Alright Taz.
You love to see it.
Okay now the race is on.
Shiiiiiiiiiiiii
Mon Lando
Lewis has made an absolute tit of that.
Okay now it’s going to get heated.
Max is obviously very good, but this is where his aggression gets him in trouble.
More on Hamilton that one after seeing the replays.
Verstappen clearly had sand in his pussy from the bad pit stop
That halo saved Hamilton from being paralysed
I don't think anyone is too much to blame for that, another case of neither of them wanting to give up the corner. The only slight thing you could say is that Verstappen gets airborne off the inside curb which is technically off the track but where else was he supposed to go?
Racing into a chicane never ends well.
Lewis could've went longer with those tires as well. He should've taken a couple of more laps so had something to defend with.
It's not an obvious one but I do think Verstappen went into that one extremely gung-ho, slightly more on him.
The Sky squirming is something to behold now. Brundle will get the knuckles rapped later for not toeing the line.
For both guys that’s one they would have likely pulled out if it was anyone else. Bad pit stops for both forced that into action.
Norris is going to wind up being penalised for track limits. He's got one more warning.
Top drive so far from Norris, I wonder if they'll let him have a go at winning it.
Just looked at the Hamilton / Verstappen crash. Lewis has track position all through that corner. He can't do anything else and Max spends that corner with two wheels outside track limits. Reckless.
This is pathetic from Hill.
Damons been on the receiving end of exactly that though.
There's no way Max makes that chicane in any reasonable manner from where he entered that.
I suppose I’d be the same was it one of my own too.
He gets it slowed down for the corner but either expects more space than he's given (It's Monza, there's barely enough space as it is) or he doesn't expect the kerb to pitch him like he did. Personally, he's outside of track limits, he knows those kerbs are there to stop people taking the piss and he was very much taking the piss.
2 feet says Britain’s Johnny Herbert before calling for a penalty he doesn’t really want
I don't even need to hear what Johnny Herbert says to know it was rubbish.
Be quite funny if they just keep taking each other out and Bottas sneaks up and takes the title.
Verstappen knew his goose was cooked if Hamilton got out in front of him, so them both going out was a less bad outcome than ceding the position. Hamilton maybe could have lived to fight another day, but given the angle he came into the corner (due to the pit line) I'm not sure his line could really have been any different. He's also clearly not in the mood to yield to Verstappen's hyper-aggressive tactics. Verstappen would have probably run him off the road on the exit anyway if they hadn't collided at the apex so maybe he hoped he'd just wreck his front suspension in the contact and dance off into the sunset.
I see Toto has come out and said some of this.
From here Max has zero chance of making the corner without a crash. There just isn't the room.
He's good enough to know this as well.
3 place grid penalty for Max.
When you’ve that big a voice you can make anything happen it seems.
Lol, that's a bit much.
Did you not hear Hill after the race? Some home network bias is all well and good for any sport but he was so pathetic he should have been sacked on the spot.
Max knew exactly what he was doing. It was a bit like Senna at Suzuka 1990, either you let me through or we both crash.
I revise my position after seeing that Christian Horner thought it was a racing incident, that must mean Verstappen should probably only be let out on parole.
I think him putting the team on blast for the pitstop said something as well. Just full on Mad Max.
Anybody watched the Schumacher thing on Netflix yet?
I've just tuned in.
Looks like a bit of a puff piece to me (as time goes by I think the same about 'Senna', although stylistically that remains wonderful).
Ok, first impression.... Whoever was in charge of the subtitles needs a bullet in the head. Rather than always being on the bottom on the screen, or the top - they appear randomly all over fucking place.
Oh, and Mika Hakkinen looks the same now as he did when he was 13.
Yeah, that was pretty dull.
I was going to sign back up for it but none of this sounds worth watching. Like, Schumacher's got a mystique and whilst it's not at Senna levels, he knew the right people and always brought them along. Do we get much of Ross Brawn, Rory Byrne and Jean Todt in this?
Fair amount of Jean Todt (friend), Ross Brawn (friend) and Eddie Irvine (ex-teammate).
It was ok. Not amazing but a decent watch.
Didn't change my opinion on him too much, despite all the lovely family pictures and memories, he was still a dickhead on track and that resonates when you're watching F1 as a child.
Yeah but I still find it amazing how Ferrari came to be built around him like he was a force of personality. I guess the thing I really want is something in his own words. So that's not happening.
It's already on youtube so I'll check it out with what sounds like a foreign dub. I thought I saw a ghost when Rolf Schumacher's face popped up.

Verstappen to start at the back of the grid.
Leclerc likely to be right ahead of him, which may make it a little harder, but probably not.
In all seriousness, the rules need to be looked at a little bit. If you sustain damage after another car hits you (and it's completely not your fault) you really shouldn't be punished for having to replace those parts.
Currently, you essentially lose 2 races if someone smashes into you; you are out of that race, and you start the next race at the back.
Slippery slope and too many grey areas for that to ever work.
The current system should promote self-preservation across the grid. Max just happened to twat someone with a Suzuka ‘89.
It's part of racing, sometimes things happen that aren't your fault, that's just how it goes.
For some reason I thought Austria was the previous race. Completely forgot about Monza happening.
