    So Max was.pushing Ocon and threatening to punch him after the race.hmmmmm

    Max didnt have to close the door so early on Ocon anyway. He could have taken him anywhere. Max needs to undersrand who he is racing too. But to push around and threaten to punch Ocon? I bet he wouldnt try that with some other drivers.

    Hornets comments after the race show why Max is so far up his own are.

    To justify Max looking to assault Ocon is just pathetic.

    I can't believe that Horner has just publicly supported Max for pushing Ocon (physically after the race) and saying he was lucky it was only a push. RBR Team Manager supports physical violence, Really? RBR I suspect are going to make an impression next year, but this attitude is unprofessional.
    Speechless.

    Feel quite sorry for Ocon. He has made a bad mistake yes, but we all make mistakes and some have small consequences and others not so small.

    With his career in a precarious state as it is I have to hope this doesn’t wreck it completely.

    It’s handbags, but nonetheless doesn’t help perceptions of Max

    Max will get the book thrown at him for getting physical, although I understand his frustrations. Hot head, and it's now finally going to bite him on the arse.

    Constantly telling my kids to be the bigger man when it comes to situations like this. I don’t think Max’s dad has ever taught his own son about rising above things and just being cool. Does he think Ocon crashed into him on purpose?

    Am I the only one thinking Max could have quite easily have avoided that incident and still come out ahead?

    Read somewhere on Twitter, "What if Seb reacted like this to the times Max has destroyed a Ferraris race". Fair point.

    Echoes of the Maldonado Hamilton incident in Valencia 2012. Six of one, half a dozen of the other.

    To be fair, Seb has wrecked a few drivers’ races in the last two seasons and knows it. Mature drivers understand this is racing, and sometimes you are the bad guy and sometimes the victim. Max should grow up.

    I'd have laughed my socks off if Ocon had turned around and decked the little squirt.

    Hopefully Ocon floors him after the next race. Nice parting present for F1. Looks like at worse he'll get 3 days of FIA community service. Ocon is far from blameless but Verstappen just plain drove into him. Obviously assumed no one would dare unlap themselves against the masterful Max. Nope just not happening so I'm gonna turn in regardless.

    What on earth happened to Vettel today? Literally nowhere. Bit of a surprise really.

    No you are not. Brundle goes about a lunge from Ocon. He was there, Max knew he was there. Max needs knocking off his own pedestal.

    It's nearly every race that Max is involved in some kind of crap or another. When's he going to realize what the common ingredient in all these instances is? Honestly, he's got the potential to be a great driver, but not until people stop kissing is arse, give him some proper advice and let him get his head screwed on right.

    Typical RBR bullshit....
