FWIW, I do agree Lando should’ve given the spot back right away and tried to pass him again. Lando is not an idiot though and he knows at this stage Max is willing to take a DNF if he takes Lando with him so he tried to outrun the 5 second penalty that everyone knew was coming. If you can truly dive bomb like that in the first corner with no repercussions as long as you get to the apex first……….they are going to get a lot more interesting.

Kind of an odd response, you could’ve just said you don’t really know either. That corner is obviously a very hard angle to the left. His line to the apex at that speed was definitely going to put him off the racing line. Not sure if he had enough brakes/traction to stay on track. I feel like if could’ve he would’ve. He already had Lando off and apparently couldn't legally pass. So why not try and protect from LEC and almost SAI overtakes? Last edited by minn19; Yesterday at 10:28 PM.. |

Re why not do that to the Ferraris, I'm guessing he was not racing Ferrari. He was racing Lando for the WDC. Doing this comes with risk of crashing if the outside car decides to turn in. If he blocks someone who is not Lando and crashes then it's free points for Lando. |

But ultimately it's really simple, the rule states when you're ahead at the apex, the corner is yours. It's the same for every driver, can't blame Verstappen to be the one taking advantage of that. |

Think it's shots like this one that shows Max has no intention of making the turn...he has two approaches..."I pass or we crash" or "Attempt to pass and I'll put you in the grass". New fans think it's great racing.

Which driver in the image do we think got punished. A or B
A- The one that hit the apex when they passed someone and stayed on track B- The driver that missed the Apex to drive another driver off the track and went off the track themselves I think it's now known as the - Dictionary - Interlagos defense. Aim to take the car on the outside of you off the track with you with no attempt to stay on the circuit to defend against overtaking to get no punishment. Note must be in a Red Bull.... |
