Max could've stayed on track in Turn 1, but would've lost positions so he left the track. And we don't see a problem with that? A.) Why is that legal? B.) I guess screw everyone who races fairly within track limits?
Maintaining position outside track limits is still an advantage
The stewards didn't even investigate this. Hamilton is literally ahead of Leclerc here, and Russell would've passed Verstappen too.
But as soon as they found something to investigate Hamilton for, they jumped on it immediately.
For perspective: While his recent stretch has been absymal, Kimi Antonelli is having a more productive rookie season in F1 than Max did.
63 points & 1 podium (so far) vs. Max's 49 & 0 podiums.
Good head on his shoulders, humble, surrounded with help. I think he'll be fine...
As he enters the #CanadianGP with two straight non-podium finishes, Max Verstappen hasn't gone three consecutive races without a podium since 2019 (Russia, Japan, Mexico).
