The telemetry will reveal all.

Horner will do a bit of whataboutism and try pull the focus onto the Leclerc and Max collision and the following Russell incident and say he was hard done by.

 

[Mesai]

Be interested to see the on-boards but I guess the stewards already have

Yea, definitely want to see the replays. Looks like Max begrudgingly made a last minute attempt to move over, which took George by surprise - maybe he expected George to overtake faster but Max was on the power way too soon so all signs point to him at fault.

RB and Max ruined an otherwise great strategy.

Mclaren almost 200 points ahead already, good lord

Na, looking at the on-board, George immediately took the position and Max didn't even turn in to the corner.

 

[Dup]

Just when I was getting used to seeing Max hustle that car and appreciate his driving skills, he pulls a stunt like that.

Not the kind of person you want to be driving over 150mph alongside is it? What a brat.

 

[hudson86]

6 overall for me but voted 9 for the last few laps insanity.

 

[Mr Jack]

Seeing it again, that looks worse on Max's side.

 

[SoliD]

Haha norris. I've done that before in Mario kart.

This is really giving the benefit of the doubt.

Nico called it as a deliberate barge, no question about it in his mind.

Interesting restart after the safety car. Verstappen has a case, or he's just trying to bring something out from a bad situation for himself?

 

[SpartaP]

Lando loool. In cool down room seeing Max's shunt into George, 'Ive done that before on Mario Kart'

 

[.:MBK:.]

"I've done that before...in Mario Kart"...nice

 

[PikeyPriest]

Yep barn door infringement by Max. I’m not so sure of needing to give the position in the first place given george collided with him as he couldn’t keep the line through the corner. However, once the stewards made the call to RB to give the place, he needed to max charge batteries and aim to retake the position after. I just checked and he is on 8 pts. So 3 points from this license? It would leave only 1 point before a race ban I think

 

[imtoooldforthis]

The more I watch the main replay the worse it looks from Max. Just makes no sense that he would go into the corner like that regardless of Russells position.

 

[jonneymendoza]

Norris. I've done that max move before, in Mario kart...

Nintendo on the phone to Max to get a bit of last minute endorsement for next week

Love it

 

[Finners]

Cool down room the drivers reaction says all. Wish they had shown the Russell onboard view because it looks even worse

Everyone here has a lot to say about Nico Rosberg, but suddenly he says something that verifies their opinion, and he's spot on?
