Always a twat when he has competition, it’s just been a while. He has been pretty well faultless for two years but as soon as he is under pressure…meltdown

I should coco
A man universally despised by the pit lane, allegedly filled in a couple of times for pissing off the other drivers.

Enjoyed Max’s engineering basically telling him his whinging is childish

I didn’t see the race, so wondered if he’d somehow been parachuted in to replace an ill/injured driver.
I was thinking you must REALLY hold a grudge though, coz I’d thought Vettel was one of the good guys for the second half of his career.
It must be difficult following in the footsteps when your dads a cool dude . . . either way. Punditry isn't a naturalvocation.
With Max it's a bit different, his dads a weapons grade C you next tuesday, although he never won anything.
If he'd done it immediately, he could have used the tyres to the tune of 4s and won on merit.Verstappen is much worse than Vettel
LOVED seeing Lewis refusing to be bullied by Max and forcing him into a typically rash move that we haven’t seen since the season Max was gifted the World Title. He has now done it twice in the last few races. He does not do being challenged and after two and a half years of having the best car he’s being a complete dick as he finds himself second best again.
The F1 season is building brilliantly for the first time since the cheating in Abu Dhabi
Pleased for Oscar and worry that Lando may be a bit of a Prima Donna, he had to move over as he was gifted the lead to stop the Hamilton undercut which would have given him the lead over both of the McLarens, it was all very childish over the car radio, should have just agreed to let Oscar past.

Agreed, he is a bit shit at in race strategy it seems
Easy to be faultless when someone else is doing the clever/hard bit
AND its all tailored specifically to you.
And shit at starts . . . . I always tried going as fast as possible as soon as possible . . . weaving isn't fast

Not many drivers can go through two seasons making pretty well no errors, however good the car is, in fairness though
I'd give him that, but he has all the cards, born into it, pushy dad who's channelling his own dreams, from bitter failure, through his son . . .using Schumacher as an example . . . The last person to win everything at any cost. every single aspect of coaching, management, race team, designers, engineers, strategists etc etc are all geared specifically to one person, the car is designed round him. He literally cannot fail, and he's not programmed to cope with that. The more he's succeeded the worse he's got. Which is hilarious to watch . . . I'd be amazed if he has a soul to search and come out sunny side up like Vettel Did.
It's just driving cars round in circles at the end of the day. There's really no need to be a totally unpleasant cheat.

The "I thought he was supposed to leave a car's width" was particularly rich given his propensity to, in footballing terms, leave something on his opponent whenever he is challenged
I wonder now Piastri has his win whether McLaren will be more ruthless in backing Norris as the realistic championship contender? The other top teams would have no qualms about doing so, as I suggested after Silverstone they need to be a bit less collegiate and a bit more ruthless to succeed.
It’s tough to deny a youngster their first win. Much easier to get him to play the team game going forward now.

If McLaren had pitted Piastri first - as they should have done - I think Norrris would have won anyway. But Piastri deserves his win, he has been excellent this season and made more experienced drivers look ordinary.
As for Max, it was like he'd regressed 5 or 6 years to the impetuous, reckless twat he used to be. Marvellous!

Accelerating in a straight line would be a good start too.
lots of positives as a team, but lots to do.
Well at least he calmed down after the race

Max Verstappen is such a twat.
