Why did he humiliate the FIA lol? He drove a great race, but what does the FIA have to do with it? If you are referring to the red flag in qualifying that Max fan think it was a conspiracy, then this is ridiculous. Would you say there was a conspiracy against Lando to end VSX right after he got into the pits? Would you say it was a conspiracy to red flag the race without an incident just to give Max a free stop? These are ridiculous ideas.

[@MrLiquidxIce]

As a Max fan, the previous race with the 20-second penalty, followed by the sprint and qualification rounds, felt like everything was stacked against him. Every possible setback seemed to have happened, and honestly, I was beginning to lose hope for the championship. But then came the race. It was nothing short of pure craftsmanship, skill, and determination. In such harsh conditions, Max drove with emotions running high, performing miles ahead of every other driver. He showed that it’s not just about the car-it’s about the driver’s spirit and talent. Seeing him fight alone, proving his worth, I couldn’t feel anything but immense pride.

[@2Fast4Mellow]

To accolades the great got in F1 was often after they stopped their F1 career. If you are not a Max fan, you focus more on the extremes of his driving. Max knows the rules very well and is able to read between the lines/rule and continuously finds holes in the regulations that he is able to take advantage of. When pressured, he often drives on the edge of what is allowed (or tolerated). The massive respect for his driving will come probably 5 years after he left F1. One thing that I still cannot explain is why the safetycar came out during the middle of the race. There were some people spinning in turns 1-3 but most were able to keep it on track. The car came out of nothing, no major accidents at that time and to my opinion due to the slow speed, the tires of Colopinto's car lost temperature because of the (relative) slow speed of the safety car, which makes it much easier to spin one of the wheel and turn into a wall.

Today Max also broke the long standing record from Michael Schumacher for the longest consecutive lead in the WDC. It is not a huge thing, but all those records that he sets add up, and it does say something about the unique quality from a driver. These type of records are not broken by every generation of drivers. Last week I said that he made the wrong bet by the way that he drove, today I witnessed a historical race from the same man. I still had the 2016 Inter Lagos race fresh in my mind, so I knew that there was the possibility for something special in these wet conditions, but I never ever could have imagined that it would end up in this absolute Masterclass. Quite frankly I had trouble with controlling my tears, and I never had that issue before. What a great way to silence his critics, especially the very disgraceful British media. (the sky gang).

Someone has to look into the regulations to see if this is a suitable punishment. And talking about corruption: Let's take a look at 2 other situations that weren't even under investigation. Lando went of track and went back on track missing Russel by just a few inches. Dangerous re-entry anyone? It was not even noted. Then the 2nd time he went of track. He would have lost a lot of positions, if it wasn't for the fact he short-cutted turn 2, hit the throttle and went back on track only loosing 1 position. Again: not even noted, let alone investigated. I will not go as far to call the stewards corrupt, but they are defenitely biased. If any of those 3 facts were done by Max, at least one of them would have resulted in a penalty.

Max showed us today one of the best drives ever driven in formula one history! Only 5 other drivers have won a race starting from 17th or more to win the race. Taking in account the conditions of the track and the gap by which he won, it could be well the best ever performance ever period! This is up there to be remembered as the drive of Ayrton at Donington.

[@Funkybassuk]

I’m English and a massive Lewis fan but that was one of the greatest drives in history. It annoyed me so much. 😂👍🏽 Congratulations to Max Verstappen on making history. A very measured, controlled and quick race. He made everyone else look very ordinary or amateurish. Very happy also to see Ocon and Gasly have a good day for P2 and P3. Lando was totally wrong to say this win had anything to do with luck. This was Max doing what he does. Red Bull did well to support him but this was down to the driver. And it annoys me so much. 😂 If Max was a truly dirty driver like some of the legends of the past, he would have been happy to knock people off track and sit back with his points advantage. He drove the cleanest race of everyone and he has said that is his ambition for the rest of the season. EDIT: If Max wins the Driver’s Championship with Red Bull coming 3rd in the Constructors’, that will show the quality of his driving this year.

It really was a masterclass by Max. Lando did what he usually does...bottled it. Charles looked pretty comfortable out there. I'd say other than the Alpines, who were racing with the confidence that they were overachieving massively already, Charles looked by far the most comfortable out there (outside of Max, obviously) WHEN the car wasnt deciding to try to commit sepuku. Overall an excellent race. But something about watching Max driving in the rain is awesome. I mean its always awesome to watch him with his incredible skill, but the rain just hits different.

Insane. The safety implications for ignoring the light and starting another lap while the marshals are still out is huge. Sure it’s just a formation lap but common. It’s such an obvious infringement how is there any consideration to be left? Just hand out the penalty.

@@tycondero1647 FIA keeps saying they hand out penalties regardless of the outcome. so this cannot be an argument. whether there is intended gains or not. its a clear breach of the rules DURING the race and is a clear driver error as all information was given. so it has to be a time penalty. tbh out of logic it has to be a DSQ. because thats what you get if you leave the pitlane when the light is red... sure thats harsh. and sure lando already got fucked enough by the race. and this will all be forgotten because now he wont win the WDC anyways but rules are rules. 5k bro, when im on pole ill just drive the entire race in formation laps and pay 5k per lap. easy done.

I’m Brazilian and a big fan of Super Max . 61 years old . I started to like Formula 1 when I was 17 years old. My idol was Nelson Piquet. For me he was the best driver and a car tuner. In his time there were 6/7 teams competing on equal terms. Much more competition than Senna and Prost who won 15 of 16 races. It was only Maclaren. The same happened with Hamilton who only had Mercedes! That's why he won so many races. I always liked Piquet and not Senna. And I'll root for Max to win many more titles 🇧🇷🇧🇷

[@driesvanoosten4417]

There is some nice discussion between Max and GP under the vsc, about whether or not they need to go to wets. But, remarkably, at no point does either of them consider going in for new inters; they didn't need to. Max knew he could survive on the inters and they could be rather confident there would be at least another sc to give them a cheap pitstop later. This has nothing to do with luck; it is skill and bravery (from both Max and Esteban) to sit out the worst part and give yourself options.
