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.

the problem is getting on the inside of the guy ahead. they are always going to want to cover the inside. |

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; 10-21-2024 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.... |

This race is why Lando and his supporting engineers aren't ready to win a driver's championship.
I wouldn't be surprised if Leclerc finishes P2 in WDC. |

i didn't see anything wrong with turn 1. they are racing, not driving in a 2 lane road to the shops. when you are racing you don't wave people by, otherwise it won't be called racing. on the other hand, you are supposed to give one car's width at the turn IF the car is alongside (ie if you are not ahead at the apex). i'll look at turn one later and see if there's anything wrong, but i didn't see anything wrong when i first watched it. |

however i've seen in many races in lap one the rule book doesn't apply, so maybe Max exploited that. also nobody (McLaren) protested so again, not noted or looked at. Would max be able to turn, of course he can. He's the best driver in the world. but the main issue it, Lando didn't cover the inside. he let Max in. i think he was busy covering the Ferraris on the outside.

Or punish them both and net off the impact or leave them to race if that is what they are doing. |

Here is another view I’ve just read. Brundle is normally fairly even handed as a racer and his view is pretty clear let them race or change the rules. If there was a wall on the outside or a gravel trap would Max have done the same, does he have to leave room…. Answers on a postcard.
