    C’mon Max, spell with us: “I am sorry and ashamed for my unsportsmanlike behavior. I beg pardon to Russell, my team, the whole Circus and all the fans for my short tempered actions.”

    Is it so difficult? Instead, excuses and resentment. Such a small man in a big drivers body.

    I got the whole “let him past by a nosecone, then challenge for the corner” as that’s just standard Max.

    I don’t get the whole straightlining the corner when George was on his outside. It was all very Schumacher at Jerez in 97. I’m not Max’s biggest fan and I do enjoy watching him race, but that should have been a bigger sanction than a ten second penalty.

    Not to give it the whole “if I was the steward” spiel, but I would have given ten or eleven penalty points for that as a warning that another bit of shithousery would royally fuck his season.

    When you recall that Schumacher got disqualified from the championship for similar act, it’s hard to justify and ignore the action.

      It took the FIA a couple weeks too. Still hoping they do the right thing. This was disgraceful to the sport and we should have zero tolerance
