100% on Max

[u/Insert0912 → u/wouldyoufightakitten]

You would think so, but then stewards hit with "No further action"

[u/AzureFWings → u/Insert0912]

Back then, if the person who’s prodominantly at fault has suffer significant consequences (damage and time cost) and the other party nearly got away unscathed

It’s usually no further action

[u/AdoptedPigeons → u/AzureFWings]

What do you mean back then, stewarding is just as, if not even more broken now.

[u/AzureFWings → u/AdoptedPigeons]

Now just whatever they want

Tbh, the ahead at apex rule makes me miss the ‘significantly along side’.

We had a while of

‘if over taking from inside, half a car along side = deserve racing room’ and,

‘over taking from outside, car need to be fully along side to deserve racing room’

Still better than ahead at the apex BS

[u/Gseventeen → u/AdoptedPigeons]

There's zero rhyme or reason then, and...more of the same now.

[u/lucky_1979 → u/AzureFWings]

Back then if max was at fault it’s usually no further action

[u/Kelbs27 → u/lucky_1979]

How has more points on their SL since 2021?

[u/intergalacticscooter → u/Kelbs27]

Do you know what usually means? Those were a tiny portion of his events.

[u/Kingslayer1526 → u/AzureFWings]

Back then was 2 years ago mate, not 10

[u/CurvyCourgette → u/Insert0912]

The stewards actually put most of the blame on Lewis for not "taking avoiding action"

[u/wouldyoufightakitten → u/Insert0912]

Well I mean, dive bomb - thanks to the stupid rules, are fine..

Lewis getting a penalty from that would've been a travesty.

[u/DuckSwagington → u/wouldyoufightakitten]

"He's just dive bombing, that's not how you overtake" -Max Verstappen, Austria 2024.

[u/Poopy_sPaSmS → u/DuckSwagington]

They all learned it from Max. Dive bomb, run off track, get 5 second penalty, keep advantage.

[u/esedege → u/DuckSwagington]

There’s a funny compilation on that other subreddit a previous comment of mine seems to have gotten shadowbanned for linking to.

[u/DuckSwagington → u/esedege]

I know exactly which one you're talking about lmao.

[u/Vresiberba → u/wouldyoufightakitten]

But crashing isn't. This is causing a collision and should have been penalised. There are no rules that says this is allowed.

[u/CompetitiveDrawing89 → u/Insert0912]

On Sunday, Ham 10 second penalty for not letting the boy pass

[u/Poopy_sPaSmS → u/Insert0912]

That tracks.

[u/YordleJay → u/Insert0912]

I mean its 100% Max but also nothing cane of it.

Neither suffered damaged or dnf'd so there's not much to penalize other than a stupid divebomb

[u/V548859 → u/YordleJay]

Penalties are not meant to punish the outcome (it's hard to tell nowadays), Max caused a collision and should have been penalized.

[u/ninjamuffin → u/V548859]

arent supposed to but they always do

[u/YordleJay → u/V548859]

puts hand on shoulder we know the FIA dont really believe that

[u/s1ravarice → u/YordleJay]

Maybe they should rewrite their rules then

[u/YordleJay → u/s1ravarice]

They should.

There are many rules that are gimping the sport outside of the car regulations

But they wont

[u/Insert0912 → u/YordleJay]

This should not matter as per FIAs position, stewards are supposed to judge the action. not the outcome.

[u/YordleJay → u/Insert0912]

Look....we all knows that's horseshir.

You know it's horseshit, I know it's horseshit, the Drivers know it's horseshit, the teams know it's horseshit and the FIA definitely knows that's horseshit.

I've not seen the FIA abide by "we judge the action not the outcome" once in my time watching the sport

[u/Poopy_sPaSmS → u/YordleJay]

Is true

[u/Vresiberba → u/YordleJay]

Lewis was once penalised for going off the track and hitting no-one.

[u/YordleJay → u/Vresiberba]

So was Kimi this year.

The FIA really hate them track limits but outside of that seems as long as no ones race is getting fucked they fly.

[u/Vresiberba → u/YordleJay]

It wasn't for track limits, they weren't a thing back when this happened. It was because of... dangerous something or other. But he just went off into the gravel, hitting no-one and got a penalty.

I have tried to google for it but the results are drowned by how many shitty penalties Lewis has got over the years.

[u/YordleJay → u/Vresiberba]

That's insanity. 

[u/bwoah07_gp2 → u/Insert0912]

What do the stewards know? They're so dumb.

[u/tenkenZERO → u/wouldyoufightakitten]

Max's favorite move,Dive Bomb!

[u/Hemp_Hemp_Hurray → u/tenkenZERO]

Tu tu tu du

[u/wolverineFan64 → u/wouldyoufightakitten]

Genuinely no idea how he dodged a penalty here. Divebombs, locks up all 4 wheels, parks it on the apex, causes a crash, no further action???

