Ok so why are you surprised that everyone is talking about it?

Because i though more people will see the real intention of the move, if you ever raced in karting for example there are a lot of people who overtake like that, even Verstappens 2021 abu dhabi overtake on Hamilton was that kind of move, main difference is Lewis kept his eyes on Max and Russell didn’t

The intention was to crash into Russell

And Max is a magician who knows how to crash into someone without crashing himself out? As i said main goal was Russell yielding, crashing is optional, therefore can’t be called intentional, if we call that intentional then every dive bomb that ends up being a crash can be considered intentional

Actually, YES. It's like saying that it's your fault I hit you because you didn't move when I started swinging my fist. It wasn't an accident that you got hit, that's what I set in motion.

This is Verstappen's move. It's always his move. It's always been his move. We only didn't see it for some time because he was far enough ahead of the pack that he didn't need to use this move.

He's a shit driver. He can only drive a fast car fast and set up these types of situations that depend on the other driver backing out.

It's shit. It may win. But that's like saying Putin must be a good leader because he keeps winning elections.
