I got the whole "let him past by a nosecone, then challenge for the corner" as that's just standard Max.
I don't get the whole straightlining the corner when George was on his outside. It was all very Schumacher at Jerez in 97. I'm not Max's biggest fan and I do enjoy watching him race, but that should have been a bigger sanction than a ten second penalty.
Not to give it the whole "if I was the steward" spiel, but I would have given ten or eleven penalty points for that as a warning that another bit of shithousery would royally fuck his season.
They should have black flagged him and given out the penalty points. If Max wants to play bumper cars, he can go do that instead of F1.
3 penaltypoints is quite significant I think
If literally anybody else did this we'd be talking about a lifetime ban lmao imagine Esteban ocon driving into someone he was told to let by out of frustration, he'd be done. Theres no room for this in the sport. idc if its the best driver in the world or not, its unacceptable and should receive an extraordinary punishment to ensure this behavior ends immediately. 3 race ban is significant, 3 penalty points is a calculated risk for max, clearly.
No. Vettel got a 10 second stop-go and 3 penalty points for essentially the same thing. 3 penalty points is fair. You can disagree on the 10 second ban and I will agree that it should've been a a clear disqualification (assuming the rulebook allows something like that) or at the very least a 10 second stop-go. 3 race ban is just overkill and a lifetime ban would be completely idiotic.
Nah
True, like they banned two-time world champion Michael Schumacher.