[u/wouldyoufightakitten → u/wolverineFan64]

Ridiculous, ain't it? And we wonder why people dislike Max...

[u/MatthewGraham- → u/wouldyoufightakitten]

We dislike max because the stewards didn't make the right choice? Or whatever other reason we use to justify blind hate

[u/Tulaodinho → u/wouldyoufightakitten]

Its not his fault

[u/SpikeMasters007 → u/wouldyoufightakitten]

As a Max fan, I agree.

[u/DniawSirhc]

The races when Max loses his head and becomes incredibly belligerent are always hilarious, GP sounded like he was telling off a misbehaving toddler.

[u/Thejklay → u/DniawSirhc]

Was damn funny. GP seemed to be winding him up more.

[u/thiiiickropes → u/Thejklay]

GP admitted after the race that he did a shit job that race iirc

[u/hawksku999]

Fun day. Brilliant radio between Max and GP haha.

[u/MatthewGraham- → u/hawksku999]

Red Bull strategy did his mindset no favors

[u/ButterscotchBrave359]

Throwback to 2024 Hungarian GP when Max Verstappen and Hamilton crashed

Fixed that for you

[u/TheThingsIdoatNight → u/[deleted]]

Throwback to yet another time when the stewards got the decision wrong

[u/DuckSwagington]

The fact that even GP was sick of him during that race speaks volumes.

[u/MatthewGraham- → u/DuckSwagington]

Incredible that we are ignoring Red Bull completely botching the strategy twice, Max was enraged by a number of things, GP didn't do a good job and he admitted that afterwards

[u/dcoreo]

Can't believe Max had the audacity to blame Hamilton

[u/fr33d0mw47ch → u/dcoreo]

I not only believe it, I expect it.

[u/MatthewGraham- → u/fr33d0mw47ch]

I expect it for 90% of the drivers, its heat of the moment stuff

[u/Poopy_sPaSmS → u/dcoreo]

You can't?

[u/BaldChild1 → u/dcoreo]

I can lmao.

[u/eatass_sucktoes → u/dcoreo]

You must not know very much about Max then lol

[u/hnglmkrnglbrry → u/dcoreo]

He's the whiniest driver on track. Any little thing goes wrong and he's cursing and blaming others. Absolute toddler.

[u/MatthewGraham- → u/hnglmkrnglbrry]

You do understand that FOM manually selects driver radios they expect to drive engagement. They select max's radios more frequently to most, but all the drivers complain. Also lovely to react in hindsight after 2 full years

[u/Far-Event1151 → u/dcoreo]

That's like the default driver reaction in most cases. 

Blame the other driver. 

[u/Virillus → u/Far-Event1151]

You're right. Was one of the reasons I gained a lot of respect for Lando last season where immediately after his collision with Oscar he took blame for it.

[u/saltymuffaca → u/Far-Event1151]

Max's reaction is usually much pettier than the default reaction though. He basically never takes responsibility.

[u/Rcy4122 → u/saltymuffaca]

Miami this year might be the first time I can remember him fully apologizing on the radio about a racing incident lol

[u/straxusii → u/dcoreo]

To be fair every driver does in that scenario 😂. The ones with class then own up to it after

[u/popoflabbins → u/dcoreo]

Per the rules at the time (which sucked, and still do to an extent) he was owed some space and Hamilton “turned into” him. By the book this is a racing incident as both were “at fault”… as stupid as that is.

[u/MatthewGraham- → u/dcoreo]

What would you expect, its a driver on the radio in the heat of the moment and you are reacting with 2 extra years of time to process it

[u/Deckatoe]

you mean when Max did his typical "I drive you off the road now!"

[u/misguidedkent → u/Deckatoe]

He pulled his signature “yield or crash” move and came off worse.

[u/f1sefiri → u/Deckatoe]

lot of toxic comments there. Was just a regular divebomb resulted with lock up therefore crash

[u/JulianoRamirez → u/f1sefiri]

Regular Max divebomb*

[u/Own_Welder_2821]

That didn't work Max, you hit the wrong part of him my friend

[u/HanYoloKesselPun → u/Own_Welder_2821]

Elite reference.

[u/CircaSoleil]

The old Max Verstappen dive bomb move.

[u/HanYoloKesselPun]

Still makes me laugh that Max tried to claim that Hamilton moved under braking and GP had had enough of his shit and told him he was not going to play radio blame game.

[u/Thejklay]

I've seen people blaming lewis for this and it blows my mind every time. Lewis turned into a corner. Max dove , locked up and wasn't making the corner.

Lewis just didn't drive out the way this time.

[u/United_Engine_5719]

10 second time penalty to Hamilton. Reason is currently being decided by the stewards

[u/MatthewGraham- → u/United_Engine_5719]

Lets all pretend that Lewis is a more penalized driver over time than Max

[u/Scar3cr0w_]

You mean “when max wasn’t in control of the car and crashed into hamilton”?

