV’s driving style is very adaptable, but in terms of aggression that certainly would’ve been a formula for disaster in the 90s. What are your thoughts?

[@vitreo1363]

I definitely get the feel that what Masi did in AD21 was stunning in it's reach to bypass not just one but TWO crucial safety procedures in the closing minutes of a race that Lewis looked set to win and lock his 8th title with it. The incomprehensibility of the FIA's decisions, from the stewards to the FIA itself, leaves little room for sensible explanations save for the most gross and reprehensible of possibilities, given the fact that it was Lewis Hamilton, the first and only black driver to compete in F1, who was about to claim exclusive right to the most sought after and elusive record for any athlete in the sport… It still sickens me to the day that the FIA, claiming to be a neutral arbiter of the pinnacle of racing, deliberately changed the rules mid race, and changed the results in the process, just like when they did it to Senna back in '89.

[@goblieasfda]

On the other hand. It'll be a moment that's replayed and talked about for decades. Even people who didnt care about F1 were hearing all about it. The fans got one of the most entertaining (even if just because of pure stress xD) endings to a season ever. From a business perspective. Fuckin brilliant move. And it cost the guy who did it his job 😂 I honestly doubt it was an evil plan against hamilton. There's been plenty of cases between him and max where it does just seem about even on who gets punished the most. I think Masi saw that he could make the ultimate move in his entire career. And if he had to be the villain for that, he would. Whether that's a good or bad thing is a whole different debate. But yeah, if they specifically wanted hamilton not to win the championship then they wouldve guaranteed that outcome a bit earlier than the last lap of the last race in some way

[@emp.splash]

I didn't even know they released braking data from the Jeddah 21 incident. Not surprised, cause we all saw that race, but wow! Years later, all the stuff that went down in 2021 is still haunting the sport, not surprising. Many of us said that would be the case. One driver emerged from that season as The GOAT, while the other as an asterisk champion. And all the clouds of suspicion floating around Max's titles since then (doesn't matter if there's legitimacy to those suspicions) are also a direct result of 2021. I don't think Max has the maturity to even realize what a hollow title he won at Abu Dhabi that year and how much that will weigh on his career forever. While my man Lewis is pristine af! :-))

[@emp.splash]

Also, for all those people bringing up the Silverstone 21 and how many points Max lost that day, may I remind you that he got a free win and half points in Belgium that year for doing a parade lap. For me at least, that was the point when I realized that championship was stacked. If the stewards really cared about not influencing the championship with stewarding decisions (which is what people bring as an excuse for all the stuff they let slide with Max), then those points should not have ever been awarded. Not to even mention what happened in Abu Dhabi.

[@Domenicxx]

Don’t hate the player hate the game. Until we have consistent stewards max would be stupid to change his approach.

[@BMPHF1]

The stewarding is horrendous across the board tbf. The way decide penalties just doesn’t make sense. Max mostly operates in the grey area of racing which is fine. But then sometimes it’s over the limit as well

[@Domenicxx]

@ I agree 100%. We literally seen Checo pull the exact same move on Stroll (turn 4) and he didn’t receive a penalty which just causes more confusion and makes it seem like they were making a example out of max because of all the controversy the previous race in Austin.

[@FormulaProg]

This British bias thing always grinds my gears, it doesn't even mean anything? It's such a lazy arguement. Brits are probably the least patriotic when it comes to formula 1 out of any country, I mean it's not even politically correct to be like that over here anymore sadly. Not to mention the fact that F1 broadcasters which are based in the uk such as sky, have always broadcast their coverage to the rest of the english-speaking world. So they've always had to rein in any preferences they had for English or Scottish drivers. When you watch even ITV from the early 2000s and compare that to any other country that commentates on formula 1, you'll soon realise that there is actually no bias at all and we do a pretty good job of being neutral. Sometimes it's even annoying, I wish they would get a little bit more behind our drivers but I understand why they don't anymore. "International" and trying to please everyone, goes hand in hand with modern sport considering it's so popular everywhere now, look at the premier League as an example.

[@DenUitvreter]

You're dilusional. Brits can't do international sports without foaming at mouth with British supremacy. There is always something wrong with the foreigner that beats a Brit. Verstappen, Rosberg, Vettel, Schumacher, they all cheated, were dirty drivers, got lucky, were rocketship merchants, had massive straight line speed while cornering is a gift exclusive to that special breed of Island people.

[@raventhefrog2086]

You could kinda already see some of this driving in Austria as well. After Max and Lando had contact in the corner (think of that one what you will) Max came back on the track, went across the whole track to cut Lando off and even try to push him on the grass because he knew he had a puncture. That as well was just a poor move imo.

