For me there is a difference in behavior on track and off track, If this is the behavior from Russel off track than it’s indeed not a very nice person.
Since y'all haven't figured it out yet, basically every F1 driver acts like a diva and whines in order to hope to gain some advantage, much like footballers do. Whether they do it on or off-track isn't really that relevant, it's all the same game and mentality.

I agree it's lousy to see, but to single out Russell here like basically any driver wouldn't do the same if they felt they could gain from it is more than just naive, it's willfully blind.

So did Sergio lose drive as Crofty said or did he just get turned by the car behind?
Looked to me like he dropped it and burned the clutch out when attempting to turn around.

Pretty unanimous from ex drivers that it was his mistake due to cold tires.

I reckon the issue is what caused the spin. Maybe the right driveshaft failed or something went wrong with the diff, maybe something ERS related failed. I have no clue.

I think it's unlikely that he just spun on his own at low speed, then lost drive just seconds alter.

Like I'm a big Checo hater, but even I give him the benefit of the doubt here. He was having a pretty decent race and looked comfortable enough to not make a mistake like that. Something clearly failed.

What a BS penalty for Norris. Incredible. F1 is becoming WWE.
Quite normal for speeding under double waved yellows in race conditions as far as I can tell
Some penalty, yes. Not 10 seconds stop and go, that’s just ridiculous
Nonsense. It is is the standard penalty for blatantly ignoring double waved yellows. All other drivers were over 10kph slower on the straight on that lap.

Imagine if Norris was still in WDC contention and then attracted the 35s penalty due to his incompetence! That would be yet another critical failure from Norris. :shock:

Pretty interesting! But Max is right…Russell plays it polite in front of the cameras and then will try to screw you over at the first chance! This is pretty much what he has been doing with Lewis inside Mercedes these past 3 years too…

Exactly well Max said in front of Dutch press Russell is asshole, but yeah we knew that already. Now I am not a Hamilton fan, but i respect the guy but Russell he is just a fly by, seen his start kinda understand why Toto wants to get rid of him.

What is the verdict on the punctures of Hamilton and Sainz? They were both front left punctures. This track abuses the front left tire. I don't buy that it was debris related. More drivers should have been affected. Pirelli will take this to their grave...

Sainz said it probably wasn't debris, it happened before the last corner, probably just ran the tire dead.

The reason for Pirelli raising the front tire start pressure, to protect the structure under this extensive loading.

Unsure of Sainz characteristic, but one of the observation within MB of LH driving and how he hammers the front with late aggressive braking.

Even while he was bumping wheels with Hamilton(and more recently Lando) Max never took things this personal.

Right or wrong, he 100% believes what Russell did was a cheap manipulative trick.

So if Max ends up with Mercedes at the end, we know that his teammate will be Antonelli. :)

Yes though tbh I don't think Russell has Mercedes nor Toto backing.

Can anyone clear my doubt?
Is the first-place driver allowed to do a brake test before the restart at the SC exit? Max did it on the second restart, and I don't see anyone commenting on it.
In telemetry, the brake test is very evident.
