He moved once to block and then back to the racing line as is allowed.
You can't make it more than it was just cause you don't like him. :roll:
Only he wasn't on the racing line. The racing line into turn one, is on the extreme right side of the track. Max was on the left side of the track.

Indeed, far from adding excitement, if all drivers did it we would see no overtaking.
we'd have excitement, lots of rear-ending!

any driver in front only need to look at his mirrors and mirror any movement from the driver behind and he will keep position forever, wich is exactly what Max did.

235 points have spoken #-o . That was not a racing line, Verstappen made two defensive/blocking moves.

Don't you think this is ancient history now?
Surely not..
Not with Max seemingly getting the - 'carte blanche' from both RB, & the FIA - to 'keep it coming, full speed'..

& what does Dan have to lose, for that matter - since he now knows - he aint RB's 'golden boy'..

Ok You're right. The FIA stewards and all the officials are on Max's leg and corrupt.
I still think it's old news and time to move on.

Nah, its an outstanding matter, 'moving forward' - strad..

& if by "corrupt" - you mean.. '& won't spoil the show', that may be so..

So if/when a 'big one' happens via Max, many here can justly point out.. 'I saw that coming, from way back', too..

(Strad, I must also duly note: seems you cannot 'leave it alone', either..).

False, he moved (mid straight) to the left to close the door, then to the right to return to the racing line, then to the left again to block Daniel

At the risk of sounding snippy, this is a topic to discuss the "wreck". If you want to move on, leave the topic. ;)

I agree.
It's like when the wife won't let an dispute drop and keeps it going.
But I'm finished.
It's one if those deals where people won't let you agree to disagree. Often the case around here.
You guys can just keep going around and around till the next shiny thing gets your attention. :wink:

PS
The wink is not being smartass it is because I don't carry the vitriol that permeates the site.

Yeah strad.. y'know that PS is a sly, feminine-style ploy - to 'have your cake & eat it too'.. Max would approve.. L.o.l...

Typical. It was an honest disclaimer cause I figured some would misunderstand. You prove my point. You can't even be nice around here.
What's your axe anyway. You can PM me with what I ever did to you.

Chillax strad..
Its most likely best to not 'go there' - at all - with the subjective/emotive stuff..

IMO, there's just too much room for misperception/misrepresentation - if you do.. ( & hence, the l.o.l..)

(Hell, some members here cannot even 'see the reality' in repeated, multi-angle, slo-mo, evidential video replays!)
