They are afraid to do anything to Max as daddy could put them in hospital !

But it's not even as brutal as that, they have spent the last 6-7 years building the whole team around him, they pinned everything on him becoming world champion. They could remove him from the car next weekend & replace him with the reserve driver Fittipaldi?? But then what happens in 2023 do you have a driver who doesn't want to drive for you, he presumably can't leave because of contracts, but if he just goes around what good does it do the team.

Anyone else notice they got the restart wrong again. Only two cars allowed past the safety car.

Only watched the nightlights . Sure a saw an car going slowing the inside on the restart and no comment were made

There were only 3 lapped cars. Tsunoda briefly unlapped himself in the pitlane so the system overlooked him. Explained here.

The timing system marked him as a lap down, but he'd already unlapped himself, leaving him a lap down on everyone else when the race restarted.

So much easier when you cheat

Name me a team that you know doesn't cheat , it'll be a laugh if nothing else.

You're only cheating if you get caught

Yes, don't break the eleventh commandment.

Looks like Max is sad that everyone thinks he is a bit of a bell-end...

Apparently the media should have been nicer to him and didn't ask his side of the story...

Imagine the grief he’d get if he was black!

As I understand it he's refusing to give his side of the story, although I can't condone the threats his family apparently have had to ensure.

What, the side of the story that he is not telling anybody, even if they ask? Does his disgust at the treatment his family have received include the treatment his mother doled out to Perez? Does he really think that a petty vendetta about an alleged incident half a season ago, one that has had no impact on the outcome of his championship, is worth his public display of petulance and the subsequent unpleasantness. Does he think that it's OK for Checo to let him through but not the other way around?

At least previous underhand drivers were properly malevolent about it, rather than being no better than a playground prima donna whose dad is biggest. The recent picture of all the drivers having a night out together clearly shows his place in the paddock.

I'd love to post all the pix where Hamilton didn't bother to turn up but that wouldn't prove anything either.

The picture, anyone else looking at the picture and thinking it looks odd? But can't figure out why?
