F1 2021 Season

Why isn't RB pitting Perez for the fastest lap ?

It seems like a no brainer. Get one point from Lewis (so one for Max) and 1 point for RB in CWC.
 
The people whining about Verstappen clearly too young to have ever seen Schumacher drive :lol:
by all means he can drive like that but he should have got a penalty just like schumacher would have.

schumacher didn’t get away with it, neither should max.
 
the cheating comments are becomes boring now and very tiresome

Yeah it obviously isn't cheating, but Max really does manage to push the rules to their limit in a way other drivers can't, he's a master of the dark arts for someone so (relatively) young.
 
To be honest. I would have done exactly what Max did. It's aggressive but he's fighting for a world title. And he's not the only driver on the grid who will shut the door. There are two styles of drivers out there, those who give room and those who don't. Max is the latter.
 
Bottas needs to show up for the next few races, he’s got a role to play in this title fight.

They will, but do it now and Mercedes will just pit Bottas immediately
 
I was hoping to see Bottas put some pressure on Max, would have been interesting as Max doesn't appear to have the nous to play safe and would have had everything to lose if they touched.
 
I honestly did think it was title over post quali DNF and losing 2 more points in the sprint. This is back on now and it was a mega race.
 
I have huge respect for Max as the driver. But I could never at this stage like him. For me he is just on the wrong side of the line of aggressive vs reckless. I really find him unsportsmanlike. I’m all for passion. All for aggression. All for arrogance. But it’s the fact that he thinks he is above the rules that really bothers me. But like I said, a lot of respect for him as a driver. And he will be a WC sometime soon, if not this year.

And I second that.

yep. i’m just going to windmill my arms and kick my legs and walk at you, it’s your fault if you don’t get out of the way.
 
Bottas isn't challenging Max. He's just about good enough to beat Perez

Michael was literally banned from races which cost him the 96 title, had his entire 97 points total removed after the last race, and I remember him getting multiple penalties e.g his Monaco quali stunt.

Max has got away with one today

it’s up to the stewards to referee the race properly and they failed at that. max overstepped the line with the defence and only held the position by throwing his car into a ‘we either both crash or I stay ahead’ scenario.

Yeah, but Max is a hypocrite who whines whenever someone does the same on him. The FIA being ridiculously inconsistent with their interpretation of the rules doesn't help too as it seems like Max can get away with anything for years and he never needs to learn the difference being aggressive and dirty.

Schumacher got away with a staggering amount over his career. The best drivers usually do.

Lewis got away with quite a bit of dirty driving against Rosberg and Vettel as well.

There's 3 styles to be fair, there's the 2 you mentioned and people like Alonso and to an extent Hamilton who give room, but still don't allow you to pass.
