So because Max will ram you off you no one should try then ? That's just giving Max the advantage because he will break the rules ? Doesn't seem right
Commissario
Do you actually realise how that sounds?
Soldato
No. One could see clearly what was going to happen there. Max is well known for how he 'defends' those type of situations. It is nonsense logic to think otherwise my friend.
Soldato
Do i care? No. Its my opinion...
Plus, everyone knows the outcome at these corners when dealing with Max.

Repeating your nonsensical opinion won't make it any more correct unfortunately.
Absolutely no chance everyone else should be expected to judge that an overtake isn't on, just because it's Max and they should expect him to be allowed to break the rules.
To see it as 'an impossible' overtake that Norris shouldn't have even attempted is just laughably stupid.
We know the outcome now, hopefully with a bit of consistency - he'll try to run you wide, then incur a 10s penalty for doing so. Sooner or later, even Max will get bored of the penalties and stop doing it.

"Officer, my house was robbed!"
"Yeah, we know the guy who did it. He's always doing it. We're just going to carry on letting him, since everyone knows he does it"
To simplify and possibly fix the current issue of running someone out wide and off the track, I can think of two things: (not sure about either. Just thinking out loud)
1: Switch (back?) to a rule which says that if two cars enter a corner and on initial turn ANY PART of EITHER car is alongside the other (no matter how far), then drivers have to leave a cars width minimum from themselves and the side of the track of which the other car is against. So this would include even if someone was overtaking on the outside and had their front wing just about up to the rear tyre of their competitor they were trying to overtake.
2: A shift to using tracks which where possible, self police incidents like this by way of their design in track run off areas. i.e. Instant physical/real performance loss for running wide like grass, gravel, low grip run off area strips.
2 is difficult because we have tracks that we historically like to use, which are also used for Motorcycle racing, which limits things like curbs and runoff. Then we have safety standards to meet. We also don't like to see people get beached causing more safety cars. But perhaps with the use of strips of gravel/grass and THEN tarmac, this might be possible.
EDIT: 1 is also hard for drivers to see/know/decide if someone was "alongside" and will say that they didn't see them.

That’s hilarious. Sauce?
I don't think this would work - imagine the first Max/Norris incident from

Yeah I suppose it would need a harsh penalty for it to be effective enough. Even then, the competitor might be out entirely anyway if they got beached. Hmm. 10 second stop go penalty without being able to touch the car possibly. I guess they could still cruise back to the points. This is effectively what happened this weekend. Max got 20 seconds but still got back points.
No he doesn't, because he wouldn't be in the right position for the next corner,
If max took that racing line every time he made a lap of the. Circuit he wouldn't be one of the fastest around it.
