I’m really quite confused as to how McLaren messed this up so badly.

With the pace and tyre longevity it should have been 2nd.

Norris should have cleared 5s from Verstapen! Just because

So the recipe to stay ahead of someone when you are beaten is to send the other one off track to give the other guy a penalty. Dumbest rule ever.

Don’t know what this sport is trying to prove since 2016 by constantly prioritizing a Verstapen advantage!

Ridiculous…

Risk taken and lose. You know if you pass when off track you take a risk for 5 sec.

Not really, better car yes but worse driver. Max beats them all pure talent.

Didn't Verstappen also gain an advantage by going wide?

So you can now while defending, go into a corner too fast, run wide, drive your opponent off the track and they get the penalty?

Strategy error by McL, he should have let VER by and overtake him in a next occasion, just to minimise the risk of a penalty. The pace was there.

Overtaking off the track has always been a penalty
