On top of that, The last time that happened (1997 Michael attempted to take out Villeneuve), the aggressor was excluded from the championship. Precedent has been set.

If it happens and they let Max keep the championship, I wouldn't blame Lewis for giving F1 the finger and walking away altogether, along with his MASSIVE fanbase.

It would be interesting to see him in Indycar. He'd sell out every race by name alone.

I suspect this task will be delegated to the respective wingmen.
Bottas is leaving MB and might just be willing to end his stint there with a bang, so to speak. He did a great job of blocking into turn one on the first lap last Sunday.
And Sergio knows what side his bread is buttered on, if he wants the chance to cement his seat at Revolving-Door Bull.

They're both too respectable to stoop that low.

I at least hope they prove me right.

Remember what I told you about character. Max has none. Hamilton should be ready for his antics.

[cooltoy]

True.

I will say this: I have never seen the whole Mercedes AMG team that amped after a race. Even Valterri was hyped for stealing that P3 and he's on his way out. Talk about having a whole team behind you!

That front wing is going to be on display at their HQ for sure.

It was a sloppy race and I think this falls on the FIA more than anyone else, because on a real track half this nonsense would've never occurred. Every overtake was going to be sketchy. We even saw that deliberately handing over a position can go wrong, although I won't discount the idea that Max was being a bit cheeky on where he chose to do that. Predictably second was the best he was going to get all weekend.

Max and Horner next weekend:

The story that no one is really focus on is the medium tire decision for Max by ShiteBull lol. He saw how he could not pull away from LH at all. 1.5 was about the max time delta and LH kept pressing.

Almost 10 laps before the end they died. Totally. The tires were not cut Max said they were gone and they were before any hand over was happening. LH kept fastest lap on the hards.

Sorry Max your team stuck you on the wrong tire. You feeling lucky.........punk!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

I was a bit shocked when I saw that. He is lucky he got second. If the red flag came a few laps sooner, we would be not be talking about a tie right now.

Correct!!

Tells me RedBull know their race pace was or is suspect vs Mercedes.

Lots of good comments and discussion...
Max is todays Schumacher from the 90s, I even think watching the post race that damon hill actually mention it. It would be no surprised if he did take out Hamilton, but this has all been done before. Senna even stated it one time, to win the championship.

It will be an interesting tight fought last race....
