    Well that was exciting at the end. The only thing missing are the long and tedious argument chains that would have been found on reddit with everybody arguing whose fault is it.

    Do you people agree with Jolyon that Max going off the track to keep the position should have been a pen. The way I see it, Lando clearly pushes him off after the divebomb

      I don’t think it should be a penalty if you push someone off the track. But in this case I am not too sure.

      I can’t figure out the “rules” for that situation, as they seem very fluid depending on the corner and the outcome.

      I wouldn’t have thought Lewis should have given the position back to Sainz, but l also watched Max barge Charles off there years ago with no penalty.

      While Max was clearly at fault for the collision, Lando was optimistic on a few of those attempts, my personal favorites being “He moved under braking!” Where max looked like he took a pretty normal line through the turn, and “He pushed me off!” When Lando locked up and blew through the corner.

      I can’t stand either one of them, so it was highly entertaining.

        Where max looked like he took a pretty normal line

        The line slightly different than his normal but nothing over the edge. I was shocked when palmer squarely claimed that Verstappen was the only one over the line and that Lando was never over it during the whole fight.
