Fernando Alonso proved a happy man after Sunday's Belgian Grand Prix. The Spaniard finished 7th, having progressed through the field, before holding off competitors that would otherwise expected to be much quicker than the McLaren Honda package.
Is that why Ric was nowhere at the start, why he won in his frist RedBull GP race? haters gonna hate.foxmulder_ms wrote:He doesn't have the Michael's speed though... lol.. He cannot even beat Ricciardo so vest is just a joke. His "moves" with Raikkonen are absolutely dangerous.
He got completely rear ended by a fool Wehrlein that was sleeping and scooped him up and damaged the car irrepairably.NL_Fer wrote:Total other question. Button started 8th. How did he crash with a Manor?

Turn 1 incident was nothing, just racers wanting to be first. These things happen.Manoah2u wrote:it was clear vettel cut them off, if vettel had not cut them that sharp NOBODY would have been hit, and everybody came out unscarred and max praised for his daring move, though kimi would have still kept in front of him afterwards. stop blaming max for vettel's fault, really. Exegaration over the top. Complaining how F1 has become a wuss sport, but the biggest wussies are the supposed fans that scream blood and murder when the glory days action happens on track instead of boring i have no b*lls and will use DRS like a wuss. Senna a hero, Schumacher a hero, Mansell a hero, all did exactly the same. and again, the fault was not with max, the fault was with seb vettel slamming into his own teammate for crying out loud. he probably would even had that 2nd place if he went a bit more wide, he had great traction in the corner and would have been right on the tail of Nico Rosberg.
Meanwhile , nobody noticing how awful DannyRic's start was?
as i stated in my first post in this topic, that indeed was rather unwise - the straight thing tho, the corner 'happenings' imho were bold but not more than that.nokivasara wrote:Turn 1 incident was nothing, just racers wanting to be first.

The blocking VES did to RAI later on though, not nice at all. What happened to leaving a cars width?
I think Niki Lauda, Villeneuve and others have been pretty clear, it's not just the fans that react to his reckless drivning.
hotheadedness or similar to what the other drivers to to other drivers aswell? given, in this case, the driving is 'rather agressive' but i recall a certain aussie driver that drove for RB whom wasnt DannyRic that made some rather schumacher-esque moves as 'return' to incidents of his competitors, including his teammate. Same goes f.e. for Coulthard, Sutil......dont get me wrong, that doesnt take away verstappens bold moves, very much on the edge, but it simply makes me wonder why people go all out on that when its so easily forgotten that he is far from the first one to make these moves.Fulcrum wrote:Let's see Manoah2u rationalise this.dans79 wrote:So I take it your a max fan then?Manoah2u wrote: Despite crybabies crying 'rediculous' ?

Verstappen explained that the reason he was so aggressive against both Raikkonen and Vettel in the race was as a result of what happened at the first corner.
"If they screw up my race, I'm not going to make it easy for them," he said. "I think they should understand that.
"I'm not going to say: 'come on through'. But all that happened after turn one. If turn one hadn't happened, I wouldn't have been so aggressive and pushed Raikkonen out like that."
This isn't driving to be admired. This is immature hotheadedness.
Initially no, but his driving this year is making it an absolute yes. As I and others have said, his driving is going to get himself, or someone else severely injured or killed. He's like Maldonado right now, a danger to everyone around him. And just because someone else did it in the past, and got away with it doesn't make it right!!!Manoah2u wrote:...dans79 wrote:...Manoah2u wrote: ...

“But what he did afterwards that's not acceptable. What he did to Kimi twice on the straight, and to Vettel as well. Just calm down. You're going to kill someone.”
