Naw, he's just helping Red Bull find the rest of Max's car!


Not sure why he did this, but it's one of a few things that Seb has done lately that show how decent a guy he is. This was no photo op, and he was seen cleaning up the stands for quite a while. So kudos to him. Not so much to the crowds who left the sh!t behind, though.

Apparently, today he's been photographed at a recycling facility.
You know where this is going, right? It's not "Seb the philanthropist" at all. It's either a sponsorship for AM or some sort of feel-good piece about the sustainability of F1. "From fan's garbage to a Formula 1 engine" or something.

Seb is actually pretty active with sustainability programs. He doesn’t have social media which is why you don’t hear about it. Aston Martin is probably promoting it more.

Did you guys see this. Now I am pissed off.

[abm89]

What in the actual f. I get the accident was at high speed but the incident itself is hardly comparable to the sh-t Michael and Ayrton did.

LMAO, a lot of people have said Lewis can only win from the front and that he is not a real race driver. Well give me the name of any great driver that was not an ******* on the track win it cam to winning.

I guess everyone has forgot a the chit between Lewis and Niko during Niko's last two years. Lewis and Seb and Seb and Charles. Hell Seb constantly was close to maxing out the points on super license.

Mercedes has explained it only went ahead with its British Grand Prix victory celebrations because it had been told by Red Bull and the FIA that Max Verstappen was uninjured.

Max is such an whine bag.

[Hotrodz]

Max has been coddled all his life and it is obvious he has never had to fight to get to the top. Yes he has talent and is number two in that department but he is a wuss if he has to battle. I have played sports all my life and baseball paid for my college. I would taunt pitchers because most were soft and were not mentally tough. I would challenge them in many ways just to see if they give me the old high and tight. Most wouldn't and of those that did they did it timidly. Max is like that, just another punk with talent and no fight. He has not one a championship and wants the respect and honor that come with it. Do you think for one minute any of the other champions on the grid would hove done anything different than Lewis...hell no! Kimi would have taken him out just for chits and giggles LMAO.

F1 should let Hamilton/Verstappen duel rip, says Webber

Formula 1 shouldn't do anything to temper the fierce rivalry between Lewis Hamilton and Max Verstappen, says grand prix winner Mark Webber.

The Australian has called on the category to embrace the rivalry between the two star drivers, and the growing tension between the Mercedes and Red Bull squads off the back of the controversial first-lap clash at Silverstone.

Hamilton was handed a 10-second time penalty for his role in the clash - which resulted in a 51g impact for Verstappen - but still fought back to win the British Grand Prix.

That prompted some fiery reaction from the Red Bull camp, Hamilton accused of dirty driving by Christian Horner, while Helmut Marko even called for him to be benched for a race.

Speaking during a W Series media call on Tuesday, Webber was asked if Formula 1 should intervene to stop the rivalry escalating.

His answer was a resounding no, the nine-time grand prix winner hoping we see more intense wheel-to-wheel action as the season wears on.

"It's brilliant. It's exactly what we want," he said.

"I think it was one of the best first laps we've seen in a long time.

"It's been coming, they've had some brilliant wheel-to-wheel battles – Barcelona, Imola, Bahrain. We all knew this was coming. Bring on more of it.

"The sense of occasion at Silverstone was just extraordinary, it was one of the best grands prix I've been to in a long time. The fans, 120,000 there on race day. The two big boys on the front row.

"A brilliant first lap – they just missed each other in Turn 1 on the exit, wheel-to-wheel on the run to Brooklands, and the obviously Lewis had a go into Copse and it didn't quite work out."

The British GP triumph for Hamilton and DNF for Verstappen has put the title fight on a knife-edge, the Dutchman's lead in the standings now just eight points.

Looking ahead to this weekend's Hungarian GP, Webber says Verstappen should have the car advantage, but that Hamilton has proven he can win at the Hungaroring in inferior equipment in the past.

"I think that Lewis is magical at Budapest, he's absolutely phenomenal at that track," said Webber. "Mind you Max is handy as well.

"I think the Red Bull will be strong at that track, so Max could have a bit of a Red Bull Ring sort of weekend – pole and then disappear. Lewis might not get a punch on him.

"But let's see. As I said, Hamilton has won a lot of races at the Hungaroring in sub-par machinery.

"Races he had no right to win, but he did win. Hamilton is going to need to be at his best again. Verstappen is... you know, he's a gladiator. That's exactly what we expect of him.

"It's going to be a good weekend."

Webber also tipped more clashes between the two contenders as they do battle for the 2021 crown.

"Every race is important now, and inevitably there will be some more carbon fibre between the pair of them going into the air," he added.

"But happy days, that's what we watch the sport for. Two of the best duking it out."

A known 'pure racer' speaks on the sad racing incident and Max stupidity!

In the words of very respected racing driver Randy Pobst:

“Clean pass attempt by Hamilton. Verstappen saw him (Or dang well should have!) and turned in anyway, causing the contact. Hamilton actually backed off trying to avoid him. I had the exact incident in my very first pro win, in Volkswagen Cup St Petersburg, FL, 1985. I got into his vision in the brake zone, but the driver turned in , reactively. Too late, sorry, the car is already there, and you have seen it. You must now leave a lane; racing room. This is utterly clear to me. Racing is about vision. Who can see whom. Don’t hit what you can see! (Yeah, that car in your peripheral vision right when you were just about to turn in)”
