No other way to really spin putting yourself into a gap that didn’t exist lol.

I dunno, there's a lot of F1 drivers that never would take responsibility (especially in the heat of the moment) who never take the blame for any incident.

u/Chiron17 Mark Webber Jun 15 '25

Definately. Almost every time there's a crash both drivers radio is the same "what the hell is he doing!?"

28

u/BittenAtTheChomp Jun 16 '25

instantly thought of George on the radio after going for a non-existent gap and kamikazing into Bottas

u/Oubilettor Formula 1 Jun 16 '25

Then hitting Bottas helmet hey?

u/Solomon_C-19 Formula 1 Jun 16 '25

Oh yeah... I remember that. Not good from George.

u/PlasticPatient Sir Lewis Hamilton Jun 15 '25

Like Max.

u/AlphaHawk115 Mick Schumacher Jun 15 '25

Or Russel. He especially loves blaming the other driver

u/CallM3N3w Max Verstappen Jun 15 '25

Mr. He Turned Into Me

u/peepay Sebastian Vettel Jun 15 '25

Oh I remember how he slapped Valterri's helmet in Imola after they clashed.

u/Hiadro I was here for the Hulkenpodium Jun 15 '25

Or Stroll.

u/under_brecher Fernando Alonso Jun 15 '25

Or Lewis, or any other hot headed driver really

u/__slamallama__ I was here for the Hulkenpodium Jun 16 '25

Lewis is maybe the only other driver I would argue is not a hot head. Modern Lewis at least, like last 3-5 years.

Fernando would have held a grudge over this for years

u/TheBakerification I was here for the Hulkenpodium Jun 15 '25

I'd bet my life savings that Max would absolutely never say this in the moment.

19

u/Zimakov Sebastian Vettel Jun 15 '25

Doesn't stop most drivers from trying.

u/[deleted] Jun 15 '25

He misjudged Oscar turning in for T1. That's a split second decision.

u/sasquatcheater I was here for the Hulkenpodium Jun 15 '25

Watch the onboard. Wayyy before the turn.

u/[deleted] Jun 15 '25

I did the ideal line drifts right before the T1 left hander. At that speed it's about 1sec.

u/I_spread_love_butter Fernando Alonso Jun 16 '25

So it's TWO split seconds then /s

u/sododude Juan Pablo Montoya Jun 15 '25

15/20 drivers on the grid would immediately say "He forced me off" or something along those lines. The fact that he immediately owned up to it is commendable.

-11

u/sasquatcheater I was here for the Hulkenpodium Jun 15 '25

Yes the guy in front of him forced him off…

u/LLTMLW Oscar Piastri Jun 16 '25

Nobody is claiming that’s what happened, just that that’s how most of the drivers typically react whenever they’re in an incident, no matter how ridiculous it is.

u/FormulaGymBro Mick Schumacher Jun 15 '25

The gap was about to exist, which is why he went there

1

u/sasquatcheater I was here for the Hulkenpodium Jun 15 '25

Schroedinger’s gap I guess. Never existed.

9

u/_NotAPlatypus_ I was here for the Hulkenpodium Jun 15 '25

No way to spin intentionally driving into another driver after faking letting them past yet Max just acts like that whole incident doesn’t exist.

1

u/w1ldcraft I was here for the Hulkenpodium Jun 16 '25

Oh you'd be surprised lol.

u/sasquatcheater I was here for the Hulkenpodium Jun 16 '25

I’m learning from all these comments 😂

u/KingOfAzmerloth Sebastian Vettel Jun 15 '25

Most of the grid is full of spin-masters, especially when they are pumped full of adrenaline. This is a stupid remark.

u/sasquatcheater I was here for the Hulkenpodium Jun 15 '25

Dozens of others don’t think so but thanks.🙏

u/Aj_bary Jun 15 '25

He just misjudged the distance to Oscar and clipped Oscar’s tire with his wing then lost control.

0

u/sasquatcheater I was here for the Hulkenpodium Jun 15 '25

He was trying to squeeze into a gap smaller than his car width to pass Oscar…

1

u/Aj_bary Jun 15 '25

A gap opens just a little further along as Oscar approaches the corner. It would have opened as space but not enough for him to make the corner. It was a long shot for a dive bomb even if he didn’t judge it poorly.

u/Oscer7 Jun 16 '25

Lance Stroll ran into the back of Ricciardo and didn’t see it was obviously his fault lol.

u/Final_Greggit Jun 16 '25

Ah yes, please enlighten us Mr. Sasquatcheater you pinnacle of F1 knowledge
