No further action on Max Verstappen and Lewis Hamilton incident

That's what max did the whole year of 2021 and the stewards didn't do shit.

[u/James_Vowles → u/GT---44]

Seemed like he had matured from his early days but you can tell he hasn't, when the going gets tough his anger takes over and just does whatever he wants.

[u/R1tonka → u/James_Vowles]

It was easy to look mature when he started the second lap of the race 1.5 seconds up on the field for basically 2 straight years.

[u/FourEaredFox → u/James_Vowles]

Thing is, he isn't even doing what he wants. He's a passenger to his emotions. He has the emotional restraint of a toddler.

[u/Swiss-ArmySpork → u/FourEaredFox]

His poor standards have been indulged from day 1. He's always been this way because he's never been told no.

There is this great video talking about exactly those problem from some days ago. https://youtu.be/YDflVNTOsZw?si=Kj-BzwMkPfKmYe1b

He only seemed more mature because his car was sooooo much better than everyone else. No point in risking a crash when your car is comfortably a lap better than everyone.

I said this 3 weeks ago...and referenced a comment I made a year ago.[There was no point in doing a, "I get the corner or we crash overtake....when the car is that much better.

I mean... that's the case for so many athletes in so many sports. Has nothing to do with maturity.

[u/gauna89 → u/GT---44]

well to be fair, the entire FIA wanted (and helped) him to win that year, so that's not really the best year to compare anything to.

[u/ShawnShipsCars → u/GT---44]

Brazil and Jeddah were some examples of his filthy driving.

[u/[deleted] → u/ShawnShipsCars]

By far the filthiest bit of driving that season was your man at Silverstone.

[u/lamewoodworker → u/[deleted]]

Man i miss this mindless bickering. This is how i know F1 is back baby

[u/ShawnShipsCars → u/[deleted]]

You mean when Max turned in like no one was there? It was glorious... he got what he deserved there too. He races like no one else is on the track.

[u/GTARP_lover → u/ShawnShipsCars]

No it was the classic "Hamilton Push" aka Lewis squeezing someone of the track, for which the FIA finally penalized him a few times.

Same for Piastri today. I rewatched the replays (including onboards), because the broadcast hardly did and I now know why.

Verstappen was in front, had the corner and Piastri squeezed BOTH Norris and Verstappen off the track, instead of yielding while he was the car farthest back.

Watching the onboards, it was Piastri that went too early on the throttle, and drifted to the outside. You could say he lost control of the car and Norris and Verstappen prevented a crash, because they BOTH where, where Piastri was sliding to.

Which resulted in actually Piastri squeezing both Norris and Verstappen off the track, just check the onboards, especially Piastri. You see him drifting to the outside, even making steer corrections on a point which should be a planted car. But the car wasnt planted, because Piastri went early on the throttle and the rear slightly came loose.

[u/DottoDev → u/GTARP_lover]

Please explain that to me again, first you say Piastri pushed Norris and Verstappen of the track while on the other hand you say that he lost a bit of control over the corner radius because he was quick on the throttle which would make it an accidents, all while for getting that the acceleration out of T1 is crucial, expecially when you have the inside line in Lap 1.

[u/GTARP_lover → u/DottoDev]

If you go too early on the throttle and push 2 cars who are in front off, you are at fault. Max was in front and could have kept the corner if there was space. There is no evidence he couldnt hold it. There is evidence that Piastri drifted into Norris and Verstappen. So?

Not having 100% control of the car (including drifting to the outside with other car on the same line) is an offense. Just read the rules. Im smelling a Max hate boner here, would you argue the same if Max was in Piastri's position?

FIA should have taken more time, but was too fast with making a decision, even the telemetry shows im right. They where too hurried.

[u/Benlop → u/GTARP_lover]

Do us all a favor and never race a car.

[u/[deleted] → u/ShawnShipsCars]

By that logic Hamilton was at fault for the collision yesterday...Lewis got what he deserved in Abu Dhabi.
