I guess having Hamilton and Verstappen together in the Press Conference was a bit too much for F1

I think it's eminently sensible. They should be doing everything they can to diffuse any potentially 'lively' situation ahead of the race that might spill over into it. I see they kept Horner and Wolff separate too.

Smart move.

Poor Norris… he will be asked about his opinion about the incident of course…

True. That will be pretty awkward. Hopefully he can just get away with a 'no comment'!

He's good friends with max though, so I expect him to say something that helps Max's cause. We shall see.

They should have put Max and Lewis together, and that would have millions tuning in to watch it.

First question,

"So what do you both think about the lap 1 incident at Silverstone now you have had time to analyse all the details? "

Just that look of Verstappen to the right (or left, depending where they sit Norris) when asked the question... "don't you dare".

If it was Hamilton and Verstappen together, I would suspect that Hamilton would play the "Ocon" a bit. Just relax and "oh well, yeah, that's racing, but I don't believe it's my fault", provoking Verstappen in not acknowledging him in his anger.

Yor numbers are off, Lewis would have 202, Max 204.

Max doesn't care what Lewis says. Nothing he says can make Max angry.

Max yesterday: " I don’t have much to say on all the media hype and to be honest I am not interested in getting involved in any of that.
I know what happened at Silverstone as I was in the car and obviously I feel a certain way about how my race ended but now
I’m just focusing on making sure we are the best we can be on track so we can stay ahead in the championship."

lol, as we saw with Ocon in brazil and Stroll in Portugal, Max is pretty easy to make extremely angry. I'm betting most people could set Max off if they wanted to, and had the chance.

Impossible to know this.
Easy for him to say this now when he has never been deep into a championship fight before.
Same guy that shoved Ocon.

And called someone an offensive word when he did what Max did 2cweeks ago.
And also bad mouthed stewards.

Yeah, sure, sounds real level headed and unable to anger

Well all Lewis had to do was celebrate a win and it drove Max crazy. So I'd imagine if Lewis was a bad person, he could very very easily get under Max's skin.

[GOAT]

I know some peope are ‘acting’ all ‘crazy’ and stuff lately, but there is no ‘evidence’ what so ever that shows that Mercedes and Lewis are back in the game, performance wise .

Red Bull in the hands of Max still are the current reference point, therefor I expect to see a continuation of recent ‘legal’ results.

I believe Max will be motivated to the bone.

You don’t think most of the F1 drivers will be.

This race will be dependent on weather.

[GOAT]

Obviously, but some more than others.

I don’t expect Ricciardo’ thinking he could win this weekend, maybe he should, but I don’t expect him to- therefor he will be motivated in another way, maybe still to the bone, but different.