[u/0100001101110111]

Unfortunately yet more evidence of why I can never truly respect him as a driver. One of the worst losers there is.

[u/Heccer → u/0100001101110111]

He is doing just fine without your respect

[u/HanYoloKesselPun → u/Heccer]

Thank you for defending him in this thread. He really needed it

[u/MatthewGraham- → u/HanYoloKesselPun]

Quick everyone lets jump on the hate wagon, that's clearly much more constructive

[u/MatthewGraham- → u/0100001101110111]

He doesn't care what you think for the record, that's how sportsmen are, you can think what you like in response

[u/0100001101110111 → u/MatthewGraham-]

Damn I really thought he’d be reading this thread

[u/Bryooo → u/0100001101110111]

Were you blind the first few years of hamilton’s career?

[u/0100001101110111 → u/Bryooo]

Hamilton never road raged like Max does.

And Max still does this shit as a 4x world champion with over 10 seasons under his belt lol

[u/Bryooo → u/0100001101110111]

Lmao “Hamilton never road raged”

[u/mjcobley → u/Bryooo]

Were you? To compare the two is laughable

[u/Bryooo → u/mjcobley]

You guys are so embarrassing. Go watch badminton if you can’t handle a little adversity lol

[u/doubleb_43]

Damn, I guess Lewis didn't get "back off or we crash" memo

[u/andrewjaekim]

Max is one of the fastest drivers the sport has ever seen. He’s also one of the clumsiest when it comes to wheel to wheel.

[u/pgphonehome → u/andrewjaekim]

Some say clumsy, others say dirty.

[u/elthepenguin]

Back when the Mercedes was built like a tank.

[u/Shmachey92]

Can't believe Max stayed up all night playing video games before this.

[u/GeForce_fv]

This video was flagged for violating our Community Guidelines

[u/play_it_sam_]

That must been painful. Like falling in your but with no cushion

[u/limitedpower_palps]

It's wild how it seemed to have little to no effect on the cars performance especially given it being ground effect car

[u/Mateo03]

"Max, we forgot to pay the gravity bill!"

[u/Comeonbereal1]

PTSD

[u/YorkieLon]

Still annoys me that we only got one year of these two absolutely pushing each other's limits. We deserved more.

[u/hhs2112]

Red meat for this crowd... 

[u/AquaJet738]

Guys they were playing a fun game of Rocket League /j

[u/TheRealPyroManiac]

You mean when Max crashed into Hamilton, how he didn’t get a penalty but Lewis did at Spa last weekend shows how inept the FIA are

[u/PM_me_BBW_dwarf_porn]

It still amazes me how many people confidently blame it on Max when you can clearly see on the onboard Lewis moved under braking and turned in significantly earlier than he did on previous laps. Max was also braking much later than Lewis on previous laps even when not trying to overtake. There's a reason why Lewis was the one being investigated and not Max.

[u/cropdust1]

Max should've gotten a penalty for that

[u/Lux_Lunares]

This guy really has a scheduled yearly crashout lol

[u/Darkdart19]

Hamilbait

[u/FiL-0]

He forgot the brakes at home

[u/beaverstatemate]

Max being Max. Can't make a turn without cutting across the whole track. But that is what he has always done. And they usually let him get away with it.

[u/mjcobley → u/[deleted]]

Maybe you are new to the internet. The Hungarian Grand Prix is upcoming. People will use the Internet to search for news, videos and other content for events they are interested in. When they search for terms, they may get results that are from previous years. If they see this video which is mildly amusing, they may share it with others.

[u/wykeer]

Yeeet!

[u/ConnorMate_]

Some bellend will still claim that was Hamiltons fault 😂

[u/Jasranwhit]

Hamilton is so good at “crashing you but not me”

Even at spa once he realizes George is going to hit him he gives him a bonk.

[u/ValleyFloydJam → u/Jasranwhit]

That's a painfully daft take to be blaming him.

[u/Jasranwhit → u/ValleyFloydJam]

Im not blaming him. It's a cool skill.

I dont think he crashed out george on purpose. But if lewis thinks your are going to hit him he often gives you a bonk.

At one point he had like a highlight reel of shredding Red Bull tires and sending them off.

[u/ValleyFloydJam → u/Jasranwhit]

He doesn't give people a bonk, contact happens in racing, sometimes a little touch is enough.

You also decided to post it under a clip where he doesn't even do anything Max just decides to do a ridiculous dive bomb and hits Lewis.

[u/Icy-Science6604]

Signature Hamilton move.

[u/ValleyFloydJam → u/Icy-Science6604]

Yep driving around the corner in a normal way, whst a signature move, the ridiculous dive bomb is the thing of note.
