Iβve said it before: Max Verstappen is incapable of racing fairly. Unwilling and incapable. Small amount of pressure applied to him in a racing situation and he falls to pieces - resorting to illegal tactics and crashing into people. Every single time.

Trying to run a car off the road who youβve just crashed into, whilst youβre driving with a rear puncture, should be an instant race ban. Max caused a crash and then deliberately forced the car heβd just crashed into to take to the grass on a straight. He hasnβt matured. He.

Iβm old enough to remember a time when F1 was desperate for new teams. They accepted all sorts. Drinks manufacturers, teams with no wind tunnel, two different βLotusβ teams on the same grid. Itβs laughable that such a well resourced, manufacturer backed, heritage named team are.

Not enough has been made of Max forcing Norris onto the grass between turns 3 & 4, when he was recovering to the pits with his puncture. It wasnβt enough to have crashed into him once. He had to do some more dangerous & petulant stuff on the way back to the pits. That move.

By the rules, if a car on the inside is ahead at the apex, the car on the outside is not entitled to ANY racing room. Norris was ahead at the apex. Max stayed ahead off track. 100% slam dunk penalty for Verstappen IF THE RULES WERE BEING APPLIED - WHICH THEY WERENβT.

The management of @redbullracing should be ashamed. They publicly threw this guy under the bus because their own strategy didnβt work - and he was only out there giving Gasly a tow. Tsunoda literally jumped off track to keep out of their way. Zero class shown as usual by Horner.

The FIAβs statement shows they totally ignored the Mercedes protest and deflected to an issue nobody was arguing. Yes, after the safety car βinβ button is pressed, it has to come in. But the issue is WHY was it called in? Saying you partially applied a rule is not an answer. #F1.
