Freeze frame can be very deceptive. The pic no doubt shows he could see him at that point.
Would need to see video to judge exactly when the car came into view. Would be even better if there was in helmet vision to show where he was looking and just when Lando was seen.

Fair overreaction

Maybe but imagine Norris uses this excuse at turn 8 we got 2 cars heading nose 1st into the barriers at 200kmh

Like when Lewis ran Max off the road at nearly 300 at Silverstone ??

It will never happen, but there’s a bit of speculation about Ric after Perez’ disastrous weekend.

That would be an admission by Marco and Horner that they got it wrong.

Two chances of that happening,...

You think I'm a waamilton fan? He should have been crucified for that

I want to see wheel to wheel racing the rules need to prevent cars being able to push each other off to gain a position/penalty for another driver

Nah I dont think that, but he got a slap on the wrist for it.

Lewis got 10 seconds for causing the collision (if i recall correctly).
He was called out by the stewards and the same rules applied, which he was found to be at fault.

What do you think they should have done differently?

Shouldve been way more than 10 seconds for starters.

Almost the fastest corner on the F1 calendar and he put his title rival into the wall. Everyone talks about how dangerous Max can be (he can), but this was far worse.

Right.
No doubt it was a massive accident.

The only provisions they have above 10 seconds are a drive through, stop/go, or black flag.
Don't think anyone would have been unhappy at a Drive through.

But you're asking F1 to change to an outcome / corner based system.
Which absolutely isn't in any rules apart from "stewards discretion".

At the time they made the call, Max was out of the car....so they would have had limited knowledge of the impact etc.

The whole Verstappen running others drivers off the circuit goes back to Austria 2019 when he did the same thing to Leclerc in the dying laps to steal the win. The FIA didn’t penalise Max because Mercedes were still dominant and they wanted to cash in on Maxs popularity especially in Europe.

Since then he’s believed that he can always just get the inside line and force opponents off the track. He doesn’t even need to make the corner exit himself just so long as his rival isn’t too far in front.

F1 was never like that. It was leave a cars width if two drivers were alongside each other, which is self explanatory when it’s a street circuit with a wall. The FIA created this monster and now they have to deal with it.

Just glad we are heading to Brazil where Max has no history of questionable racing moves.

Oh wait

To be fair.....Ocon deserved to be punched after that one!

Agreed, but why Max felt the need to be racing a blue flag backmarker wheel to wheel I'll never know.

Well golly gosh gee.
Thanks for pointing me to the Brit defending the Brit and persecuting the non Brit.
It was like a refresher course in how to be a SKY F1 presenter.
The vision of Lando however dive bombing from way back certainly reinforces my point that Max would not have seen that move coming. And also shows that Sainz braking also left Max with no where to go except to the right to avoid a collision.
Still, Liberty got the result they wanted. Corruption in F1? Well I never…

Can't even see the turn at this point and lando is ahead, they have 3-4 car lengths to close on sainz ahead lol

You can litterally see max look where lando is 3 times on the on board camera.

I don't much like either of them but only a 1 eyed max fanboi can't see what he did.

That Should have been DT penalty minimum

Engine penalty for Max this week according to Helmut but we don't know how big of a penalty it will be yet.

Five place grid penalty. Makes sense given Interlagos has the most overtaking options of the remaining grand prixs. Got tix for the Sat and Sun so pumped for this!

Sounds like Alonso is still recovering from a gastro illness obtained in Mexico, so while he's more likely than not to drive, it would be cool to see local boy Felipe Drugovich get a go at his home GP. Maybe he'll get a crack FP1

Anyone read about some of the Williams crew being subjected to a hold up in Mexico?

Standard.... sadly. I enjoyed my brief visit but it's a ****ing sketchy place

Hopefully it's not another "Erebus mechanic at Bathurst" story,

It was in Brazil.

Yeah. Alex Albon was robbed by Pierre Gasly and Yuki Tsunoda.
