GP and Horner apologised and he said: "It just shows who he is"

He now said in the media pen that Max has his championships because of him.

Also Checo on the in lap...
"Shows who he really is"
And an interview later...
"I don't understand why Max didn't give me the position after all I've done for him. If he has 2 championships, it's because of me"

Gonna be some fun debriefs at Red Bull later lol

so Georgie scored his first one, it was quite obvious that it was coming, after Mercedes took him that one in Bahrain

the question is, will he be putting a good performance next year to 1st: stay ahead of Lewis, 2nd: defeat the entitled dutchman that doesn't allow his team mate by for important points?

Funny that Sainz didn´t do it either but nothing about that, only the Red Bulls.

A lot of number 2 drivers might say this, but his careful blocking of Lewis at Abu Dhabi was actually pretty consequential.

I must defend Sainz here because he was going for a podium finish. A trophy is worth more than points I guess

You have to wonder how long a driver behaving like this would last under Frank & Patrick or Ron Dennis.

Also, Leclerc asked and the team said it was "too risky" cause of how close Alonso was. He wasn't told to give up the spot, with the championship wrapped up, then ignored it. MASSIVE difference imo.

Literally as long as they want, because any team wants a driver as good as Max in their team. Frank and Patrick kept Carlos Reutemann on when he did for a win. And Ron oversaw all kinds of shit in his teams

There will be zero consequences from today, and Max knows it, which is why he did it

I don't completely agree. Both teams had a history (at least later than Reutemann) of making it clear the drivers drove for the team and that where there was a conflict between driver and team, the team came first. Ron wasn't too intimidated by Prost and Senna to wimp out of giving them a bollocking when their fights affected the team as a whole.

I do, unfortunately, agree that Red Bull won't do a thing.

Dennis, Williams and Head might not have the patience, but Ferrari, Bernie and Flavio would for sure

They may have "made it clear" but they didn't do shit when things actually kicked off. It literally cost Williams at least one World Drivers' Championship. Holding Frank and Patrick up in that way when they were consistently terrible at managing their drivers is hilarious, sorry

"I have my reasons, I'm not going to tell you them, but I explained my reasons and the team and Checo must accept that"

"What are those reasons Max"

"I'm not going to get into that, but I have my reasons for doing what I did"

What a bullshit, non-answer from Max

He basically has no reason for doing what he did, but is hiding behind pretending he has a reason for his horse-shittery.

Ok, I managed to totally forget 1986

I think Frank probably had a good excuse for not being around to nip things in the bud earlier in the season. Even so, they still walked the constructors championship. My point was simply that those two teams didn't allow the drivers to forget that they were employees first and superstars second.

he's doing the Ricky Bobby way, or you go fast, or you're last

Yea, not impressed with Max's response to the team orders

There's doing questionable things that make sense.

And, there's doing questionable things that make sense while being an insufferable asshole about it in the process.

People forget, understand, forgive the former... but the latter is remembered for life. By Checo, by the fans, by every person involved in F1 including future teammates and employers of Verstappen.

Just unecessary. Sometimes Max forgets the bigger picture, and that's where he's at his worst, same on track as evidenced by leaving half his wing at turn 2 today and yesterday.

Tom Coronel has claimed that Perez deliberately spun in qualifying at Monaco, and admitted it to the team leadership.

If true, then it would help put today in context.

Yeah, I know he's mad and I don't care. I do not care. I did not care then. I do not care now. I'm here to race him.
