    Honestly feels like we've just been watching the behind the scenes filming for a Drive to Survive Fictional Drama rather than D2S being the behind the scenes of real life events.

    Don't see Max caring one little bit to be honest. I don't think it'll bother him at all. Luck plays a major role in a title fight, and today he had it. Just how it works out sometimes.

    All F1 drivers are arrogant, Max especially so. I can't see how this won't bother him, for rules to be bent and then broken to give you a huge advantage in the last lap of the last race. That'll eat away at you, no matter how much you know in yourself you deserve it.

    The problem is, he would first have to believe they were bent and broken to benefit him. He feels like he is picked on and hard done by so will just see this as justice.

    Think he'll simply justify it as pay back as he's been feeling hard done by.

    Max’s mentality is that he won’t care, because as a person he has very little or no redeeming features in his personality

    BTW Hamilton should have cut verstappens rear tyres off with his wing there. He could have and driven round for even 10th


    It's very clear though this is going to court. The rules were not followed

    It's a lose/lose situation if they do. They won't change it and probably shouldn't now anyway. All that will happen is that they look like sore losers.

    What could they do. The problem was with the FIA not with Red Bull or Max, so you can't give them a penalty.

    Updated regulations which were not followed so this will end up in court 48:12 FB295D05-244D-462F-A1A2-4DDD38D00933.jpeg

    Would the race be null and void then? Max still champion.

    That's about all they can do, apart from maybe get the FIA to pay a fine?
