Exactly! This is what racing, and especially tightly fought wheel to wheel racing is all about. And is not like Max pulled this out of his ass suddenly. This is how he races. Everyone knows that. If anything, I think it's rather respectful of him to treat any car he encounters like this- ruthlessly. Be that a Williams or Ferrari or a McLaren. To expect him to let go of the race, because he doesn't need the points is extremely insulting to the sport, I think.
While a clean race is always nice, these incidents are what make racing as exciting as it is. Otherwise it will just be dudes driving around in circles in insanely fast cars.
Max is more of a menace than Seb Vettel in a Red Bull. This is exactly what Vettel also would have done. Or probably even Lewis or Charles. Stop making him look like the biggest baddest bully on the paddock. It looks juvenile and stupid.
I feel like a lot of people have forgotten what racing is all about. Sure, it always has to be a clean fight -> No nasty knock-offs and assassination attempts. I also get it. You're more nervous when it's your favorite driver. But if it starts to be that they easily give up their positions without a fight, it won't be racing at all. I blame both, Max and Lando, for the accident. They both screwed up. What I like most is how Max has grown up. A few years back, he might have acted like Lando.
#aight here we go again#you cannot love him only when hes 30 sec ahead of everyone and therefore not required to race#and make him the villian when he does!#i understand that it could have been better#but that does not mean Lando and McLaren gets to be such a wuss about it#max verstappen#lando norris#formula 1#f1#austria gp 2024#Lando has some growing up to do#despite his 6 years here