[@danielzolfaghari]

I'm not going to defend Max in Mexico, but comparing it to Silverstone 2021... I mean, the corpse is literally one of if not the fastest corner in the calendar. So, a 7-time world champion with 14 years of experience at the time, surely didn't have any malicious intent to put a wheel inside the corner. Sure, he didn't know he could've continued but he had to be sure as hell that it would be a DNF for max if not worse... If that's not enough, I just reference literally every other lap that he did wheel to wheel with others like Charles, even in the same race. Would you still call it not malicious? 😅 Seriously? If you want to criticize a style of racing, sure but don't try to sugar coat or defend one driver and give it a free pass. As for the "running other out of the road", again criticize the style not say that Hamilton didn't do so before. I mean, have your forgotten the battles between him and Nico? He literally admits in the interview with BBC in 2016 that he did that on purpose because "the guy on the outside has to back down". So, please criticize the style all you want but don't try to defend or sugar coat or give a free pass to some and not the others.

[@divinasi0n]

This video is about Max and his being enabled by the stewards' response to his 2021 antics, not about Lewis. I don't agree that Copse 2021 was premeditated either. Maybe there was some subconscious understanding in the back out his mind that there would be a collision, but we're talking about just a few seconds to process thought here while Lewis was focusing on and reacting to Max's car ahead. Actually i think the real crime of that Silverstone weekend was Lewis's shameless showboating with the British flag after the race. I'm a supporter of Max, but that doesn't mean I am not blind to his antics, entertaining though they are.

[@lukewood2662]

Lewis did Silverstone 21 on purpose. I just think he wasn't counting on his car surviving that as well. He was about crashing if that meant some respect on his name from that point on, which Max wasn't giving him any. He felt wronged by Verstappen until that point and did what he did. I see his point. And Max felt wronged by him and the rules and later on did what he did. I see his point as well. And that's what all drivers should do, sort their stuff out in ANY way they see fit until the rulebook promotes an environment that supports fair racing, which this one does not do. They can barely define track limits, let alone ensure tough but fair racing and fair consequences for driver's actions.

[@BMPHF1]

I disagree that it was on purpose still. Newey on the High Performance Podcast said the same too. But we can agree to disagree and that’s fine. As you say, it was a clash of heads. Lewis up until that point I don’t think expected Max to be SO aggressive. I’ll admit a few times Lewis left the door so wide open, I knew a driver like Max would take advantage. His aggression actually helped Lewis lock-back-in in wheel-to-wheel combat and both at some point were super stubborn. Then when Lewis had more to lose towards the end, that’s when Max decided to go berserk.

[@vitreo1363]

I can say he purposefully dove into the corner _with the objective of getting ahead…_ Which is a worlds away from claiming he purposefully dove into Max's car with the intention of causing a collision, bumping him off or in the most smooth brain of suggestions, kіllіng him.

I think the biggest issue is the FIA, Max drives dirty yes but only because the FIA is a confusing mess. Stewards give different penalties for the same actions during a race, they give less penalties depending on who is a steward that race, they also clearly do care about the outcome and who commits the offense even tho they claim not to. Like they clearly judge the championship rivals more harshly, because they want the gap to stay close to get more interest in F1. Also some stewards have clear conflicts of interest, in Mexico one of the stewards is the son of McLarens founder and Johnny Herbert is affiliated with gambling companies. Not saying they gave Max unfair penalties, the penalties were deserved without question, but I think it is bad for the sport for people who do have a conflict of interest to be in charge of giving out punishments for rule breaks

I can't blame but feel that Max felt he was done dirty before, so why shouldn't him now? (not justifying it at all, but understanding his point of view). Besides Lewis celebrating his victory like a madman and not carrying for a second how Max was doing; even if he thought it wasn't his fault (which it was) he should have asked how he was. I completely agree with your take on Max, but disagree very much with Silverstone 2021, Lewis got a slap on the wrist there.

the precedent has been set atp and I think the only thing that will make it stop is a race ban so if the FIA really want to throw down the gauntlet on Max’s dirty driving then that’s what they should do. it would also make for “good entertainment” cause Lando would have a chance to really make up some points on Max…just sayin 👀

[@VG61]

The more penalties comes his way, more points as well on his super license, believe me, he will at least start to think twice before pulling such moves again... Why??? Strong penalties PAINS...

[@averagegamer4975]

W Video. I'm glad somebody will call him out and others for his bad driving and how the FIA have created a monster with the way he drives. The FIA need to start using the black and white flag and the black flag for the way he drives and puts others in danger

[@SIDDIQUIMEZHGAN]

love your stuff man but i half agree. max for sure drives on the edge but never against the rules. he knows the rules through and through and uses them to his advantage. if there is anyone to blame, it’s the fia for not making the rules stricter. it’s a champions job to extract everything they possibly can to win within the rules, and max does just that. but if anything most of the controversy that happens with max and rules is purely because fia is THE MOST inconsistent organisation ever. not a single rule applies the same to every single driver

[@user-mc8ys9hb3z]

Been told cry more since 2021 because I called out Max’s just dirty racing. Every one wanted to see Hamiltons crown toppled. Didn’t care how it happened. Now we cry about what we prayed for.

