2024 Austrian Grand Prix - Spielberg, June 28 - 30

The Stewards are the ones responsible for Lando missing out on a win in my opinion.

The very first time Max cut from one side of the track to the other deep in the braking g zone, it should have been an immediate black and white flag as its both dangerous and destroys the ability for racing to occur.

But instead, he is repeatedly allowed to get away with it until it inevitably causes a race ending incident.

We are supposed to be beyond the stage where the FIA are going g to be asked to bring in new rules just to make one driver follow safe racing standards.

He's supposed to be past this crap by now, and the Stewards are supposed to be past treating him with kid gloves.

In the driver cool down room Russell said to the second contact Verstappen made "I guess one wasn't enough?" Lolol

[Shrieker]

"Let's give him a penalty smaller than the gap behind him"

As was the case in Saudia, when it was clear as day he brake checked another driver in the middle of a straight, which is a dq no questions asked. I've never, ever ever seen a more privileged driver or team in some 30 years of following F1. Not even the prime Ferrari international assistance days.

Fully enjoyed the laugh the 3 podium winners had while watching the incident on Tv in the cool down room.

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.

Did they touch the car straight away?

We need the footage, think everyone was collecting losing their minds

Max built a 7 second gap and the team blew it he had reason to be a angry

[renault rs26]

This one for those who kept on saying ohh max has improved max has matured blah …blah…blah. Guess it was only till nobody was catching him.

This one is for those who complained race is boring.

[Watto]

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??

Didn't see the full pit stop on the replay. But think it looks like it was served. He will be fine. Saw them replace the front wing so assume they served the penalty before that

[InsaneX_Badger]

Let's hope that it's not the only British (English) win today. Eyes on the ball game that must not be named.

It’s so easy for them not to touch in that moment. Thats the issue. Its so --- easy to not crash. Lando was outside parallel to the track. Max moved left to try and pressure and over stepped. It is that simple. If you race and put yourselves in the cars you know exactly what happened.

[MrGapes]

They held Lando in the pits for 5 secs before retiring so should be good

[DDopey]

I do find it funny that these tactics get attributed to Max, when we have seen them being executed by almost any driver with the exception of some.

So he gets to destroy his rival drivers championship points gain??? Wtf

They did? Borring

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

Like how is that logical? Weaving under braking is illegal, so as long as nothing (like a collision) happens, everything is OK?

Rulebook was closed for Ver today, unfortunately not so for Nor. 4th hit on the white line while outbreaking himself, gave the position back right away, and still penalty. Meanwhile, Ver had the guts for an odd comment right after the collision, as if the whole world is against him.
I wonder who turned the wheel to the left while braking? Nor was directly on the outside line for the whole time - somehow God himself intervened and pushed Ver towards Nor....

With Newey gone and internal wars going on, I just hope that RedBull runs out of steam, so they can revert into whining mode again, because this modus operandi is unbearable. In '21 it was Ham, this time Nor, who will get the chance next time, to be put out by Ver, when darkness fells on his eyes when being challenged for a win...

At this time, you can clearly see that there was no postman involved, because the temper is right there with his fathers...
