But hats off to Max, he pushed and took risks. Small details making such a huge difference in this amazing season. RB have 30 minutes to appeal the Lewis decision after qualy. I hope Max doesn't have to change any parts. This is what I don't understand about some people - you don't have to like Max, but if you don't appreciate drivers taking risks, driving close to the edge and always giving 100%, then you don't love motorsports, simple as. It might not always be the cleverest thing to do, but damn it is pure adrenaline. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Then you're a grade A bitchy snowflake. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Subscriber RandoEFC+ 7,664 Posted December 4, 2021 Subscriber Share Posted December 4, 2021 Probably the biggest mistake Max has made all season? What a time for it. Any finish ahead of Hamilton this weekend would have 90% sure have secured the championship. Plenty of antics to come tomorrow though. Anybody not expecting it to be 1. HAM 2. VER end of lap one despite Bottas performing well in qualifying hasn't been paying much attention . Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Subscriber nudge+ 15,325 Posted December 4, 2021 Subscriber Share Posted December 4, 2021 Max might get a grid penalty if they have to change his gearbox. Would start at P8 then I think, a lot of potential to get tangled up with other cars in Turn 1 Second F2 race today had a crash that took 4 drivers out in Turn 1 Then Vips crashed out trying to overtake Drugovich, and later Lawson crashed heavily into the wall.

When they showed Max's last lap onboard I had sweaty hands again and I was so focused on it and rooting for him. His crash really felt like a punch in the guts.

MUFC 1,503 Posted December 5, 2021 Share Posted December 5, 2021 To be fair to Max, he's done well after damaged limitations this season. Even so tonight could be different if he was to get a grid penalty. In Russia he managed to get second, same in Qatar and in Mexico he started third and won the race. Is having both Mercs good on the front row? In Mexico I felt like Bottas was in a catch 22. Fend off Max while letting Lewis through which he admitted to doing. But it never worked out as it's easier said then done, plus he does have some horrid starts does Bottas. Look at tonight, they're on the front row. If Lewis get s a poor start and Bottas gets a good start, Bottas may want to stay slower and LEwis get going. But if Max gets a good start, again it might end up being a catch 22. All if's and buts though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Subscriber nudge+ 15,325 Posted December 5, 2021 Subscriber Share Posted December 5, 2021 Fuck, bad crash in F2 right after the start. Pourchaire's car suddenly stopped completely in the middle of the track, and Fittipaldi (?) crashed into him full speed.
