As awful as it sounds, Max needs to have ten bells kicked out of him. He's always had his family to back him up, including his dad who fights all his fights for him, so he's never learned that there are consequences for behaving the way he does. He's got no humility at all.
The fact his entire family are basically Dutch do-as-you-likeys just adds to this, which is why he's never been on the receiving end of a knuckle sandwich.
Make no mistake, the whole Verstappen family is nasty, every single one of them. One of the most hated families in Holland.
Just another one of the ****ish things that Verstappen would think of when he saw Hamilton trying to reverse out, "If I walk behind his car then he won't be going anywhere"
Maybe, making the comment when Hamilton was still in his car was probably not wise.
Even though Hamilton seemed fine, it just doesn't look good. I would hope the Stewards wouldn't take that into consideration but who knows, Stewards are often ex-drivers so they might not have appreciated the comment.
Don
Ah but that would mean that Verstappen had seen that Hamilton was clearly ok (in contrast to the "drama" being created because Max did not go over and check)
Soldato
I don't really care he didn't go over and check, didn't expect him too.
It was the storming off up a live track that got my attention.
He's just had a crash there, who knows what could have come around that corner even under yellows.

Exactly, enabling Verstappen to immediately go to his next ****ish move on the list.
That's where you would be hoping for the stewards to step in. In the old days when F1 was actually quite dangerous drivers would give each other room because neither wanted to be involved in a collision, today drivers deliberately use their cars as weapons hoping that the other drive will back down, it's basically like a game of chicken with Verstappen and whenever Hamilton has held his nerve they've collided.
I don't know why the authorities don't just pass a rule that if you take a line that either forces another driver off the track or into taking evasive action to avoid a collision then it's a penalty, I mean everyone wants to see more overtaking but as the stewards made clear yesterday all the defending driver has to do is to just take the inside line and run wide on the exit blocking any move and it's fine as long as the attacking driver ****'s himself and backs down or takes to a run off, only if there's a crash it's punishable. Not exactly encouraging either safety or racing though is it?

To be fair, if someone's car was parked on my head I'd be trying to reverse out of the situation too 
Hamilton did this to kimi in spa and got the race win taken away from him
Edit. Seems a few people mentioned this , still catching up on thread
Yep, isn't that why the lasting advantage rule was brought in?
Soldato
That was my thought, presumably at the time he was trapped in the car or close to it and really didn't want to hang around.To be fair, if someone's car was parked on my head I'd be trying to reverse out of the situation too

One wouldn't think that, seeing the amount of cloggy support at the recent races.
Verstappen has an army of fans including social media. Looking through his Twitter there are many that don't believe that he can put a foot wrong and they are still saying he tried to kill Hamilton at Silverstone. It's highly amusing reading.
Well, when I lived in Holland, Jos was still racing and the Dutch hated him with a passion, to the point of being ashamed of him. It was the whole family though, they were known as Dutch travellers, leaving nothing but destruction and mess in their wake whilst constantly getting in to fights. Jos was arrested for attempted murder for trying to flatten his girlfriend with a car, a charge which mysteriously disappeared. He also cracked someone's skull after getting in to a fight over who was allowed to use a go kart track.
Like I said, they're absolute scum and anyone supporting them is likely the same.

Especially with Verstappen revving the engine still!
I'm amazed all the stuff about Jos. My girlfriend was a bigger fan than me back in those days and didn't know about any of that. Attempted murder wtf

Did anyone else feel the lack of immediate steward /Safety crew presence felt a bit wrong? I mean, one car wedged under the other and possibility of damaged fuel/hydraulic/radiator lines. Could have been leaking boiling hot fluids over the driver and potentially a fire?
I don't know - kind of felt like there should have been a quicker response? Maybe just me though?

Hamilton also drove into the rear of Kimi's car in the pits whilst Kim was waiting for the red light to change, Canada 2008. Should have received a race ban for that reckless and dangerous behaviour but only received a 10 place grid penalty. Lewis then just brushed it off as 'not seeing the red light', and 'these things happen'. Imagine all the dummies being spat at the ground if Max had done this to Lewis..
I've noticed this on the F1 posts on the various social medias lately.

I would not even compare, it was a genuine brain-fart moment, even Kimi didn't berate Lewis, simply pointing to the red light.
Coulthard and his comment at the start of the race at turn 4, Lewis expected Max to leave space because its "Max" and had to bail is no surprise etc, then when the shoe is on the other foot, Lewis blamed because he never left space and causing the collision? C4 Red Bull bias drives me nuts.
I think it was deliberate move, Max could have bailed but instead, went all in. Not a fan of Max or Red Bull at all. Max making a point of not checking on Lewis, probably a tit for tat move, likely because Max still feels aggrieved at Lewis' behaviour at Silverstone, when Lewis was unaware Max was in hospital and celebrated the win.
Enjoyed the race, delighted to see McLaren, felt a little for Lando, but good to see Danny finding his old form. Valtteri was great, and well deserved.
