Lando saying what everyone thinks about being allowed to change tyres under a red flag situation.

Yeah it’s hard to argue with any of it to be honest.
max was being as dirty as possible in every situation possible.
You wouldn’t want your first WDC under these circumstances.
The red flag and the changing of tires is also pretty lol worthy too, I expect it changes next season.
next week is going to be mental! And I wouldn’t be at all surprised if we see another kamikaze move like we saw years ago.

I know this is a bit of a nasty title race with ill feeling, plenty of farce and over the top competitiveness, but it’s been excellent for the sport in the way of drawing viewers and new fans in.
Upto this season I could take or leave F1, but this season has made it absolutely essential viewing and now I’m hooked. I’ve gone from maybe watching a race to tuning in for all the practice sessions!

Charlie wouldn’t have let us get in to this mess. Today was an utter shambles from start to finish.
A red flag after 5 laps of a SC after the car is removed. As far as I know, no one even touched the red-pro barriers either.
No punishment for Max going straight over T1 even though Lewis legitimately made the corner (first time).
Masi giving red bull the option to start P3 instead of putting it to the stewards then checking back with them to make sure they were happy with the decision
No black and white flag for Verstappen for causing a collision / brake testing Hamilton.
No warning to RB to let Hamilton back through after the Spa-2008-like give/take back shenanigans.
A 5s penalty for gaining an advantage after going straight over T1 and nearly wiping out Ocon and Lewis.
…then threatens Mercedes to give Lewis a black and white flag for “forcing” Max wide, even though he clearly left Hamilton through and went wide himself BEFORE the corner (I’m guessing so he could plant his foot down and exit much quicker).
I’ve got no respect for him.
Agreed, the black and white flag was insulting.

I think Max and Jos would both be quite proud of it, that's the sad thing.
I'm quite sure Max will will championships and will deserve them, I'm not sure it's this year.
lol, it’s not normally like this at all.
It was for leaving track at T1 and gaining advantage.
(the time just before the collision)

People talked about it last year but nothing changed. Really sucks when people lose out on merit.
If Max won due to his tyre advantage at the first red flag it's all everyone would be talking about right now (and rightfully so).

Well maybe it will be for at least the next few years with Lewis and Max.
F1 is definitely a sport made by rivalries.

I see that Stumble bloke voted it a 1 again, probably as Max didn't win, and hasn't made a single comment this race, was very vocal when Max had a big lead and was winning.

Standard.

I was about to post exactly that! haha

Lewis was just asked why he didn't just pass Max and said that if he overtook him Max would have had DRS to retake him.
This was 1 of 2 reasons he gave, so he was aware of the DRS line like the other former drivers said.
yeah - fair enough - 1st time I've heard that so my point in mute now.... now that the information is out there.

Lewis ahead after the standing restart…
Max tries to outbreak him and go around the outside by runs wide.
Instead of following the curve to the right he immediately goes left and straight in to the path of Lewis.

In my mind, this (after the first red flag) was the worst of the 2 incidents. If anything, the 2nd incident just looked like sour grapes do-or-die.

If Red bull make a car that competes for the championship next year. Redbull have been in the wilderness since 2014 and is the first year they have been able to challenge and then next year you have rule change.
Max is 24 now. If the car doesn't show up he will be in his late twenties before he has another crack again.
Then again if the car turns out to be a tour de force he could be 4-5 time champion in no time at all.
