This feels like a team that's about to implode (if they haven't started to already).

Definitely not happy with Max his behaviour today. But I do find it quite surprising that the car is suddenly less pointy and has understeer. Perez had fun with it.
cant they find a set up that suit both drivers

Sleep is for the weak!
It seems sleep is important after all to have a calm head when you don't have the fastest car!

Make no mistake, Hamilton knew exactly what he was doing. Verstappen wasnt gonna make the apex (and maybe the corner) in any case, but it's not like it's the first time someone attempted a too optimistic divebomb on someone. In that case you just wait for them to run off and undercut them on exit. Its been done a thousand times. Hamilton played a dangerous game and it worked out for him.

As for verstappen's rants on the radio, dude needs to take a chill page out of piastri's notebook.

I can’t remember the guys name, Max’s engineer that thinks he’s a celebrity by arguing and being firm with Max….

That relationship is going south after today. Some of the comments where he was trying to live up to his reputation were just stupid.

the car is still fast just look a quali times.in silverstone Max made a mistake in quali and in Austria he blew the competition in quali but a pitstop ruined his race.Max after years of domination is getting rattled by competitors.i think he should do an Alonso be consistent peak up pointsand calm down.the next races will be better because they are power track and requires aero efficiency

Really? So he managed to time it to perfection while braking from 300km/h, turning in, and then hitting Max on purpose while also being able to not break his car... Wow... Science-fiction...
Team Fernando!

Come to think of it, losing only 8 points in wdc is not too big a disaster all things considered.

WDC is safe. Max just need to manage.

And sadly that’s why I just can’t warm to my fellow Dutchman. An amazing driver but a bad example of how to conduct yourself inside the car.

The team gave him a rubbish strat today but there are ways to go about getting your team aboard. This feels like frustration that’s been building over the last 6 months or so coming out like a volcano.

Discretion is the better part of valour. Live to fight another day. Seeing the bigger picture comes with experience and age.

Gianpiero Lambiase, drivers and their engineers have very complex relationships. It's very much like a marriage. They have a way they talk to each other that makes it seem like they are fighting but that's just their way of communication.

Max, car and strategy were poor today. I am his big fan, but he has to calm down and look at the big picture. A sad day. But its still a long season ahead.

Easy for hamilton as he's the ultimate master of these games. A skill in which rash and impulsive Verstappen couldnt possibly match him.

8 points now, could be much more in a couple of hours
