He is absolutely correct, all the physical barriers were taken off race tracks for diver safety only to have Max come along and abuse the track limits for his own gain.

This is just like how they had to change the safety car rule and the car behind having to give space. Again it was BC of Max that they changed the rule. Max seems to follow the rules and use them to drive unsafe and gain advantages. As I am sure other drives have and will do. But this needs to be changed.. But the other issue is that why are the stewards/fia punishing other drivers for this stuff but when its Max he seems to get off more often then not. Specially since 2021 and beyond.

[@HaydenLau.]

Next time just do the same but brake hard and pull off switchback. Even if you don't get the move done, Max will be off track and he will then need to give the position back

Verstappen plays by the rules. The winning player outperforms others by optimally behaving within the framework provided by the rules, and that's true for every sport. If you want Verstappen's behavior to change, it's the rules that need to changed of the sport in general.

[@mattbilello6229]

We will see how that works for Max today won’t we? Everyone is forgetting Lando passed Max on the straight and was ahead by corner entry and Max was the overtaking car - not defending - by going to the inside and not braking in time to make the corner and then running wide forcing the Lando on the outside to take avoiding action. When applying the rules correctly in that Max is NOT defending but overtaking and doing so in a manner such that he could NOT make the corner on track AND failing to leave a proper space for the car that you are overtaking there would be no penalty for Lando. Stewards did not apply the rules correctly. This corner is so slow speed that you don’t see it as dive bombing the corner but that is exactly what happened here but at only 90 KPH.

I think it should be if the driver defending doesn't make the corner then the overtake is allowed. I get you can still force the other car off the track, which is kinda wrong but then they could always do the switch back. At the end of the day if you cant make the corner, then clearly you over defended.

[@mattbilello6229]

Max was NOT DEFENDING as he was passed by Lando on the straight and Max was actually trying to regain or overtake by braking late into the corner and could not stay on track so he was not entitled to be ahead of Lando at corner exit. Stewards did not apply the rules correctly and ahead at the apex does not mean you are not required to stay on track and not leave a space for the car you are overtaking which is substantially along side even if it’s one if the slowest corners and doesn’t look like a typical dive bombing tactic.

[@simonfuchi6461]

I would imagine the simple solution shoud be that if the defending car goes off the track, the overtaking car can do the same.

The law / rules always have to be changed when a British driver loses especially against Max. You lost in 2021 move on.

[@osheri6265]

Such a dumb statement and I'm saying this as a Max fan. You should not be able to divebomb into a corner to reach the apex first with no intention of keeping your car on track when defending. Take an IQ test please, it might make you think twice about typing again.

[@wreagfe]

@@osheri6265 Max would have had a penalty for track limits, but since Lando actually overtook Max with that radius and being off-track himself it was obvious what lando's intention was with staying outside. Lando was not the victim being pushed outside, he benefitted from it. THAT is why he was penalized.

Lewis is saying what everyone with remotely half a brain is also saying, the ruling are being applied by the stewarts wrongly and this in part has to do with the whole track limits ruling. No way should you be able to push an opponent/rival off track and keep your position, only my opinion but Lando had as much right as Max did to the outer edge of the track and if you look at other parts of the track the two raced side by side because Max knew at those points had held the advantage on the next corner but here Lando had his nose ahead as they reached the braking zone so he simply rolled off the brake a little to be ahead at the apex and then use the rule of excessing track limits to hold the position. It's funny that most other drivers read the rules differently to Max, how often are these rules needing to be re-written just because of his actions. LOL

[@lm240specz]

[@grimbo738]

I dont get it. If Lando would have stayed behind Max or given the place back, Max would have gotten a penalty for running a driver off the track. But since he overtook him, he got the penalty for that. They even gave him 5 sec instead of 10 bc Max pushed him off. This whole discussion seems so blown up to me, gotta milk this titlerace-drama I guess.

[@ΜανοςΦραντζας]

no he wouldn't be given a penalty jst like he wasn't given one in brasil 2021 like hamilton says in the video.Rule is defintely incomplete and max doesn't really care about the racing he just wants to stay ahead so he takes advantage of it

[@kaveeshakarunaratne8961]

Lando was probably very frustrated at that point. Its literally impossible to overtake Max because of his torpedo to the apex tactic. Also, Max almost never gets penalized for his dangerous driving so the team probably didn't have too much faith in the FIA. Trying to build that 5s buffer is better than going wheel to wheel with Max again. He almost managed it to, Lando got it upto 4.1s.

[@wreagfe]

Lando never had the place. Have you ever seen 400m athletic runs? Would you say the guy or girl on the outside lane that is slightly ahead on the first straight MUST therefore also be ahead overall? No of course not, that's is why it's not a criterium in F1 to determine "who's ahead". Whop's ahead is determined in a corner.

[@lm240specz]

The difference here is that Lando gained a position whilst going off track. Max was ahead at the apex & also went off track, BUT, Max hadn’t exceeded the track limits more than 3 time to earn a penalty.

