Then Max should goto Indy car or something. Never going to happen in F1, you can cry all you want. Hamilton proved he could win a WDC without a dominant car. Max really hasn't proven anything yet.

It's also a team sport. Even with a faster car and possibly cheating engine, Ferrari couldn't hold it together to beat the Mercs.

While Verstappen may say its not his problem, Red Bull saw it differently and gave Verstappen a hard talking to about his childish behaviour.

I doubt it, VER had every right to be be upset. if someone crunched your M for no reason would you say 'oh never mind' and I'm sure Horner understood his frustration in the circumstances.

Whats the point of throwing a tantrum after the event?
It doesn't change anything...in this case it just made Verstappen look like a deeply unpleasant person.
The stewards looked at the event to see if Verstappen was sufficiently at fault to deserve a penalty but decided to let it go.
Verstappen doesn't even have the self awareness to accept that the fault was his and at the very least say nothing.

Come on it was STR who turned into him,he has mirrors and it was a pure schoolboy error. The stewards let it go as one of those things to let STR off as he had just returned recovering from illness.

So secret they can’t keep up

Maybe some of the RB budget in excess of $400 million should go into development instead of stoking Max’s already massive ego.

HAM was actually dropped by McLaren at one time.

Max TELLS everyone he is the best on the track. Lewis demonstrates that he is the best on the track. Season after season. Race after race. Qualifying session after qualifying session.

Actions speak louder than words.

Don't think so my friend . From what I heard : MAX always said I'll show that on the track ...
But he always said : The Merc is always faster , the RB16 has lack of power and
we are hoping to close the gap...

Speaking of machinery differences, are Red Bull cars wider than Mercs? They sure seem to (especially with VER behind the wheel) hit a lot of other cars more than HAM/BOT.

Kidding aside, this weekend shows why HAM as currently still the much better driver than VER. VER spent his weekend running into Racing Points and crying about who's fault it was. He blames PER "for not giving him enough space?"

Meanwhile HAM keeps his head after a rough start and eventually you see the result. VER freaks out and still tries too get everything back at once after a bad start and unfortunately PER had to pay for his impatience this time.

At this point I'd like to see PER in a Red Bull car and see what he could do. I think the results would be surprising, especially for VER.

Edit: Also, somehow he finds a way to get the hards warmed up quicker/finds traction where BOT (and others) couldn't and falls behind a 1/4 of a lap. I'd rather see other people win to, but HAM is at the top of the game and way ahead of everyone else right now talent wise/regardless of machinary.

In other words : "DAS" did a great job today .

Yah apparently it helps avoid running into other cars as well all weekend to eh?

DAS wasn't helping BOT stay with HAM. And it didn't keep BOT that far ahead of VER. How about last year with no DAS?

Keep the excuses coming, it is entertaining.

What a surprise it must be to VER fans when the fastest guy in qualifying ends up being the fastest guy in the race.

Also huge surprise that Merc have better engineers in place to work on THEIR OWN chassis AND motor. And that they secures the best drivers to consistently secure victories and points in those cars.

But let's just keep telling max that he's better than everyone else. What a fucking joke.

Guess what? Merc is now working on their '21 car. Which means Merc will have more of an edge next year. Get used to this.

1- Last year the Mercs Party-Mode was ruling with 1080 HP .
2- The Mercs tires cooling invention-cheating worked outstanding as well...

BOT got today a red led popping up , and suddenly he got lack of power while he was P1 !
Made by Toto and HAM's overtake was a few laps later a fact .

On another note:

Race Wins:

Senna - 41
Prost - 51+
HAM = 92

Ironically, this represents the transition in Hamilton's career from a Senna-"esque" driver to a Prost-"esque" driver.

His explanation of his thought and action process during the opening laps was a clinic. Compare this to Max speaking of Perez, "HE didn't leave me enough room so HE took HIMSELF out of the race."

Once Max decides to drive his own car he will get the result all of his fans wish for.

These VER supporters must have the most fit minds in the history of the world from all of the mental gymnastics necessary to justify this BS.
