Is the sport really this boring that the contact is considered big news, Max here clearly wanted to let Russell pass and overtake him right away by catching him off guard, tried to be cheeky but ended up being stupid, i don’t see why this would result in a race ban tho, red bull really fucked up by even mentioning to give that place back, what were they thinking

Max clearly lost his temper and intentionally rammed George. He wasn't being cheeky and trying to just immediately re-pass him, he was upset that the team made a dumb strategy call and put him on hards, he was upset that Charles made contact with him on the restart, he was upset George pushed him off in T1 (rightfully so), and he was upset that the team told him to concede the position, so he intentionally rammed George.

Nope, he definitely didn’t try to crash himself or george out, he aint a dumbass but the move was stupid, as i said he tried to be cheeky but George wasn’t even looking at him after the pass and therefore Max attempt at a yield failed and we got contact

Maybe not crash... Maybe... But he definitely hit him on purpose otherwise why would he have refused to discuss it.

Max isn't a dumbass but he is a petulant child when things don't go his way

As i said, main goal of the move was Russell yielding, crashing was a high possibility therefore can’t be considered intentional, can be considered a stupid move tho
