@Realtme1@Radityo_utomo@Rickstappen@myershulk I get ur point. But as I said, that wasn't any normal circumstance.
Also, Ocon of 2026 isn't Ocon of 2018, he was a notorious one during that Force India period.
Would I have liked Max to back off there? Yes.
Do I think he'll back off in another scenario? Also yes.
@Realtme1@Radityo_utomo@Rickstappen@myershulk And I don't think Max respect Ocon's driving ability.
Max could've relented for self preservation, but u can also say a lapped car has never raced a leader in a corner.
And no, that wasn't headloss, that was Ocon challenging the status quo, and Max trying to put him in his place.
@Realtme1@Radityo_utomo@Rickstappen@myershulk This rule exist to protect the race leaders, in case of ambiguity.
Also, this wasn't any racing incident,it was a battle of egos, and this won't happen with any other pair of drivers.
They had history, Ocon was bitter that the person he beat in f3 got better opportunities.
@albertomuroo See, the thing is, if this was a single battle between only two drivers, Max will beat any driver, but it's not the case unfortunately since the chance of a lesser driver from a rival car benefiting from the fight and winning the wdc is a huge deterrent.
Norris could never.
He'd be stuck with the same useless line behind a Haas for 40 laps, with his engineer gentle parenting him and him shouting back "shut up, I'm a big boy, I know what to do".
@Realtme1@Radityo_utomo@Rickstappen@myershulk Stop it man.
Ocon can't race Max in the corner by rule, even if he's a 100kph faster. He lost that privilege when he got lapped. If he want to pass Max, he has to complete that move WHOLLY in the straight.
By rule, Max can take the racing line at the apex like ocon doesn't exist.
@julienschm13536@jrichardgoodman Nope.
Watch today's game? The quick turnaround shots he did, feet not set, even if he miss, that's to keep the defense honest.
Without that kind of shot his career 3pt% would've been more than 50.
Now, Lillard has career 37%. Imagine how much his % would regress imitating Steph.
@DiddyMonguj06@burkishteast Nope.
Making the defense bite for fear of Steph is unique. And Steph has to sacrifice make% from time to time to keep inducing that fear. There's a reason Steph is always 99th percentile in taking bad shots. Even so his career% is 43 compared to Dame's 37.
These new era fans man, smh.
There's no drs. Car in front can also open drs. There's no overtake mode enabled. Stfu and learn.
If it was Norris starting from the back, he'd stuck behind a Haas taking the same useless line for 40 laps.
@ovosocialist@big_business_ That's his fraternity, not random guys. They shouldn't have the leeway like any random person.
He even went to their podcast.
So, there's a certain reciprocity of respect that's expected.
