People need to understand that "opening up the corner" on the racing line does not equate to "moving while braking" or else everyone would be getting multiple penalties every race. Every driver that's taking that same corner moves left to open up the corner because it's so dam tight. Lando had no self preservation there, he didn't even open the corner up himself by going on the curb to make his line better he simply drove straight into Max. there's the same thing that happened to Max in 2022 or 2023 against a Ferrari, the Ferrari car squeezed max the same way with less space to open up the corner and Max awarely avoided collision by moving over the curb to open up the corner more to set up a switch back and overtook with DRS down to 4. Every defending driver "moves under braking" and yet it's rarely penalized, just look at the onboards every race. What this conflict was was just hard racing by Max and Lando was reckless, he dive bombed in the inside so much that 2 of his track limits infringements were a result of him overcooking and going off the track. If he kept on the track he would have overtaken Max.

The penalty against Max was well-warranted but imo the move he pulled after the collision where he nearly ran Lando off the track into the grass just to be petty should definitely be looked at

It seemed to me like Max was moving off the racing line for the Alpine that was coming at full race speed to me tbh

[@BamblingsofNaffy]

Thank you for posting bits and pieces from Silverstone on YT. I am gutted I won't be there but this helps!. Have the best weekend! lots of love x

I'm not mad about Max getting shit for hard racing. What is rubbing me the wrong way is that Lando did the exact same thing to Max in Barcelona by cutting across the track and pincering Max in. Which was also super dangerous because on the other side of Max was a *barrier* so he had nowhere to go. But there wasn't a single word or complaint about that at all last week. Lando can rightfully be upset about what he feels is needlessly dangerous racing, but he should probably learn some self-reflection too.

[@EliYis]

Why should Max give leeway to Lando? It's a championship and a competition. Expecting Max to throw a race just because he has a large lead? That's not how Formula 1 works? But I do feel for Lando cause, to Christian's point, this is the first time he's really gone up against Max Verstappen the racing driver who is fighting for the WDC. That's a very different Max than Max Verstappen his friend. It's a hard lesson to learn.

What a race Austria 🇦🇹 had so much drama Lando DNF 😳 and max missing out on a podium

[@charmedbops]

Needs a little more volume, especially on Christian's side.

[@slopat2503]

Christian, you F1 expert pundit, tell me this please: Did Max turn his steering wheel to the left or did he keep his original angle to the corner?

[@erikvermolen8371]

'You said: ''Verstappen was moving underbraking or he was moving the tiniest bit before braking'' Well isn;'t that actually ESSENTIAL to decide he was moving under braking. Funny thing is, he didn't get punished for moving underbraking, was he? it's just another British talking point, copying each other and setting another negative narrative around Verstappen. He is being attacked by the british media since he started winning from the british. It happened to Alonso, to Vettel, to Rosberg and now it is happening to Verstappen. The toxic british will come after you, because how dare he, to win from the britishh?!?

[@ingridvaneijk2097]

Exactly well said. Actually dangerous Peopke if you think about😂😂

[@erikvermolen8371]

Norris putting Verstappen on the grass last week, the british: all fine. Norris divebombing this race, where if Verstappen does not move they crash: all British: perfectly fine. Hamilton driving into another driver every other two races: all brits: yep that's fine too! The sheer hypocricy and narrative setting by the british f1 media is unfair, undecent, toxic and for everyone who isn't a blind british fanboy, insufferable. The British don't realise it, but everybody outside the british hemisphere are well fed up with them, this sport deserves so much better than this constant toxic british narrative.

[@ingridvaneijk2097]

👏👏👏👏finally people with comon sense

Pay attention because There is no change of direction in the braking zone. The road climbs up, the car slows down by itself, a driver brakes late. The trajectory is in a light diagonal veering to the left. Verstappen positioned his car in this direction before the start of the climb, then steers straight on this line and there is no change of direction. Certainly not under braking. Look at Max’s onboard, check the steering wheel, check his hands, check the exelerating and braking indicators/the green and red lights! There is not any proof of all the accusations. Max Verstappen was driving correctly but all the anti Max hunters, like Mr Buxton and Mr. Stella are prepared to cut him down. I dislike this publicly calling for a manhunt discusting. It is the terrible sentiment for a lynchparty. It resembles the worst kind of calling for an execution in the hate-days of the past. ONE SHOULD PROTEST AGAINST THAT SORT OF HEATING UP THE MASSES.
