Incredibly tense and truly down to the wire.
This season is epic.

''Yeah it was quite eventful. A lot of things happened that I don't fully agree with, but I gave it my all. It'll be decided in Abu dhabi so hopefully we'll have a good weekend, we'll see''
Max.

Ok guess I was right about the red flags making this race long enough that I'd be awake to watch it, managed to catch the last 10 laps so that's nice.

Helmut Marko says a more powerful car around here doesn't scare them remember?

Crimson92 · 12-05-2021, 02:02 PM

Classy move max.

Chappers 71 · 12-05-2021, 02:04 PM

Well that was entertaining, all square going into the final race...grudge match

Be interesting what the data shows during the after race investigations.

Difficult to imagine a more moronic statement, but you nailed it.

What a complete and utter cluster eff by FIA IMO. Everyone has something to legitimately complain about. Some more than others, especially if telemetry shows Max did break check and move on Lewis.

I feel this WDC is tainted for whoever wins and they really messed up the best opportunity for one of the greatest F1 seasons ever. At least it is still winner take all at the last race.

HAM wasn't aware of the situation , HAM could get P 1 back by a gift from the 'FIA but he didn't knew it ..
MAX slowed down 'twice , but HAM didn't knew what was going on .

That's what HAM also just said after the race : Man I didn't knew what was going on ..

Today Max showed why it's impossible to root for him, even though he's a fast driver. And why it's impossible to discuss with his fans. 1/4 of online voters voted him as driver of the day. For what, exactly? Getting lucky with a red flag?

Happy to see penalties flying his way. Hopefully one day he'll learn, because that's the missing piece for him to be a great driver.

Couldn't agree more. I certainly hope for a better race next weekend with far less FIA intervention. Let these guys race FFS.

Because it's hard to predict what a dirty driver in max Verstappen will do to defend his position...

So you guys kept calling ham a dirty cheat turns out the only dirty driver is Max....

uniqueMR · 12-05-2021, 02:17 PM

Max Verstappen, next time.

FIA

Mercedes $$$

You're correct, HAM had not received a message that MAX was to give P1 back. HAM was naturally confused as to why MAX slowed, but HAM did finally try to go around him. Problem was that's exactly when MAX brake checked him (I feel certain that data will show that) and he steered left to make sure HAM hit him. As soon as MAX felt the contact he floored the throttle.

No he didn't, Ham drove right into hem while he kept straight
And his decelleration was steady, HAM could have easily gone to the left 200m before and overtake him.

I mean you see your competitor slow down. Why don't you overtake?!?!?!?!?
This decelleration was happening hundreds of meters, this is not a brake check.....

Hulk Smash · 12-05-2021, 02:23 PM

MAX knew he had to be dirty (he always is anyway), he was on the wrong tires and HAM was taking huge chunks of time out of him on the straights. MAX was increasing his gap in the corners; however, he was really using up his medium tires in the process. HAM getting pass was inevitable so MAX saw an opportunity to brake check HAM and force contact. Would have worked perfectly had the Mercedes sustained more damage, but it wasn't enough so HAM still won the race while Max picked up penalties and could receive a severe blow after the investigation into his brake check is complete.
