Is it Max Verstappen nick name Crash Musthappen & Christian Horner nick name Whinger Spice

 

[MrCurry]

Whinger Spice's mantra today: "Max earned the right... Max earned the right... Max earned the right..."

Entitled, much?

Does he also think Lewis earned the right to be left space at turn 4 on lap 1? Seems like whenever Lewis doesn’t jump out of the way to avoid a collision, Max lets it happen.

Correct.

I think Johnnie Herbert nailed it.

He said that any racing driver would have looked at the diminishing amount of tarmac in front of Max and backed out, and taken to the bumps, then tried to nail Hammy on the exit of the chicane. No-one could reasonably expect Hammy - leading - to "turn right" and drive off the track in order to give Max a full width at the apex of the corner he was taking. He reckoned it would be better all round to call it a racing incident, but if blame were to be apportioned, Max is in the wrong.

Sky bods are having a right old ding dong about the crash.

 

[Zapp Brannigan]

45 points for McLaren, the highest (non double points stupidity) weekend total ever. 1 & 2, fastest lap, and a point from the sprint race.

 

[MrCurry]

Felipe Massa on the F1 YouTube channel post race show calling it as 50/50

The beeb radio commentary had it as "Max would rather have the crash than finish behind Hamilton".

In which case it's definitely deliberate and the only reasonable solution is a lifetime ban for both the driver and the team.

That’s how I would call it too. I think that it was the bounce off the kerb that really caused it to be so bad. If it hadn’t been for that they both would have got round, tight, but relatively safely.

OK guys the bar is calling, see you all in two weeks for Russia

If wishing made it so.

[Ax^]

Ooh, shite, sorry, missed you were on catch-up But at least you'd already seen Max v Lewis Round 2

 

[Limejuice]

It looks like the stewards agreed with the Johnnie Herbert and Damon Hill conclusion, and Paul di Resta can go fish.

Satisfactory.

 

[spitfire]

Whingers “reasonable” 50/50 attitude in the post race interview was a huge tell. I’ll be looking for that in the future.

My Mrs called it when Whinger said, "The important thing is that the halo system worked and there were no serious injuries."

She actually said, "Horner surrenders."

hehe no harm no foul did not click on the alert


what a fucking race


Get in Danny Ric, lando and Mclearn

 

[Ax^]

have a bit of a soft spot for the Aussie, its hard not to like the fella


hope this is a start of him being confident in the papaya car

 

[a_chap]

Bloody hell

 

[Ax^]

as i've not seen the post race interviews

and going against what brundle is saying


it a racing incident and both of them should be giving the hair dryer treatment of what the fuck did you think was going to happen

saying that as lewis was ahead, max should of been smarter and yielded into that corner and got him at the down the run to the next corner

He’s a legend. Doesn’t half talk some word salad but it’s all entertaining stuff.

 

[Ax^]

hmm did anyone know he could speak italian

if not maybe a Red car move in the future after that little speach

 

[Ax^]

Max being a dick in post race interview "why did you not yield for me"

its called racing

he is a great talent but still has things to learn

 

[Ax^]

 

[Lord Camomile]

Why can't these lads just leave each other enough space?

 

[Ax^]

as i'm not a max fan or a lewis fan

i will say that if the car in front has both front wheels clear and in front of your front axle more so if its half a car in front

throwing your own car in and thinking the other driver will just yeild is pretty optimistic


saying that you have to be an entitled prick to be a sucessful racing driver

are we amazed Max and Lewis are crashing

 

[Badgers]

Avoided the result all day and just finished the C4 highlights

Great race and YES Mclaren

 

[Badgers]

Whinger Spice and Max VerChrashen are joking if they think that was 50/50
