You know given how much they pegged back the performance of that thing I think racing in general should really look at changing to smaller displacement engines with unrestricted performance.

It was just dumb.

First, Hamilton's car didn't even get damaged.
Yes that was fortunate, it would have sucked if Max got away with his own stupidity.

Second, Hamilton did the exact same thing during that triple overtake that the Hamilton fans keep jerking off over.
Got a picture or video of this? cos lol.

Pick one. Amazing move, or disrespectful maneuver?
It was poo poo and dumb, OP. A classic Verstappen move.

We need a name for Hamilton fans. Hams?

He literally does exactly to Hulkenberg what Verstappen did to him. Difference is Hulk sees it and brakes, Hamilton doesn't and in fact TURNED IN to Verstappen.

Same move on the same part of the track. Both went inside and used late braking to pass on Turn 1, but they both pushed straight across the track and blocked the car behind because of the late brake.

Either it was a disrespectful move or a good one, but both Hamilton and Verstappen did it.

Are you really arguing that the two incidents are in any way similar? In the first one Lewis is fully alongside Max, in the second Hulkenberg barely has his front wheels level with Lewis' rear wheels.

You can see Max sawing at his wheel trying to squeeze Lewis off, and he does back off as he approaches the curb. In the second one Lewis turns as much as he can and keeps his steering there, he's not trying to push Hukenberg off.

Hamilton conceded the corner to him (because he's a loving lunatic and why have him crash out on your car when it can be someone up the road) and Max like a dumbass decided he needed to run him off anyways. He was a complete dumbass for using the full corner thinking Lewis's Mercedes was just going to magically disappear on corner exit.

You know in my class there's this rich af Venezuelan dude who will just loving jump you at every start and after the third race he was behind me I just stopped trying to block him because there was like a 60% chance he was gonna crash out and take somebody else up the road out in the process so why loving bother. I feel like the more intelligent F1drivers have the exact same thought process with Max.

This is the best part of it. It’s literally Max watching other drivers make aggressive passes and not understanding the context. He had no need to drive Hamilton off the track, but he’s seen Hamilton and Vettel and Alonso do it before, so that’s what he did.

No. gently caress that. 23 years old. Firm limit. The other requirements can stay but the 23 year old minimum with no exceptions.

Lance Stroll is 19. Max Verstappen is 20.

Same with Leclerc. These kids need to spend more time developing their racecraft. This is insanity.

Vettel was 22 at the start of the first season he won the WDC in. If he wasn't allowed to race, Alonso would have won the WDC in a Ferrari, and i don't think anybody wants that.