2:15 I feel like Charles gets special treatment or something tho fr like why is it kill everyone when they’re battling you for a championship but Charles is fine?😂

[@BMPHF1]

When a championship is on the line he would do the same to Charles. It’s just that it’s never really got to that stage between them yet. It will come tho 😂

[@bestwifman]

@ I guess so. Charles has been defending Max’s driving quite a bit lately in the media. It’s be interesting to see if he still has nice things to say if he’s the guy Max is driving like this against😂

[@MrVish6666]

[@DenUitvreter]

Charles is not British. Somehow the one that beats the British driver is always a cheat and a dirty driver that has "the car build around him or otherwise favoured by the team. Charles was challenging for the title in the first half of 22 too, but they did not have issues. British drivers and their media had issues with Rosberg, Vettel, Alonso and Schumacher. Verstappen is an issue to the British drivers only. So apparently the British are the problem and not Verstappen.

[@nathancorfield2609]

While yes max is absolutely over the line, as a Ferrari fan I will absolutely take it as max is basically being a 3rd Ferrari driver at this point

[@pedromegashit9999]

[@mariegamer2146]

the whole pushing each other off has gotten out of hand. Just bacause you are first at the apax you can just push the other driver into the wall. Max goes to the extreme with it. I say all the time you have to leave a space.

[@abhishekranjan420]

If the pundits and commentators found 2021 horrendous driving by max fair as they badly wanted a new champion, then this yeas battle with norris is no way near that level , and m afraid norris isn’t Hamilton so he would not be able to survive and compete at the same time

[@Charleswarburtn]

9:30 there is no way the fia should dock points off any driver for that. A ten second penalty was justified and a fair punishment. Also, i dont understand how you can criticise max, but call the penalty at turn 4 harsh, then say you dont care. I agree the fia has set bad precedents and ahead at the apex is a stupid rule that max exploits unfortunately well. The continuous calling for dsq’s which are rarely seen and only in the worst and most damning of incidents (excluding car problems), as well as docking points, seems very harsh and a bit too far for a driver who exploits the rule book well but sometimes goes past the limit. An argument could be made for more penalty points, however this introduces more scenarios where the championship could be decided based on a few minor incidents that really shouldn’t result in a race ban. The current system is designed to prevent deliberate dirty driving or you get a race ban (kmag), so the best solution could be ditch the ahead at the apex rule and have consistent stewards (same at each race) and choose incidents where the drivers agree fair penalties were given in the past, or should have resulted in penalties but didn’t (the drivers call), to draw precedent from.

[@adrian3355w]

Senna and Schumacher did the same. I bet Lewis would like to be racing against Max at the front again, and not be in position 6 and up in the slow Mercedes car

[@AquafreshX]

Vwrstappen as a driver is extremely bad at utilizing track position compared to Alonso for example. The guy is just pure speed and anytime he must race someone in a slightly faster car, his only way of "defending" is taking out the faster car. Italy, Brazil 2021 and Norris Austria, USA and Mexico 2024. Hell even racing Ferrari back in 17-18 was a bad...

[@DavidJohnson-dc8lu]

For the life of me, I don't know how Max fans praise his it's all or nothing aggressive driving, say the sport will be boring without Max, then cry about Silverstone, British biasness and his penalty at Mexico all in the same breath. It is like America INVADING a defenseless country and crying when the people of the country fight back. It is like they want them to an aggressive beating, but you must bend over! Watch Copse, drivers don't really take that turn side by side that close, the outside driver tends to back out more often than not if the space is too tight between cars, Max didn't. wheel contact, and nhs HOSWPEETAL. The only way to make Max behave is to lock away Jos. We all know Max has childhood trauma from being dumped at an Italian gas station.

[@As-qz5lr]

Silverstone was the equivalent of using missiles as a reactions to rocks being thrown and Hamilton intentionally missed the apex when Verstappen was ahead. And Hamilton got the same penalty for it, putting Max's life at risk, as Max for pushing Norris off the track. But Brits have always assumed their lives are more valuable than foreigners so that is not a surprise. Brits also defend all the dirty driving committed from Hamilton throughout his career and then have the audacity to complain about Max. That's why everyone thinks you guys are untrustworthy, hypocrites and support whoever is against you, whatever the situation. I actually think Max should have got a stop and go pen for Mexico but thought the same for Hamilton in Silverstone.
