I think its partly the teams fault, you have 2 thoroughly toxic bosses who pander to his attitude. I find Max a very unlikeable character. Whilst he is with RBR I dont think he will ever change.

I'm not going there again. We did it to death in the British GP thread.
Hamilton was given two points for it. That's all I was pointing out.

Another race that I enjoyed, the result was a good one for McLaren.
I think that without the halo, Lewis would have been seriously injured or even killed. That slow motion footage is absolutely incredible and shows what a great job it did.
I still think Max drives the same way I drive in racing games in that he goes for corners with no regard to the outcome. The big difference is that I do it with damage turned off.

Some parallels with Vettel I wonder? It took for him to leave RB for me to actually like him.

Yeah Marko seems a piece of work, Horner doesn't seem very empathetic.
I think once the dust settles, all parties are going to see it in a different light (I hope anyway) .

Lewis seeing a specialist over a possible neck injury?

Horner was annoying as .... at Silverstone (I understood at first given the severity of the crash, but he and they went on and on). Wolff has been no better this season though - so much for relishing a challenge. Helmut Marko can go and do one; a thoroughly dislikeable character.

About time Max has some sort of comeuppance
Toto made a valid point referencing Silverstone with this incident although he was far from flapping like Christian did
His silence is deafening also…..
Hope Lewis is OK.

Sounds about right. The halo stopped him from being killed, but that rear wheel certainly knocked him in the head, as can be seen by that picture..
The question here is, if you look at Senna, he was entirely uncompromising during his entire racing career.
Every race every overtake, every competitive moment, it was him or his opposition, I'm coming through get out the way or else.
Most got out of the way, occasionally they didn't and there was a crash.
Yet he is widely regarded as one of, if not, the, best driver ever.
Are we just saying once Max has a few championships under his belt, he will be regarded as amazing rather than dangerous?
Even though his driving style will undoubtably change little.

Just watched the YouTube highlights, the clip of max walking past Lewis in his car, not even looking over….what a &£&£!!

This.
Max will never change while he’s at a team which will treat him as a messiah and defend the indefensible. No doubt his old man’s been the same throughout his life so it’s no wonder it’s never his fault.
Vettel was the same to a lesser extent when he had the messiah role. He’s only grown up and found some humility after he left them.
you know Toto wouldn’t take any **** from Hamilton and would tell him if he was being a ****. Can you say the same about Horner and Marko?
Great race. Love when those two go out as makes the race so much more exciting.
Bottas did a great job. As did the mclaren pair. So glad DR is back. And great to see norris handle it with dignity.
Good pair there.
No idea why RBR didn't get perez to give that place back.
Hamilton and verstappen? Racing incident for me. Great job by halo!
Side note. DC was a bit of a **** taking about Hamiltons incident both bottas on podium.

Racing incident crowd sure got quiet in here

I dont understand these comments.. everyone is entitled to an opinion on race events. Its why we all bother watching!
Soldato
Even on the Autosport forums (not a great barometer, but slightly less of a British-centric membership) has racing incident out ahead of either driver to blame (Verstappen to blame more than Hamilton to blame, but both behind racing incident).
Soldato
Exciting race, great to see Mclaren get the win. Nice to see Bottas make up some places rather than just get stuck through the field like he has done in the past.
As for the Lewis/Max incident? 100% Max's fault imo. He's a complete hypocrite, complains about Hamilton not leaving him room when he did exactly the same on the first lap. Then when he runs out of space jumps the big kerb on the inside and mounts Lewis's car rather than back off and try and get past at another point? Max is by far the least likeable driver on the grid imo.

Literally the post before yours, sausage.
I was going to write something to try and disagree with you, but then I thought about it, and even the "fun" videos with him leave me feeling like he is holding back, and struggling to keep it together.
It's rare to see anything that makes you think, awww, he's a nice human like most people.
Maybe I am just missing it! However, as a fan of the sport I usually love the driver taking it to the status-quo, but I am really struggling with Max.
