What FIA JUST DID to Verstappen After New Evidence Emerged CHANGES EVERYTHING!

[@mattferry7667]

How does 2 points on Max's Super License "Change Everything" ... Kmag has 10 .. The punishment doesn't mean anything unless it has an actual impact on the sport, or a race. Just saying ... sadly the drivers and teams have learned that the sport is as much about rule manipulation as it is actual racing, and until penalties are put into place that break this mentality, I don't see anything changing.

[@DarthLordRaven]

mag already should have 12 and one race ban, but there not very consistent. they holding the hand above it's head.

[@mpakalaou]

I mean how is he going to get views and clicks?

[@Gwox]

Agree 100%. I don't like Max's 'yield or we crash' driving benefitting him time and time again, but until it's actually consistently punished I can't really blame him. He's just doing what works, and it's what worked for Senna and Schumacher before him. The way Formula 1 is stewarded has consistently rewarded over-aggressive driving and I don't see that changing any time soon.

[@playfultrembler]

@mattferry7667 I don’t think you’re following the sport TBH. If you are. Both Norris and Max should have been punished and FIA has suff proof time. Let’s not start a war here. KMag is guilty too as pronounced.. unless you are someone who tries to claim who won the 50 over 2019 Cricket World Cup??

[@mattferry7667]

@@playfultrembler Why do people make ignorant comments such as "you must not/ don't follow the sport" , when they have a different opinion ... I'm ok with differing opinions on the topic, but how does that difference equate to me not following the sport ? And yes, KMag is most definitely guilty as well... And KMag is a perfect example. He was an absolute brute earlier in the year , right up until he had no more points to spare before getting a race ban. The rules would have finally had an impact on the sport (and to a lesser extent, finally did have an impact). Instead he's backed off and hasn't been going anywhere near as hard with elbows out, and hasn't received anymore penalty points, so hasn't received a race ban yet. (There is plenty of room for discussion on FIA / Steward ruling consistency) As for Norris being punished as well. If he should have been punished , he was punished by his race being over and having a DNF, and may or may not have access to all the upgrades that he had last week, at this weeks British GP. (I most definitely follow the sport).

[@gerimanushi]

This season is getting more and more excited. I expect the second part of it (after the summer break) to become even more intense and escalated especially between Max and Lando, since their pace are equivalent, but here comes the experience into play. I know that Mclaren is behaving consistently in every single track since they are the best package, but still I believe Max will be ahead of them just because of his experience and the way how he delievers his race. On the other hand, Lando is such a big talent, but he rushes a lot when it comes to tough battles, which means there is still a long way to go for him if we wants to be on the level of world champions. From my personal point of view (you might call me crazy here), but Piastri looks more futuristic as a world champion compared to Lando.

[@M1ggins]

Max will just wreck him if he challenges, just like he did Riccardo in the team-mate battle and Lewis in the hunt for the WDC. He can't race fair, but nothing will happen though, as F1 is now owned by a media company and fair competition comes 2nd after ratings.

[@pinkchiffon7041]

I agree. Oscar holds maturity and calmness that norris doesn't, and i feel that in some way, as many others have suggested, his cool demeanor is going to benefit him greatly on the track but his race pace and inexperience is weighing him down

[@danjay67]

I didn’t have any problem with how they were racing, but max has long used the dive bomb scenario to try and scare drivers off the line. It’s what he did here and Lando held the mark… something no one has done before. Consequently this blew up in max’s face as he caused a collision taking them both out. It’s no more complicated than that. If we hadn’t seen this strategy from max numerous times before one might think this was targeted bad sportsmanship, but in reality it’s just part of max’s aggressive style. We don’t see it very often as he is rarely challenged. I think much of the drama comes from people who haven’t been regular fans to the sport.

Drive Smarter not harder. The harder Lando was driving was causing him to violate track limits.

Rules in racing that force one driver to leave an opening for another driver to gain the advantage are absolutely insane and delusional to me. It is on the skill of a driver to utilize their own abilities and experience to get past another drivers defense/offense. Overall the collision and puncture are nothing more than an unfortunate racing incident. Really sucks Lando had to retire though.

Lando kept exceeding track limits with no penalty

[@SpinningGorilla]

he got a time penalty no?

[@RevLine50]

Yeah he got a black flag for exceeding track limits which gave Lando a 5 second penalty. Verstappen also did the exact same thing on the same corner as Lando overtook and did not receive a penalty even though he retook his position back of the track

[@guypainter]

Which race were you watching then?

