Should be black flagged and given a race ban, the man gives absolutely zero shits about racing by the rules.
And shame on Red Bull for encouraging his man-child behaviour.

I don't know how that race can change apart from a SC. Ferrari got another 1-2 courtesy of Crashstappen.

If they didn't dish out a "double" penalty it should be another +10s for Verstappen.

Norris got +10s for overtaking off track but they reduced it by 5 because Verstappen pushed him off.

Norris won't be able to catch the Ferraris now after that unless something changes on the hards but by then he might be too far back.

20 second penalty it is but still not enough for me.

Incredible stewarding.

Last race Norris was forced off and got a penalty. This time Verstappen gets a penalty.

This time Norris was ahead.

Correct stewarding.

This is what I hate about this sport. Last week it was all okay. Lando as victim of Max his driving received the penalty. McLaren protested against the penalty, it got declined YESTERDAY. Today Max drives in the exact same manner, doing it again. Today it’s suddenly a 10 second penalty. What kind of ridiculous sport is this? How was the rulebook any different last week?

What can you do now? We lost the Ferraris. 20 second penalty ok but our race was ruined.

Wrong decision last week. Just letting go off his brakes to abuse the rules is not what stewards should allow.

Really does make you wonder just exactly what kind of driving is needed to give black flags and race bans nowadays.

To be honest, Piastri is making Ferrari win the WCC. He should be up there. And he should had been up there last week. We can blame Max for many things, but not for Ferrari outqualifying us and we not making it out of Q1.

But it's what the rules allow. No point pinning bad rules on the stewards. Both sets of decisions correct.
