Formula 1 2024

Well that was always going to happen. Both pushing the limits of acceptable racing but I think it was Max who was pushing it too far repeatedly. 

[Muzzy_no7]

Absolutely no surprise whatsoever that Max has done that again. 
 

Cruel he gets to carry on and Lando can’t, too.

 

Max should be penalised. 
 

Hope Oscar gets the win, can’t stand George. 

[SouthStandUpperTier]

That escalated quickly.

[Zear0]

Shame for it to end like that, was great racing. 

[deejdeej]

Don't care who's fault it was. I just love to see that drama on the front row 

[SouthStandUpperTier]

Guess that's the end of the Max/Lando bromance.

Max can’t race when ever he is challenged he causes accidents

Definitely at fault for that incident .

Well done Russell.

Right place right time - as he said yesterday he would hope to be !

The booing at Silverstone is going to be off the charts. 

[UniFox21]

Both Max and Lando both racing hard, Max squeezing too far at the end. 

Horner on the radio telling him it's not his fault

Horner is the most deluded man in F1, but he was hardly gonna come on the radio and tell Max he drove like a [email protected] though he would've been right.

Great race 

[Steve_Guppy_Left_Foot]

That’s the thing with max he's probably the fastest of the lot (definitely one of, without doubt) but when it comes to wheel to wheel racing he is so super aggressive 100% of the time the options are the other driver completely backs out or gets crashed in to, that’s not the make up of a top quality racing driver to me. You need to be firm and race hard but max has repeatedly shown he’s incapable of doing so. 

[Legend_in_blue]

It's taken far too many years post Massi to find ourselves in a similar Max situation.  He's never going to change, he's an idiot.

I feel with Max it boils down to purely arrogance - he will just not accept losing to anyone it seems.

The things said critically about Max above are the same reasons everyone wets their knickers over Senna.

Should hope so, given he gets paid $10m’s to win!!

Bit OTT here, I really don’t like the weird little inbred, but he’s a winner in a highly competitive sport. Most of the time he wins

Of course he should be competitive. But there is a line, however subjective that may be, which he repeatedly crosses.

Racing was very different 30+ years ago mate. Senna's style and personality would not translate well into today's style.

I would liken Max more to Schumi's reckless style tbh.

I wish...  TBH, I've only been there once and it chucked it down, my umbrella broke in the wind and I got soaked even in my water'proofs'  (GP Masters - if anyone can remember that?)  I don't even know how easy it is to get to via public transport from London...?

I've never been, and kind of want to do it properly...but none of my mates will fork out for the hospitality. And doing the hospitality thing on my own doesn't really appeal. 

 

Direct train from Euston to Wolverton, apparently. Takes about an hour. (Or the other option is to bunk up with a local. And by that I mean @tom27111, obviously)!

 

Weather seems like it'll be ok - I think I'll make a late call on it. I need to do it at least once!

Not really a surprise but Bearman joining HAAS next year is a good signing. He could be in with a good shot at replacing Lewis in the main team in a few years if he does well so interesting to see how he gets on.
