Max had a heck of a start and did well to get the fastest lap and hold onto second.
I'm not arguing for a penalty. My take is just that Max utilizes his car as a cudgel more than any other driver on the course (aside from Mazepan, but that's a talent deficiency.) There's aggressive, then there's reckless, Max is frequently the latter. With them being from different times and facing different drivers, I want to say that Senna and Schumi were more often than not calculating to only make it hard on their opponents, not actually looking to crash into them. Schumi occassionally went batshit though and that logic clearly went out the window. I just feel like good drivers err on the side of caution, Max errs on the side of Max alone. It's scary and unprofessional. I don't like his driving, never have, likely never will. Like I said, it's way too similar to the stupid stuff that Coulthard used to pull. I've never been so happy to see someone retire.
And yes, I absolutely agree that the track layout had something to do with it, some kitty litter in the run off areas would have made this all a non event. Brazil has always seemed like a track that's about 85% done and they just sort of gave up and went home when it was close enough. The cachaca beckons, we must be going!
Not a very interesting race. Man Bottas just has the worst luck. Very happy to see Alonso on the podium. Things are getting closer, should go down to the wire.
Oh yes, Lewis won again.
After Brazil, nothing is exciting anymore lol
Very, very happy for Alonso. I feel like he would've held onto P3 even without the VSC. He had a great day, totally on the ball. RBR with the mega damage limitation, the championship is very much alive. Even the constructors is still up for grabs, with Bottas' retirement. Anything could happen with two races to go. You love to see it.
Well we have been a bit spoiled lately with good races and a great championship battle, but the race turned out good imo...
The new track punished the cars a bit in ways they didnt expect and the racing itself was better than predicted, maybe the DRS was a tad too powerful...
The actual circuit looked really fun, the qualifying laps where crazy impressive.... Leans towards the better races of the V6 era... at least for the novelity....
By far the most sparks I have ever seen in a track, they had the high rake cars like the RB and Alpha running really low, front wing scrapping and the lip of the t tray basically the entire time:
Total disaster for Alpha Tauri too, gonna help Alpine a lot....
Hamilton won, he & Verstappen are now equal on points going into the last race. Verstappen has 9 wins to Hamilton's 8.Who won and what is the standings now?
Thank you for the update.Hamilton won, he & Verstappen are now equal on points going into the last race. Verstappen has 9 wins to Hamilton's 8.
For my two cents I didn't find the track shitty. I only saw dirty tricks on one side & they have been seen before.
