F1 2022- Round 21 Brazilian GP

cleary much more going on in the background and seems to go back to last year. Very disrespectful to his engineer and the team here.

Not everytime but he has given up a place to Bottas before, Schumacher has, Senna. Verstappen has not, and now Leclerc is back into 2nd in the championship and Red Bull have yet to achieve 1-2 in the drivers championship and Max might just have fucked that up for them again.

It was arséholey by Max hes champion and cant be caught, points meant more to Checo so help the teammate ffs.

It wasn't even like Schumacher giving up a win for Barrichello in USA '02 to help him get 2nd it was over non-podium places. Very silly.

Equally hilarious to see Lewis fans trying to now claim Max is Darth Vader/Thanos all along.

I'm a fan of Max, great driver but today was a d!ck move from him not giving the place back. Costs him nothing to give up the place and Checo has always done what was asked if him by the team.

I'd imagine Max will get a bit of a dressing down in the debrief.

Mercedes looked strong all weekend, hopefully a sign that they'll be back competing for wins next year.

Not sure how the stewards came up with the 5 sec penalty for Max, he was entitled to space at the point and Hamilton just cut him off.

He essentially answered it with his reaction to the Monaco question.

It's all because of what he perceived to have happened in Monaco.

SM rumour that Perez admitted to deliberately crashing in monaco is why max didn't give up the place today

And RB had a bloody hard time finding that teammate. Max shítting on him will not be well recieved, not when it was literally pointless of Max to do.

Very silly from Max. Checo has a contract for 2023 and 2024 and Max could potentially need his help again.

Must say those Brazilian fans are great

We shall see next season if Perez needs to hold back a championship rival of Max's or let Max by again if what Max did today has consequences.

Watched with a 2 hour delay so haven't caught up on everything here.

But wow, defended Max on here for years. Absolutely disgusted with that, after all Checo has done for him. Spoilt brat. Time to find someone else to cheer for😫

Serious question, As it was instrumental only, how is it different to God Save the Queen?

Although, I did think there was a little difference in the melody, just at the very end.

Did they change anything to make it different (musically), besides the name on the track (When there is no Voice)?

Yeah it's no surprise a mountain has been made of this molehill though, the media always latch onto any little thing they can to try and use to turn Verstappen into a pantomime villain, as they have done repeatedly the last few years.

It was a spectacular own goal from Red Bull though. Just like multi21, they made an unnecessary ask of their world champion driver to hand a result to his slower teammate, and just like that time, the driver refused because that's what champions do. Never in a million years would Mercedes have asked Hamilton to gift Bottas a result after a hard fought recovery drive having been rammed off early in the race, nor would Ferrari have asked similar of Alonso or Schumacher for example, because it's just a recipe for trouble. Red Bull's obsession with never favouring their number one driver really hurts them at times.

It was amusing watching the mental gymnastics from the commentary team though, that Verstappen gifting Perez a position to help the race for P2 would definitely be the right thing to do, but Sainz gifting Leclerc a position to help the race for P2 would definitely be the wrong thing to do.

Verstappen fan here. He was a disgrace today. Watched you for years attack absolutely everything Hamilton ever did and blow it out of all proportion. Were you the guy who accused Hamilton of attempted murder? So I know you can't be neutral about this.

But he was a disgrace. There's no defending what he did. Checo has helped him whenever it has been asked, Abu Dhabi last year a prime example. And the one occasion he was asked to help back and he didn't. It's either a team sport or its not. Lost every ounce of respect I had for Max after that.

And for what it's worth, Vettel was also out of order in Malaysia
