Wow oh wow 😡😡😡😡
So @AlpineF1Team nor @PierreGASLY complained to the stewards, it was the @fia who decided to investigate with all their cameras available to try and put a penalty on @LewisHamilton
How screwed up is this @Ben_Sulayem
This move is wild. But I guess you’re never going to get the junior team on the radio demanding a penalty for an obvious violation.
You’d hope the @fia stewards would apply punishment anyway, though.
To illustrate, anything going above the red line, which constitutes the space limit of the rear wing, is ILLEGAL. @fia must publicly address this now.
By the way, as we've seen in the past, the usual penalty for technical infringements is a DSQ from the race results.

Hey @fia, why no comment yet on Red Bull Racing's new rotating rear wing design? It appears to extend/protrude beyond typical rear wing profiles under the 2026 regs. You require to address these active aero "interpretations" ASAP.

Ich weiß nicht, wie Ihr darüber denkt, aber ich finde dieses Verhalten von FIA-Präsident Mohammed bin Sulayem übergriffig. Das war letztes Jahr schon nicht okay, als er Norris in die Haare gegriffen hat, und die Nummer jetzt war auch nicht in Ordnung.

Not a single word from the commentators on what happened to Lewis car and what he had to manage. Not surprised however. The narrative they want to peddle is written in silence as well.
Max making out that it’s Lewis’s fault they lost time and nothing at all to do with his reckless divebombs and going off track at the exit driving that created the whole chain of events in the first place
Zero accountability, as per
Maybe it's because in our recent generations we have been spoiled by so many solid to stellar wheel to wheel drivers, but the way this guy drives in F1 genuinely infuriates me.
Everyone can have a bad day, even the best all certainly have and everyone also had to start somewhere (like Kimi now or Max in his early years), but this guy just hasn't changed.
The front of the field shone with quality wheel to wheel action at the start of the season until he turned up and put up an absolutely pathetic display yesterday, made all the more maddening by the apparent disregard by the governing body. He divebombs and pushes and goes far beyond Senna's famous "going for a gap".
In 2021, with a super lenient opponent and even more lenient FIA, he noticed just how far beyond the rules he can go without anyone batting an eye and he hasn't stopped terrorizing the track since. And obviously the rules are far from perfect and he knows how to push them to the limit, but he still goes beyond and gets away with it far too often. It effectively ruins what should be a great show of skill and racecraft, the likes of which we have seen recently between Leclerc and Hamilton.
And obviously he's a super talented driver and we've even seen him use that skill for some great fights in other series which confuses me as to how he struggles so much to be fair and clean in this particular series.
There's drivers I purely dislike for their character or personal reasons, but with Max I just genuinely hate how he races in this sport. It's just a disgrace to see how he takes on his fellow competitors and the lack of respect and consequences makes it all the more infuriating. Almost everyone feels forced to make way for him or take huge risks in not doing so and then Max will even get praised for it as "classic Max Verstappen, the guy everyone leaves extra space for".
And I doubt it'll change because it hasn't in 10 years. So if he could maybe move to a different series which facilitates that sort of driving more, that would be greatly appreciated and then maybe he'd even find a new fan in me.
Le virage de Colapinto mdrrr c’est vraiment honteux. Le mec défend à l’intérieur puis vient complètement fermer l extérieur derrière. Pas de pénalité. Bravo les commissaires.
finally listened to Lewis' onboard, Carlo Santi, you really are a treasure! The calm, the control, the good info, the support and recognition at the end. They definitely got through together as a mini-team. The little engineering team really tried to keep that car and engine together and baby it lap to lap till the end. Well done, all things considered. And once again, excellent work from Santi supporting Lewis. Mille grazie! 🙌 my #dreamteam clearly worked really hard in the background and Lewis followed every pointer, babying his tyres as much as he could, metronomically executing target times he was given in spite of everything. We move on from this weekend, but when things get as tough as this you really see good teamwork 👏
Max est tellement toxique pour ce sport (sur la piste), vivement qu'il parte.
Il se fait récompenser alors que sa course est pire que Mexique 2024 et 2025...
Btw this is the video. They either want us to share F1 content or not - this ain't pick and mix counter.
From the takedown notice: "This is a serious matter causing, or likely to cause, significant loss to our client." In what way? Showing lack of finesse from your champion?