[@Gwox]

@@RevLine50 the penalty was because he exceeded the limit of track limit infringements for the whole race. The last one just happened to be while he was racing with Max, but the penalty itself was for that plus a few others off-camera while he was catching. Max didn't get a penalty for overtaking off the track because he was only off the track because he was forced off (a decision that afaik in recent years has only ever been used then and on lap 1 of Abu Dhabi 2021, but tbh I think it's fair if they consistently apply it...which of course they don't cos its the FIA who am I kidding)

[@jonashton5288]

Think you'll find he got penalised for track limits you clown and even if he didn't it doesn't justify max mcstrapon

[@BarryMarks7]

I like seeing them race hard like the old days, but the last attempt and collision was caused by Max steering into Lando. A 10 second penalty is not enough when you put someone out of the race. A drive through or stop n go would be more appropriate. Points in their license is fine but does nothing about the race outcome

[@SWD3104725]

Max didn't move under breaking , check the onboard , so basically it's Norris who drives into him while there was more than enough space for him ... Norris should have gotten a penalty .

[@harryboy3305]

Braking not breaking

[@nicop.2312]

Lando still had space on the left. Why he wanted contact with Max. His reaction on Max going just a little left was very poor. He wanted to break late himself and got locked. Own fault too, so driving incident. If 2 make a fault, 2 are to blame, not only Max. You see it very good from the top. It looked like Lando was sleeping there.

[@Birdman953]

Hey all you F1 “experts”, haters and nitpickers, this is racing! It’s not a game of croquet on your granny’s front lawn! This was the best F1 race in years. Now all the knives come out for Max and poor, poor Lando. Where was all this vitriol for Red Bull when Perez’s car was written off at Monaco? ($35m I believe) All Lando got was a flat tyre and a few parts that flew off, but according to him his car was “destroyed!” Max is the best driver on the grid. It is Max that makes the RB look good. Perez makes it look like a Haas. (He should be featured in Netflix with the back-runners) Here’s to some proper F1 racing like we witnessed back in the 70’s and 80’s when racing drivers were real men and not a bunch of poster boys for handbags and toiletries. (Half of them haven’t learned how to shave yet!)

[@geniferteal4178]

He had no choice. He was afraid his father was going to take the plane and leave him stranded.😅

Of course Cristian focus on the positive because he doesn’t care about Norris or what verstappen did . they don’t care because they know that the penalty it’s nothing for them for me. Formula One become ridiculous.

[@chrisperkins86]

100% correct Horner is like Verstappen despicable

[@tonyboswell5414]

Close friends my arse 🤣

[@camerontool]

I deal with this in my country's favoured sport, AFL. Comments like "it has always been this way" " it used to be alot worse, whats your problem"? "It was harder back in my day" Yes. Good points, but does it change the essence of what good sportsmanship is? No! Just because it was back then, doesn't mean it IS right now. The rules are there for very good reason. What Max was doing was inarguably moving under braking, well before the "dive bombs." This is against what you call sportsmanship. Plain and simple. Btw. Im nither a Max or Lando fan. I believe they're both extremely talented drivers.

[@chrisperkins86]

well said sir I applaud you, to him its I must win at all costs he simply cant stand competition he has had his own way for far too long you will see more dirty driving from him before the end of 24

[@tristanskipworth4377]

[@leightri]

"worst weekend"? Max finished with points for the Drivers and the Team, and took out his nearest competitor Lando to zero points, and cost Mclaren hundreds of thousands in damage to the car (which comes from their budget). Max even kept the extra point for fastest lap. He doesn't give a toss for popularity with fans or other drivers.

[@harryboy3305]

The damage to McLaren was caused by Norris not Max

[@chrisperkins86]

As lond as he remains in F1 under pressure he will continue with his dirty driving the stewards should have been harder on him

[@Slick_Echo]

Summary: FIA is a joke, and this was nothing more than just an unfortunate racing incident. Social media is blowing everything out of proportion now. Hope Max and Lando are actually chill behind the scenes.

Verstappen avoided 3 colissions from Lando before finally buying it.

Lando and his shills need to have a chill break. He was doing it all race causing so much problems that he should have been punished for numerious issues he caused at same corner no punishment. I counted him causing 4 problems to other drivers which caused running off track and bumps into the corner.

You should consider to stop you channel. You dont seem to be able to distract the nonsense from the sense.

[@chadhughes7881]

Funny how they fail to mention the out of control dive bombing by Norris nearly taking max out twice

[@rogeliogamboa7644]

Wow - so much controversy - IMHO Max Verstappen is GOAT - a mix of some of the past greats - like Senna once said "you don't win races by being friendly " - like Senna, Max is a racer - I have been watching F1 since I was a kid, now 85 years old - now, so many rules, regulations, politics - just let them race - but I have to say, one thing has changed : safety - in the 50's,60's, 70's sadly almost every race weekend someone was killed - if they had all the present safety track and driver systems in place back then, Senna wouldn't have hit a concrete wall and died and Jim Clark wouldn't have crashed into trees and died

[@LednacekZ]

Max has been the enemy of fans ever since he started winning. this race changes nothing.
