@@IAmKry one of my favorite moments was in the cooldown room where Max pointed it out to Lando by saying “you don’t think when we are alongside it slows us both down?” And Lando was having none of it. Like he may have said it nicely but I think Max was pointing out that Lando screwed himself over there (after all Max still won) And then in the press conference after Lando was asked if he gave enough space. He said something to the effect of “I didn’t have a tape measure but I feel like I did.” What was notable is that both max and Lewis looked at each other and just started laughing.

[@tonyhawk123]

No, Lewis did not react with aggression to everything like Max has always done. The two are not remotely similar. In the first few years of Lewis's career he held his own from the first race against a multiple world champion in equal machinery. By contrast Max was bumping into other cars and crashing out in over 50% of races - recall the crashstappeb era, before other drivers just started diving out of his way for self preservation. Not, remotely, at the same level.

Had he not "ended his career" the way he did, he probably wouldn't even be spoken about today nearly as much and have the reputation he does. Prost was the superior driver of that era (out scored Senna in both of their two seasons in the same car) but because he wasn't as much of a risk taker and survived, nobody really talks about him. Had things been different, I really do believe Senna would just be "another great", perhaps similar to an Alonso or a Vettel. Unpopular opinion, I'm sure but just the reality of how our opinions can be warped by external events.

[@Ruylopez778]

If Norris had approached the outside like Verstappen did overtaking Sainz in 2023 (where Sainz was in a similar position, less than a car's width from the white line) then he could have made the cut back on a tighter line. But he didn't do that because he was frustrated that he'd failed to get the position while he had the tyre advantage. Norris also needed to abuse track limits to even get close enough to pass, so I don't have any sympathy for him. Sainz or Leclerc would have handled that situation better. I don't recall seeing any battles when Norris has shown he can race.

The collisions tend to involve Russell and apparently Norris, who make clumsy moves when they get frustrated.

Lando could technically move to the kerb and still on the racetrack. there's still plenty of space on the left which is kerb, but it up to lando to move there.

[@peterdiepstraten5897]

Crofty reads out the applicable rule. Then defines "irratic driving" as moving twice. Then accused Max to have moved twice.. which Max didn't do, in none of the occasions during the race. Max did move once in reaction to Lando, which is allowed (and basic racing imo). This is not Indycar. Note also that Lando would not have been penalised for track limits in the crash incident if he would have moved a bit more to the left. That would have prevented the damage to both cars and Lando would have passed Max easily when then switching to the inside line. Lando was entitled to a full cars width (hence the penalty for Max), but it wasn't smart racing. He would have had 5 seconds in hand and could have even stayed behind Max. Max did put Lando on the grass after the crash, which could be in retribution, but could also be caused by the damage on the rear left. Only Max knows. Oh, and one last thing... remember Silverstone 2021? Was St. Lewis the villan then?

[@3y4g34g4gh]

Complete British bias. They keep saying Max moved under breaking. But the rule is no dangerous driving. And Max's VERY minimal change in direction hardly amounts to 'danger'. Also this biased comment about that Max left no car-width. In Spain Norris left Max no car-width at the start. But Max avoided a collision by putting a wheel on the grass. Lando should simply have done the same. Time to add some non-British commentators to balance it out.

Watch the Peter Windsor video, he got the whole spot on. My take on the whole thing. It was exciting racing. We need more of this and less interference from the stewards, and scrap the silly rules. Before the point of contact one thing was true: Lando was about to get a 5 second penalty for track limits, so he knew that, so why for the love of motor racing did he think putting his car up the side of Max was going to end well. At best Max would come over left and then turn right to take the racing line, thus squeezing Lando. Lando would have to take to the side of the track to avoid contact, thus going off track, thus getting another track limit penalty. Lando knew that, so decided to not move and CONTACT! That was always going to happen.

[@nickt4200]

[@marcowijbenga7901]

Lando’s penalty occurred and what he did was prior to the incident and Lando knew that he had an automatic 5 second penalty for breaking track limits 4 times. He was well aware of this and became even more desperate rather than taking proactive action by driving accordingly. So the fact is that at that point Lando was 5 seconds behind when he attempted to pass. Lando did not need to turn into Max as he had every opportunity to brake and slow his car to avoid an accident. Sadly he chose not to because of his immaturity

[@everydaydose7779]

It wasn’t clever racing from either of them. They had about ten laps left with Max struggling on tyres with Norris noted for leaving track with a quicker car.

Completely agree. Teams didn’t inform their drivers in a timely manner, also because the stewards didn’t do a timely job. Apparently Lando had already violated these track limits four time after receiving an official warning, before the stewards finally penalized him. But just in time for McLaren to do a 5 second stop just before retiring the car.

[@peteraa4418]

Stewards procrastinating as long as possible to give Norris the 5s penalty for track limits. It took what, 3-5 laps for something that was obviously his 4th strike. Had they just acted in a normal and timely fashion Norris would come over the line first and be on the second step. As for the racing, jinking by Max was ugly, as was Norris' trying to bomb a corner he was never going to make. But thats racing I guess and what happened happened.

I don’t have a dog in this fight, but can say that I much preferred it when the corner belonged to the person leading. This business of having to leave space on the outside is so counter-intuitive to racing. When I used to do club racing in the days of the dinosaurs, if you are trying to hang it around the outside and could see that there is no space, you simply backed off the throttle…. No harm, no foul. You would pressurize the guy in front and, if he made a mistake, you would pounce. If the leader did not make a mistake under pressure, then he wins the race. Things were much simpler then. As Peter Windsor said, DRS has expounded the problems in the braking zone.
