When Max exited turn 1 nearly collecting the wall, I had a feeling he was going to bin it. I didn’t think it was going to be the last corner though. The body language of his car going through the lap was super aggressive, at times looking like he’s over-driving the car. Hopefully the gearbox is ok.

This circuit looks like it was all about the qualifying.. DVR to the rescue. Expecting another snoozer. (with Mercedes winning..)

Yes agree'd. He had been pushing the limits of the driveable track in practice as well narrow misses with the wall. The press are saying it was the lap of the century. No.

You get that when you make the full lap. That was the lap of the century in how not to overdrive a car. It finally told him no.

100%. No glory for putting it in a wall. Especially on an avoidable mistake.

Maybe the rules changed on what is now a "great lap"

Agree'd Max seems to have fans who think his shite doesnt stink. Bottom line - he gave away pole and nearly took himself out of the race. Nice effort yes. Special no. He crashed. Like many others.

Can he win today. Yes he can. I respect his ability but he is hardly the first driver to 'live on the edge'. Comes with the job. Thats fkn special??????

After 15 laps this race!

Ventruck · 12-04-2021, 06:55 PM

It's really Lewis' championship to lose at this point.

Max really threw what he could at this. He can't really regret it.

God-Speed · 12-04-2021, 09:20 PM

Tomorrows race is going to be a wreck fest. The first turn is going to be a fun one.

abm89 · 12-05-2021, 12:41 PM

Max literally tried some move i'd do on gran turismo. what is this?! lmao

Max is gifted and utterly teenage idiocy all in one for year. He is also on Mediums now. He will need to stop again. Dont see how he wont. LH on hard compound.

abm89 · 12-05-2021, 01:54 PM

Some piss-poor driving standards by Max today. I wouldn't have blamed Lewis if he punted him. Looking like a 90s Schumacher.

Spooler · 12-05-2021, 05:44 PM

What a chit show. At least they kinda did something with Max penalty wise. Lewis gave it back one time and they were on the radio warning the team with the quickness. WTH!!!!! A 2.5g braking with Lewis right behind him. Reminds me of a kid throwing a temper tantrum.

JARblue · 12-06-2021, 10:13 AM

Helluva race

Watched thru the 1st red flag before turning to football. Went back to watch the rest later and really enjoyed the shenanigans

At least it's winner take all for the last race. Max is a really good driver when he's not a complete idiot. In some other series back in the day I bet a number of this year's races would have ended with Lewis and Max fighting in the paddock lol
