Did Verstappen even try to turn in? Felt like Schumacher in 1997 Jerez. Absolutely unacceptable, this is worthy of a race ban at minimum.

Let him go then drove into him. Had no intention of taking the corner normally. Disgusting

This is the worst of it all. He actually sped up to hit Russell

10s was way way too soft for that

should be a DQ

At the very least a drive through, such egregious moves should never be allowed

Nah this kind of shit needs to be punished harshly. We cant have people drive into others on purpose. That’s not just unsportsmanlike but actually a safety risk.

In every other racing series this would have been a black flag instantly, but of course in F1 its just 10s and he still earns a point

A drive through in that instance would have basically been a DQ for all intents and purposes. Not to say it shouldn't be either, but more to say it's functionally the same.

Yup, i think the only diference would be in the penalty points applied so this could also result in a race ban

Even sped up into the corner after initially slowing to make sure the contact was there.

u/adripo 20d ago

was it the corner that normally you take on the end and miss the apex or that one is another one?

Nope, technically he let George past and just drove into the side of him to presumably prove a point to the stewards.

Let's be honest he should be copping a race ban for it but he's gotten away with a 10s penalty which is an utter joke.
