The more I watch it, the more I'm convinced that this isn't entirely Max's fault. Lando wasn't alongside when Max started moving back to the racing line and Lando also didn't use all the space available on the outside with the kerbs. It almost looks like he drives into Max here.
HELMUT MARKO: "Victory in Montreal, thanks to the Verstappen factor, as I like to call it. Once again, Max Verstappen's very special qualities were the deciding factor in him winning a race that most other drivers probably wouldn't have won."
@R0thmansEra
2017-2018 was so dead w2w but the 2019 reg changes lowkey made it way better. I can’t name a single battle that’s lasted more than 2 corners side by side with the new regs
The real test for Verstappen is going to be when he's not driving a car 0.5 seconds quicker than every other one. The reality is any of the top ten F1 drivers would be champion in that Red Bull. Newey won those championships.

They said Max Verstappen is the greatest in the rain.
The man has the best car and he can’t even keep it on the track lol.
Lewis Hamilton, with a garbage shitbox easily destroyed the grid. This is raw talent. This is a real racing driver.
🚨 | Jos Verstappen is understood to have told friends his son will move from Red Bull if Christian Horner stays at Red Bull.
Horner has repeatedly stated that he is determined to remain team principal.

If you look at this 3D animation of the crash keeping all your biases aside...
It won't take you long to realize that it was an unfortunate racing incident.
Max's move would not have resulted in a crash had the sausage kerb not been there.
Thorough analysis from former F1 test driver and expert pundit Anthony Davidson on not just Lando and Max’s incident, but ones that have gone before… 👀

Lewis fans are making a big mistake by underestimating Charles. I think they'll be in for a very rude awakening when he starts outperforming Lewis from the get go.
And not just in qualifying.
Max in Bahrain- Literally a Grand Slam
Rating: 9.6
Carlos in Aus- Doesn't start on pole, no fastest lap and wins the race due to Max's brake exploding.
Rating: 10
I guess it just shows the different standards to which every driver is measured on you know.
If Horner had resigned/gotten fired by Red Bull GmBH earlier this year, Wheatley would've likely taken over as TP and not left for Audi.
That man's ego and thirst for power is destroying this team from within.
If you had any doubts of Toto Wolff being the biggest elitist, corporatist piece of shit in the F1 paddock,
Just watch him EMOTIONALLY defend Liberty Media and

Here is Crofty's reaction on

:
He immediately loses his mind and claims that the stewards will take a look at it.
All this, while what Max did was completely legal!
"We've had more domination by one team than ever in the history of F1. And it's in the budget cap era. Is that an Irony or?"
Otmar: "Yeah it is an irony. But it's a one team irony. Might even be a one driver irony"
Otmar Szafnauer I WASN'T FAMILIAR....
Toto Wolff still hasn't given up on signing Max Verstappen:
"Horner said that he will stay. Let's see, we leave him with this idea."
"We need to allow Lewis and George to finish the season at a high level, and then we'll see if the W15 will be a car that can convince Max."
"I
Max was by a MILE the better driver in 2021. It took a lot of points being lost through no fault of his own for Lewis to even be in contention for the title come the final race.
The season had 21 races. Not just the one.
Zak Brown takes a shot at Red Bull and says they lack respect
"We need to have respect for regulations and we've seen there be lack of respect, whether it's financial regulations or you know sporting, on-track issues with fathers and things of that nature."
Max has won this race in the 2nd fastest car AT BEST.
Look at Perez who's lingered around in 8th place after getting knocked out in Q2.
Max made the difference today.
They viciously went after
@amanda_newey
back then for simply speaking out on online abuse and toxic journalism.
The same fanbase is now collectively on its knees begging her to tell Adrian to join the team their driver is headed to. Hilarious.
Lewis suddenly rates Checo and is supportive of him now?
Let's go back to Mexican GP 2021 where after finishing P2 in front of Checo, he said- "You know their car is fast when Sergio is close to you and pushing you like that" ( what a nice thing to say at checo's home race 🙂)
CultLH crying their eyes out in the quotes when it's a fact that Ferrari were favourites for pole today.
And these are the same folks that will say Lewis was driving the 5th fastest car in Singapore 2018 😭😭
AGAINST ALL ODDS, MAX VERSTAPPEN TAKES POLE POSITION AT THE AUSTRALIAN GRAND PRIX!
Incredible lap, looked like pole was going to Ferrari all weekend but Max once again made the difference.
Max: "Last week I drove a lot in the rain on the sim in Spa, so yeah, sim-racing is not that bad after all, eventhough a lot of people are crying about it, they can all f-ck off 😆"
I LOVE HIM YOUR HONOR
F1 Rumor:
Mercedes title sponsor, Petronas is looking to bring back the Sepang International Circuit back on the F1 calendar.
The Malaysian Grand Prix can be back on the calendar as soon as 2026.
The last time Sepang hosted an F1 race was in 2017.

. The FW load would have been pretty compromised. The FT wake control would have also been impacted. He probably had understeer, and a different feel for left and right turns. Amazing
If Max 'crumbled' in the last 4 races by simply finishing P2 in the 2nd fastest car, then whatever Lewis did in Monaco, Baku, Austria and Turkey is way worse than that😭😭
Get your eyes checked ASAP 😭😭
Charles literally is on a tighter line than Max's at the point of contact.
The reason there wasn't a crash with Charles is because Lewis hit the apex that time.
@sebastianbaughh
That's not my point. Lando lunging from so far back actually should be more cautious and use all of the space available to him. At no point before Max started moving back to the racing line was he alongside so it's on him to avoid contact.
