Kimi didn't think the pass was fine.

Kimi said:
"I have no idea what happened with Verstappen or why he got the penalty," said Raikkonen.

"I had no idea what happened to him apart from he got past me at the second-last corner.

"Obviously I was disappointed just after the race when I thought I had finished fourth but there was some issue with Max.

"I got to go on the podium but didn't see it, I don't know where he went."

And Raikkonen was equally surprised to see Verstappen make a last-ditch move past him on the final lap.

"Obviously I was half surprised," he added.

"I saw him in my mirror and tried to slow down the whole thing before, the previous corners, and I thought I had enough covering on the corner, and then suddenly he was there.

"I saw in my mirror and I was a bit surprised, at that speed – I was a bit p***** off he got past me."
So as I stated above, at no stage Kimi says : "the pass was fine" .

Apparently I shouldn't argue with pork.

That's not at all the same thing as saying the pass was fine and there is no issue.

There's no way in hell we'll see seb and max in the same team. especially within a team that has ALWAY had a no1/no2 driver lineup.

I think Max should have won a lot more Races than he has done and I want to see him win the two remaining races or at least be on the podium to send out a message for next year.

I think he is just being honest / mind games with Vettel as much as anything.

I prefer Lewis's approach to racing or at least how he would like it to be... Battle with the top guys in good cars, emerging at the end of the season as WDC. He wants to race, fight for the win, not simply race off into the distance. Of course he'd take that but scrapping through the season, that's what the fans want to see. Be entertained. It must be more rewarding to win that way than outright dominance...?
Except... If say Seb, Max, Alonso and Lewis happen to be in a 4 way battle, wheel to wheel between Lewis and Alonso would likely be tight but fair as seen in Mexico. Seb and Max in the mix though, with all that wheel banging and uncontrolled aggression... Lewis may wish he was dominating.

Let's hope Max doesn't become boring like the others.
He may have Mick Schumacher as team mate one day

Max says he wants to win easily from the front by dominating limke Lewis. He doesn't mention other drivers being boring. One thing for sure is that the current world champion doesn't have a boring lifestyle comparing with all the previous generations of F1 drivers.

Interesting - he needs to get to a team that can give him a car with the potential to win, and then not crash it! laugh

So probably not anytime soon! laugh

Now he thinks the penalty points system should be scrapped. Is it because he's on 8 points and likely to get a race ban if does one more stupid thing?

He seems to have issues with the rules of the sport, which are as old as the sport, and for that reason he's picking up the points intended for repeat offenders.
