Max had all early season to be calculated when the RB was significantly faster than the merc, if he had done so at silverstone the championship would be over. But he wanted to be "ballsy" and never give an inch, and thus got shunted and dnf'ed. If he had decided to live another day and backed off the story would be over now.

This tweet impressed...Not my words (but I'm so aligned with the thought):
"Verstappen is the embodiment of how not to be a sportsman." |

Second in response to "back off for what", this is where race iq and maturity comes into play, in the term live to fight another day. Max should have realized he was ahead by alot in the championship so he has more to lose, thus he should have played it safe and back off to avoid any damage. But Max lacks the maturity to do so and wants to fight every single second even when it is not beneficial or wise to do so, as shown by him battling a back marker in Ocon at the end of the race for literally no reason at all.

If Max listened to some of the advice on here then he'd only have half the points he has now at this stage, what you fail to take on board f87 is that you cannot change a persons character and remember where the rest are...nowhere. |

Max on the other hand has been in more bad and dangerous situations this year than ever before. Maybe the team have given him unrealistic expectations on him that has applied pressure that makes the bad judgements. Look at when he tagged Ocon in Brazil years ago as a back marker. He had lots to lose but his brain wouldn't let him, but to be the best it needs to. To win you have to finish, you can be amazing but if you don't cross the line it doesn't matter a jot. Max could have won now if he had backed out of the Silverstone incident, exactly as Leclerc did in an IDENTICAL overtake but he didn't. So we go into the final race, nobody quite clear what is or isn't allowed but its quite clear Max will try anything under the son to do 'Whatever it take regardless of the rules to win'. And that is why many love him but also why neutrals and fans of other drives think he doesn't deserve to be winner because of the way he drives. |

Outgoing AR driver Kimi has said that F1 is now too political with Alonso backing that up confirming other drivers other than ham are treated differently by the gov body. |

Definite DRS posturing and pacing from VER, maybe also from HAM. Bad timing with VER's increased braking simultaneous to HAM's acceleration and attempted pass. Not a brake check and intentional collision.

Both have come up with new and innovative features, flexi wings, both, Clever steering, Merc and many more for them to be stopped or allowed for a season due to how clever they have been. F1 has been like that for years as has any other motorsport, you make the most of what you have. Spending isn't all that dissimilar either when you look at the spending across RB+Toro and Merc so thats not the big issue you state. If it was Ferrari the biggest spender of the lot would be winning as they have the biggest budget and have for decades and where are they? |
