Did Max Verstappen Go Too Far at The Austrian Grand Prix?

People are really "Snowflakes" Barcelona 2024 - Lando push Max on to the grass by half a car width because Max takes avoiding action.... Everybody says it's just hard racing !!!! Austria 2024 - Lando and Max touch briefly on track because Lando went for a gap that wasn't there after he couldn't make 3 previous torpedo's work ..... Everybody: MAX is such a dirty driver !!!! Lando's comment about Max not needing to race him because he has a 70 point lead is kind of dumb!!!! ... uhhhm Lando he races everybody that's why he has a 70 point lead !!!

EVERYBODY WORLD WIDE LOVES these on track fights while on the other side some British race fans who claim to know everything better than the rest of the world, are crying over the rules being broken. Brits want ‘clean and fair’ racing with drivers that move out of the way to allow a clean DRS overtake. It’s ridiculous AND BORING AF !! And this Silverstone dude blaming Max for declining ticket sales. 😂 He should be thanking Max on his bare knees after this weekend. And as for the comments on Oscar… DUDE….HE JUST STARTED AT MCLAREN. He will give Lando a hard time in the near future I can promise you that.

Lando could have used his steering wheel and simply veered a bit left and completely avoided contact. I remember Lando pushing Max on the grass in Barcelona at the start, no comment. Here we go usual British whining

Alonso got the fastest lap in the closing laps.

This is Lando's 6th year in F1. Easy to forget Oscar was a rookie last year and what he's already accomplished against a teammate who's been at McLaren this whole time and already made it his own. Oscar's still learning tyre management and adapting to race pace. He's doing all this in a top team while Lando was able to do all this early in his career in a midfield team without the pressure. The fact people like you talk about Oscar as if he's a seasoned driver with a wealth of experience behind him is a testament to his maturity and level headedness so early in his career. Now, just imagine what Oscar's ability will be like once he's leveled up like the rest of the top drivers.

Its called racing, Max is gonna change nothing. Norris need to look also to his own driving before the crash!

Ultimately what do we want?....boring finishes with one driver 20sec ahead of 2nd place??, or two drivers fighting at the end for every last inch to get the win??. After they have some words and things cool off, they might back off a little bit at silverstone, but don't expect it to stay that way 😏

@f1Elvis: used to think you knew your stuff.. guess the union Jack over your head does affect judgement. McLaren surely protested Max's driving for allegedly moving under braking, no penalty means the stewards had evidence he didn't. Calling Lando going straight out of control a "little bit out of control" is marginalizing the fault. Had he hit Max he would have had 10s penalty for being out of control. Now Max misjudges the space on the outside by a couple of cm, they nudge tyres and all of a sudden it's a really dangerous move? Come on you can't be serious...

It was a milder version of Hamilton v Verstappen Silverstone 2021, with less advantages results for Verstappen this time than Hamilton in 2021. And who is talking about Lando pushing Max in the grass at the Barcelona start. But yeah... the dominant British press in F1...

Come on, dangerous 😂. I didn't hear you talk about Lewis who drove Max into the barrier in Silverstone at high speed. Forgot about that?

A bit harsh on piastri. He was unlucky not to win in Miami. He got a heavy penalty in Italy for blocking when the next race 3 drivers got away with it. He also got robbed of 3rd for qualifying due to a bs call. Why is nobody concerned that Perez can barely finish top 10 in the rbr. Piastri is still new to F1. Give him a chance.

Biased britt, Max didnt even stear to the left, see the onboard, Peter windsor said it right

Norris demonstrated that he is not capable of overtaking on track. The only thing I saw were very late, torpedo moves and mistakes after mistakes. He needed to cut all corners to keep up in his faster car at that stint. Verstappen defended like we know him and what you should expect from a World Champion. When they touched, it was obvious that Max would close the gap (just like Norris did to Max during the start of the race in Canada btw). I don't know what Norris was hoping to achieve going on the outside of corner 3, it had mission impossible written all over it. Look at how Leclerc overtook Verstappen there last year to get a tutorial of how to overtake. So really a lot of waffling and stirring that Verstappen was too aggressive etc, whilst the real story should be that Norris just doesn't have the competence to overtake, whilst driving a much faster car. And for all the British haters, the way Hamilton catapulted Vertappen at Cobbs in 2021 was the most aggressive thing I have seen since I am watching F1 (since 1994). Dear Elvis, I love your work as a mechanic at Wheeler Dealers. Maybe stick to the things you're really good at? ;-)

The fact is that Lando went too far with his nose diving, exceeding track limits. Max had to avoid turning in, to avoid a collision. He crashed into Max from behind. Lando's fault.

Yes, how can you give your objective an honest comment when you are wearing a shirt of the England national team. And then your background at McLaren. In the fight between Max and Lando you see it a bit through English glasses.

Meh, Max has always been a "rough" ,some would even say dirty, driver. I respect his stance, and that he is in it, to win it.

Dude, watch the analysis by Cameron and Peter Windsor. Your boy Lando Norris was overtaking like a rookie and Max wasn’t moving under breaking, he was exactly following the curve. Everyone every year every time takes that curve that way, it is supposed to be taken that way. Stewards are punishing to outcome and not to offense. That is erratic and purely wrong.

I think that Piastri didn’t fall off at the end like he usually does, and made a late pass on Sainz which bodes well, but he has been clearly second fiddle to Norris. The media sucks though. Norris was a fair distance behind Carlos in his first two seasons in F1, and unlike him Carlos was new to the team. Everyone was singing Norris praises then already. I thought Oscar would have started his F1 career better, but he is getting better, and like Max had to get over his recklessness to become a top driver, Oscar is just managing his tires away from being on that level.

Peter Windsor seems to have less non-bias view of the situation?

The Piastri view is weird. Piastri was second two times in a row and would have won if not the penalty.
