Had he used the excuse that he couldn't slow down enough for it to have happened I could have taken it, but to actually refuse to do it, lowers him in my estimation enough lower than I thought he could go. He is a fantastic driver, just does not come across as a nice person, the petulant teenager is strong in this one

He thinks he is bigger than the team. He has certainly gone down in my estimation today.

If he sinks any lower he'll be positively subterranean.
Like Senna and Schuey Sr, doesn't care who he sh*ts on to get what he wants.

P.S. Max's umm, father in law is Nelson Piquet, so he's got the perfect tutor for those nasty put-downs he seems to have acquired...
I do hope it comes back to bite him on the arse. Let's hope that at some point Checo gets ordered to let Max past and tells him to do one.
On the other hand
What a race! Superb drive by Russell all weekend and didn't bow to pressure in those last 10 laps. Could be a mighty season next year if Mercedes are back in the game.

Yes. He is good at holding up people ! Perhaps in the next race there could be a nice payback !

It was nice to see that Bad Max finally got penalised for causing an accident .

I'm not his greatest fan but I do feel he was a little hard done by in this instance, he was well along side, Hamilton knew he was there & could/should have given him more room, I was honestly expecting it to go the other way.It was nice to see that Bad Max finally got penalised for causing an accident .
Although there may have been an element of his arrogance that thought I'll arrive at the scene & they'll have to jump out of my way, a bit Sennaesque, but he came up against Hamilton who this season has so little to lose.

The stewards’ report says that he had failed to complete the overtake at T1 and had gone into T2 too fast. Whilst HAM could have left more room they felt it was predominantly VER at fault.
So, paraphrasing, I am launching into this corner like it or not, if you are in the way we crash. It’s like a Verstappen motto.
On the refusal to give the place back, there is some suggestion that this was payback for Monaco, where it is claimed that PER deliberately crashed at the end of qualifying to prevent VER improving his position. Even if any of this is true, firstly PER had given him the place to go after ALO on the understanding that he gets it back if this doesn’t happen. And regardless of what went before, VER has the driver’s championship and RBR have the team championship, so what exactly does he have to prove by petulantly ignoring team orders and stiffing his team mate? And doing it over public team radio too. A childish sense of entitlement and getting his own back? That’s the sort of behaviour that’s needed in F1. Real heroic, inspiring stuff.

Yes, Max expects the field to move aside like the red sea did for Moses...
Red Bull themselves are culpable quite frankly, because they're responsible for creating this little Caligula. Depending on how this plays out, it has the potential to be highly embarrassing.

Did not Hamilton do this to Rosberg or was it the other way around, seem to remember one of them being advised to move over & the response being that when he gets close enough I will, knowing full well they couldn't in the dirty air. Slightly different but it was to try to help the points position of the one behind.

I've got it in my mind that it was Bottas...
I mean it's not an uncommon occurrence - Sainz didn't move over yesterday either. But Max seems to take this to a whole new level. Loves team orders as long as they benefit him.
Oh wait... Senna had a say at Lotus as to who his team mate was... Ergo Johnny Dumfries and Satoru Nakajima...
