Finishing races is important, but racing is more important.

I think its better that this will always be remembered as a dirty win. Hamilton is getting exposed by the minute.

hhhaaa. redbull and fia literally uses every dirty trick in the book and more. However, *We still rise!*
Should be ashamed for laughing and cheering the gloat of all time
The amount of couch jockeys getting their pants in a wad over a bunch of millionaires and multi-national corporate branding is the biggest bummer in all of this.

I think I'm done here. I came for the technical stuff, but there just really isn't much of that these days.
It’s utter madness. So many people are consistently posting here based on nothing but hatred and tribalism, with zero thought to anything else.

Today was on another level. Absolute hysteria because it was Hamilton and Verstappen. People need to check their emotions for two seconds before posting.

Man, people can whine all they want, but Max at the end of the day needs to learn when to dial it down from 100% when racing against other drivers.

Lewis has been backing off in almost every duel theyve had this year, and they've had quite a few.

Max has been aggressively defending every time Lewis comes at him. If you do that every single time, a crash is inevitable and its not guaranteed that you will come out of it with a car that still works.

Max had half a tracks width to his left IF he was thinking about playing it safe. IF he was thinking about not trying to win on lap 1. IF he was thinking about the championship.

Just two corners prior, Lewis went into the corner in front and could have just chopped across to block Max but he played it safe because the consequences of an accident was not worth it.

There is a difference between driving to win races/duels and driving to win championships and I'm not sure Max has figured that out yet.

I'm sure he will figure it out in time, but hopefully not too late.

Norris literally slowed down, was passed before the corner and Leclerc went off the track. Not the same thing.
Max could have gone off the track and stayed in the race. It was an option available to him.
Hamilton could have avoided trying to overtake and avoided a penalty too. :)

Yeah right? All the 'plus points' that Hamilton's fans used to count that he had on Schumacher, are going right out the window one by one.

Haha I love how mad you racists are you're a disgrace to society so f*** off.
You're no better rooting a cheating thug
How did he cheat?

If you can't say anything intelligent please don't say anything at all.
Are you blind? He sent Max to the hospital.

Sadly the site has turned into fandom not technical info, in race forum anyways

Was watching WEC, at Monza, just heard that Lewis won by crashing Max out of the race. I´m gonna be away from F1 forums for a while :)

However, it should make Max even stronger, mentally - if he will be fine after this pathetic attack on his life...

Get out of here with you utterly ridiculous comments. Max turned in when he knew a car was there!
Despite giving a car's width and the driver behind him understeering into him - it's his fault ofcourse.

If you noticed, Verstappen was desperate to defend because more rear wing, Hamilton was desperate to overtake because cooks tyres in dirty air. So they met in the middle. :wink:

But it’s not possible Christian Horner said so. #-o
Again, not the same thing.
Of course it is Hamilton overtook in the same corner Christian Horner said wasn’t an overtaking place…….Twice.

You are the one getting exposed. Do you realize Hamilton is regarded as one of the cleanest F1 champs. As how some drivers feel about Max's tactics.

Exactly this.
