F1 2025 - Previous Rounds

[Pure_Ownage]

Watching that from Davidson you can see exactly why Max was so pissed about giving the place to George.

To be fair I don't think the team should have told him to give the place back-i would have driven on and fight it with the stewards after. But Max is experienced enough to know to just do it and take the points in 5th instead he lost the plot.

 

[StFly]

In a nutshell;
Papaya: "this gig is easy huh?"
RB: Max: REEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE everything is horrible broken and FU George. Yuki: exists.
RBR: Hadjar: Did well. Lawson: drove into people and held up half the field.
Merc: Kimi: I dinnae have the powah capn. Russ: "DAFUQ dat guy doin?"
Ferrari: "Hey, we didn't bottle a pit stop, I call that a win"
Sauber: Hulk Smash.
Alonso: 1st points baby! Get in.
Alpine: Dead without Gasly.
Williams: Might as well have not shown up.

DOTD was Hulk for mine, there was no good reason why he ended up 5th in that Sauber, but he did, and, he avoided Lawson multiple times back when he was in the "I'll just drive through you" instances. That's gotta count for something.

Rosberg went from "it's Max's fault" to "unlucky touch" when he realised max didn't move and Leclerc drove into him.

Leclerc was far enough ahead that it was his corner (I know they weren't quite at the corner yet but leclerc inevitably had the racing line) and he doesn't change his line. He didn't have to yield.
Russell is different because he wasn't as far alongside Max and hit him from behind.

Max not at fault for the first two.
Doesn’t excuse crashing into George at the end.

Yep
RB made two errors in the end there
1. Having Max pit under the SC. I reckon he would have been quicker on his old softs.
2. Telling him to let George through. That first crash was 100% on Russell losing control, and RB would have enough replays to see that.

It was a straight

 

[Rod Stroker]

Strange from RB to relent like they did. Why didn't they wait to be told by the stewards? Bizarre

 

[StFly]

He did but unfortunately that's gonna get lost in the wash because Max lost the plot at Horner on the radio and then hit Russell.

I'm saying congrats Lawson, you're P10 and in wash going Max - no driving into people as an angry boy an GTFO outta that result as a DQ. Knowing full well he almost bottled it on restart cause new hards and it was a racing incident with Charles due to that, then George drove into him you just don't do what Max did so no points for you.

 

[Aussie pie]

Sky now doing a pole should max have been disqualified. They left out the rest of the question, because he hit a British driver.

Stewards don't tell them anymore. They leave it up to the teams to make the decision themselves.

Not lost in the wash. Could’ve been dealt with by stewards. Max isn’t the Judge, jury and (maybe) executioner.

 

[NSWCROW]

The petulance

 

[Aussie pie]

Look I genuinely like Max at times mainly because he pisses off the Brits but this Max deserves a kick up the arse and a punch to the head.

 

[Rod Stroker]

Stewards don't tell them anymore. They leave it up to the teams to make the decision themselves.

What I meant was, wait until the end of the race to see if they would face any penalties.
They made the wrong call to tell him to give up the place.

Oh who gives a **** what Sky do.

Seriously, is this what this board is going to be when an Aussie is doing well?
80% of the F1 threads these days are people bitching and whining about the British broadcaster not spending enough time talking about Piastri. Who gives a ****

 

[Chuckie357]

Everyone seems to be forgetting that Verstappen accused Leclerc of hitting him on the restart when he simply lost control of his own car

 

[FR0GGY]

This poor interviewer, so awkward

 

[Bradesmaen]

No he didn't, he accused him of coming across and ramming him. Ramming was a bit much but the angles clearly show Leclerc was not going straight down the straight and came across Verstappen.

 

[NSWCROW]

lol Lando no-selling the Max-George question

 

[juice t]

Another major milestone that might get lost in this
That's now 50 Grand Prix victories for Australian drivers

Sir Jack has 14
AJ has 12
Webber has 9
Ricciardo has 8
Oscar now has 7

Oscar has also matched Brabham and Jones for the most wins in a season by an Australian driver (5)... and there's still 2/3rds of the season remaining

 

[FR0GGY]

Nah he was talking about the straight where they did touch.

Too many chicken littles. It's ****ing shit.

 

[smasha]

Salty woman interviewing Lando.
Reckons he would have won with a good start.
Woulda coulda shoulda

I’m talking about when he wobbled on his own with no one around him

And he's not.
