Poll: Official 2025 Spanish Grand Prix Race Thread - Circuit de Barcelona-Catalunya - Race 9/24

[Mr Jack]

I can't imagine Red Bull will be happy he threw away points they can't afford to lose given the other car is handicapped and they're not in a race winning position every weekend.

Red Bull must take most of the blame, surely? The decision to put him out on hard tyres rather than keeping him out on the softs and taking the lead was mad. Yes, he stood little or no chance of keeping Piastri and Norris behind him but he wasn't going to win those positions on the wrong tyre either, and would have had a much better chance of staying ahead of Leclerc and Russell. He made things worse with that second Russell incident, but he shouldn't have been put in that position.

watched the cooldown lap for the first time ever expecting verstappen to do this

Lewis's move to Ferrari is turning into a nightmare he had zero pace - I can see him packing it all in if '26 is the same as this.

Imagine Max doing a Cantona and just not coming back - funnier things have happened!

 

[muon]

Ant calling it as intentional as well, begrudgingly.

 

[Terminal_Boy]

Where would Red Bull be in the championship *without* him though? Below Aston Martin?

If the RBR is as difficult to drive as it appears, they might be last in the Constructor’s.

All the onboards are live/recorded, yet we haven't seen the onboard of Max into George yet.

Why?

Toto playing it cool to F1TV, saying Max must have had a problem coming out of turn 4 and then had a similar problem coming into 5

 

[jonneymendoza]

I’ve said it many times before. Max drives in real life how I drive in Mario kart.

He’s just proven me right. Again.

Fixed

Spoken like a true team principal fully leaving the door open for one of the best drivers on the grid. lol

Feek's applying for Red Bull as we speak seen it on LinkedIn

Problem between the ears

What a ridiculously mature live response from George. How old is he?

Makes sure to compliment Max in his response as well.

 

[imtoooldforthis]

Toto playing it down, clearly wants to keep the door open for Max

Yeah might end up having to defend such incidents in the future for him.

A very professional and level headed 27.

He just looks like a lanky teenager.

 

[Terminal_Boy]

Denial is not just a river in Egypt.

 

[Psycho Ned]

He just looks like a lanky teenager.

Whereas 27 year old Max's response was like a lanky teenagers

 

[Kenai]

Here's the interview we want.

Was it intentional?
"Does it matter?"

 

[ChrisD.]

I can't stop looking at Max's massive spot. Maybe that's why he's so angry.

 

[muon]

Was definitely intentional. He at least refused to lie in that interview.

Love Max just giving a commentary on the race and ignoring the incident!
