Jenson is the only one with a valid take on this. Everyone else is blowing this entire thing out of proportion, between speculating on lando and max’s friendship, whether max is “back to his old ways”… it’s hard racing. Sometimes it works out in your favor, sometimes it doesn’t. Max isn’t the only one that drives at the limit, or pushes it, accepts the penalty, but the margin of victory is a big enough gap that it doesn’t matter. If lando holds a grudge about it, it will impact his future races.

[@schwabit989]

Jensen needs to replace David Croft.

[@willyhwang1059]

max was defending lando was attacking that's their JOBS!

[@TheRip72]

Exactly. Sometimes you go "a little too far". The alternative is driving within yourself & not giving it everything.

[@V8VRUte]

So refreshing to see one of the pundits calling it like it is. Did Max move? Yes. Could Lando have avoided the impact? 100% So considering that BOTH drivers were involved in the collision, then it should have been a racing incident, with no penalties to either driver.

[@jamesmenzies402]

No because How else do you pass another car without being along side a one point? Moving in the breaking zone is dangerous and max does it all the time he purposefully jinks left causing the other driver to either react and compromise his line into the corner allowing max to hold position and get a better drive out the corner or dont react and both crash.

[@tomvincent2832]

In what way was Lando to blame? because he didn't get of the way and say no no after you? Max moved toward Lando making him totally responsible, his actions, his line caused the contact

I think pretty much every former driver, other that Anthony Davidson (who was kept away from the grid by most of the teams he worked for), has weighed in to say it was just hard racing. On the other hand, those 'analysts' & 'experts', without a racing background, have decided Max was to blame. I know who I'll listen to!

He's right, not sure why people are making a big deal of Max moving over for the crash, that's just hard racing and Lando probably should've just moved onto the curb a bit. I think Max moving really late to cover off the divebombs and especially not giving the place back after Lando's successful divebomb were more egregious

verstappen wasnt covering off the divebombs in their collision, he was stopping lando from getting a switchback

[@adityavipradas3252]

Agreed. I am a Max fan and agree that he certainly went over the line by not giving the place back to Lando. This is reminiscent of Abu Dhabi 2021 where LH went off the track on Lap 1, gained an advantage and never gave the place back to Max.