[@mattbilello6229]

Lando doesn’t get a penalty for track limits for being forced off the track by taking avoiding action. Was Lando ahead of Max at the end of the straight each entering the corner? Did Max then try to overtake on the inside by not braking in time to make the corner staying on track? If you can not answer those questions truthfully then it’s not worth talking to Max fans. Max was passed and he was not defending entering the corner but overtaking and he could not overtake staying on track (he could not stay ahead even going off track either) so Max is not entitled to the position and there is no penalty for Lando - not for overtaking off track and not for exceeding track limits because the last time he exceeded track limits was to take avoiding action because of Max.

[@wreagfe]

@@mattbilello6229 Again. There is no rule afaik that determines drivers (mariginally) ahead/behind on a straight, because it's your perception. Who's ahead is determined by the apex. This is not that electric slot car mini racing that some kids had when we were young.

[@saqib7965]

[@xlmoriarty8921]

Sounds like bullshit to me😅

[@BlackCat0315]

The only thing that needs to change is that the FIA need to start issuing penalties to Max for his transgressions. Max was behind Sainz at the exact same place on lap 1 (the apex of turn 12) and came out ahead of Sainz. Nobody called for him to give Sainz the place and he was not issued with a penalty. It was practically identical to the Norris incident but with a completely different result. This is not inconsistency, it is double standards.

[@Er32k]

Utter bollocks..put a graveltrap in each corner and let's see how many drivers take the outside line.They do now because of the run-off areas but if at COTA in that particullar corner would have been gravel,i'll bet Norris would have braked earlier to avoid a crash or the gravel.

"about 4 other races" - name them

[@markf5437]

What happened to the rule about leaving enough space for another car?

[@6MaxSix6]

That applies to civilied motorsports like the GT series, depressingly the FIA have rules that don't insist on this so no such rule in F1. What really shows it up for me is that top sim racers like Jarno Opmeer in F1 Esports do their best to leave that room. Even sim drivers who's health and wellbeing isn't in danger if they crash race in a reasonable and fair fashion.

[@stijnrousch4319]

the problem lies with the way the rules are written. according to these rules if you are defending your position and get to the apex of the corner before the driver who's attacking you, then the corner is yours. apparently this means that you don't even have to make the corner yourself. now looking at the incident between max and Norris. max saw that Norris had a run on him and he moved to the inside. this wouldn't have been enough so he released the brake, shooting him into the corner and getting to the apex before Norris, which means that he was allowed to run Norris of the track and even go off the track himself. I agree that these rules are not what we F1 fans want but at the moment they're the rules we got. the fault lies at the FIA. you cannot blame max for what he did because he did everything within the rules. I too want the Fia to change the rules because this isn't fun the watch. but again, it is not verstappen his fault

[@sMooVe1982]

That only applies if both cars are leveled at the apex of a corner. The rules as they are now are written so that if the car on the inside is ahead on the apex, it's that car's corner and that car can be placed wherever you want to place it. No need to leave any space since the car which isn't behind at the corner doesn't have any right to it.

[@I-Niemand-I]

Ask Rosberg

[@richardvi]

So good to see that Lewis, immediately after his rookie-retirement, found the time to put in three earrings, two nose rings, two necklaces and probably some other jewellery and still found time to criticize the way others drive. Respect.

[@kaveeshakarunaratne8961]

Nearly 90% of the drivers and all of the TPs spoke against the FIA and Max. The VCARB drivers too. Its impossible to race properly with this '1st to the apex can do anything he wants' logic.

[@richardvi]

Have you ever raced yourself? Overtaking your opponent outside is always, always a risk. If your opponent holds his racing line, you will always end up off the track. And you are entitled to hold the racing line, if you are on the inside, and ahead, it's your corner to take. If Max would have just stayed in between the lines, the result for Lando would have been exactly the same: off the track. It's part of defending to keep the inside line, and yes, this makes it more difficult to overtake. Which is the point of defending. It has always been like this in racing. Now imagine a rule change in which the right of way would be granted to the car on the outside. The next thing to do then is to make sure you are always the one to brake the latest and if your opponent on the inside holds the racing line, you can always say you were blocked. Take the Max-Lando move from last week. There's no way we can say for 100% sure that Lando would have made the corner at that speed. It could be that Lando also was to late with braking and went off the track. It can not be known, as Max was blocking the corner. We have to assume Lando would have made the corner, but that assumption would leave a massive hole in the regulations if this rule would be changed. To summarize: Overtaking a car on the outside can only be done if you have past the car before the apex. If you have not done this, you will always risk getting pushed wide and need to back out of the move. Try your luck elsewhere, preferably a place where you can manage to get on the inside of a corner.

[@wreagfe]

@@richardvi Agreed. Somehow other driver DO manage to overtake. It's a skill issue for Lando. Let's not blame the rules and the drivers that drive consistent with these rules.
