Max very nearly gave himself a DNF today.
If he doesn't get his attitude under control, he will definitely earn himself some DNF in the second half of the season

That move wouldnt wash in Sim racing either. It was a desperate move, and it didnt need to be. If he wasnt so flustered he would likely have got by him easy enough later on.
Max: "Today, under braking he just kept turning to the right and that is why I also locked up because I was going for the move, but I saw the car on the outside kept coming at me. Otherwise, we would've already crashed before. I had to stop the car so that is why I locked up."
Give me strength.

No further action. Blamed Lewis for not getting out of the way.
Incredible!

I’m pretty new to F1 and I have some questions…
Is max a whiny ***** on the radio all the time, is that his style? Is everyone else like that if they had the radio airtime? (I am basing this off the highlights)
Lap 63 max’s attempted overtake feels like a massive divebomb. if he had pulled it off (forcing Hamilton wide) would it have been allowed?
Why did Norris have to move over for piastri to win? Looking at the results table it’s not as if piastri is beating Norris overall for second place.
Edit ok reading the thread now lol

Turning to the right. Yeah, well it is a right hand corner Max?! Lol!
Very entertaining race actually! Mainly due to the McLaren stuff and listening to Max whine like a massive baby that didn't get a lollipop.
Really not sure what to think about Norris and Piastri. I think Norris proved he was faster and I was actually surprised he relequinshed the lead. Fair play to him. Not many other drivers would have.
Oscar didn't sound too elated. To be honest I wouldn't be either probably. Bit of a tarnished first win as it was a bit manufactured.
Max.....oh dear. Not winning at a canter in the fastest car so MAXimum toys thrown all out of the pram for miles. Honestly, he came across as such a petulant little piece of **** today. Ridiculous he didn't get a penalty for causing a collision as well.
Pleased Lewis got a podium.

As much as we laugh it off because today it isn't that significant given the still large championship gap, Max getting away with his driving standards repeatedly is very concerning and frankly, unsustainable. It is also going to fuel corruption theories.

Bizarre Steward's report.
It just seems like cheating now

Well it obviously has an impact on some and gives the anti Max brigade something to talk about. I wonder who they are?

Even Lewis described it as a racing incident...
Just caught the interview; hadn't realised he saw it that way - tbh if Lewis saw it that way and the stewards did I don't see why everyone is so outraged.
My understanding is, because they gave the early stop to Llando to stop the risk of an undercut from Lewis/Max, when usually they give the first stop decision to the lead driver.
As such Llando got an undercut advantage that effectively gained him time against Piastri. It got made worse by some Piastri mistakes, meaning Llando ended up quite a bit further down the road when it all wound at at the end.
It would have been agreed pre race that if they split like that for strategy, they would swap back to make it "fairer".
I expect they were considering it the other way around, given the grid positions!

Because the stewards report basically tried to blame Lewis and acts like they let him off, it's insane.
Bro would you just accept that people are going to talk about Max good or bad when he’s winning the WDC, or fighting for a podiumWell it obviously has an impact on some and gives the anti Max brigade something to talk about. I wonder who they are?
That’s the sport. He behaved like a massive man child today and thoroughly embarrassed himself and the team. If you want to support RB, go nuts, but you have to accept their behaviour and people commenting on it without calling in the tinfoil hat brigade and protesting against some imaginary anti-Max slander.They tried to blame Lewis? Huh?

I rather got the impression Mclaren had decided this as part of their race strategy before the race..
