Lando doesn't have the race craft to beat a Max that is back to using dirty tactics.
Can you tell me what more race craft can he have being handicapped by 3 critical factors, McLaren is the 2nd fastest car is one, Max is a super driver number two and last and most important is Max is a hard racer without rules?
I give credit to Lando that he didn’t bow down and went fighting tooth and nail.
Ruthless Max and I have to say he is the real Arton 2.0 and Micheal 2.0.

Lando was breaking track limits repeatedly and dive bombing, but it's a marginal collision that results in the 10s penalty because of the outcome of the incident. Stewards overreacting to the outcome rather than the incident as always
And Max was moving in the braking zone (just as he always has and has always been allowed to do). Max just moved a bit too far this time and it bit him in the arse.

He's lucky to get just 10s penalty - you get half that for being on a white line doing no one any harm.
Right but they penalize things when there's a collision, not the driving itself
Sometimes. Sometimes they penalise no matter what. Seems to depend who it is - if you're in a backmarker team then you're getting slapped for everything.

Most fun race in a while. Merc clowns celebrating like they did anything good and Max and Lando back to child mode.

Norris didn't serve his 5s penalty for track limits, so it may become a 3-place grid drop @ Silverstone
Did they not leave the car untouched for 5 seconds in the pit??

A win is a win, George drove a clean race, the others infront didnt, four races ago they wouldnt have even had the pace to fend off Piastri

Isn't that how Max won his first grand prix and Red Bull celebrated? Shouldn't he have celebrated it?

well said

The 10 seconds was for Max steering left INTO Norris. If Max stays on the line he was on then he keeps the lead and they don't collide. He didn't. He did exactly what he always does when someone is beating him, he plays dirty and drives into them. He did it multiple times with Lewis, he's doing it now with Norris.

Should have been a stop go penalty, not the most ineffective penalty ever.

Record books shows George won in a Mercedes. No one will care about Max's return to dirty driving when under pressure. :lol:

Norris has been slaying Hamilton and glorifying Verstapen for years now!

But Hamilton has never disrespected Norris on track like that! Verstapen acting like an idiot as if he loses one win it’ll change his life!

Wanna see his words now on Max! Now that he’s raced him properly… 😉

Also if Norris didn't serve his penalty, surely he'll get another for the crew touching his car and not serving the penalty correctly? Or will they'll let it be considering the chaos of the situation and the damage he sustained.

Can't wait to see an interview with Zak.... Something tells me he won't hold his punches in the way Toto often did....

Did they touch the car straight away?
