The whole spat with alonso (yes I know alonso paid a huge childish part) all started by Lewis breaking an agreement.
probably because there was certainly no agreement pre Hungary (you can check the previous qualifying to see that they definitely weren't fuel burning in turns)

any attempt to subsequently introduce team orders whilst Alonso was asking & politicking in the background (& Lewis knew this) for no.1 status, whilst being behind in the championship was always going to end in tears
Especially as Uncle Ron was firmly in Hamilton's corner and together they were racing Alonso. Ron's own words.

Poor Fernando hehe
Keep dreaming!

Interestingly, I know you’re a big fan of Hakinnen, uncle Ron was firmly in his corner and together they were racing Coulthard. Ultimately Ron has been proved right to have backed Hamilton well before he came to F1.
You’re entitled to your opinion though thumbup
Savvy marketeer that Uncle Ron.
Exactly! Ignored the rest as usual wink

Sparta, can I ask, apart from maybe being Lewis’ chief cheerleader that year what tangible advantage do you think was given to Lewis? I would have thought and hardware advantages such as new upgrades would have been picked up by the fia observers so do you think it was strategy or some other preference?

I wouldn't bother. Sparta is as daft as they come, and he could turn a thread about Hovis bread, into a Hamilton tirade.

Back to Max!

Let's spare everyone the immature bickering. Especially as it seems you've lost the plot!

So, Max Verstappen:

Could still be an RB circuit.

Yeah, I was much calmer when my son took up F1 after me and then after years of waiting had a shot at the title and binned it in a wall at a crucial moment. smile

I’m sorry to hear that. As a parent your first thought must have been concern over his welfare. idea

Race wins I think. Pretty much guaranteed now that Max will take Lewis out.

Max can't beat Lewis on racecraft and so I think he will take (try to) Lewis out at the finale.

Unless Max gets an additional penalty for the weird liftoff /braking incident.

I've defended him in the past but there's several aspects of today that really were of a very poor standard. Simply signs of desperation and panic knowing that merc have better race pace at this end of the season.

Iam a big Max fan, have been since he started with the Toro Rosso in 2015 and really want him to win this years championship........BUT
I don't want him to win it this way mired with controversy and questionable moves. He will never go down in history as a gracious winner, and as a fan you want him to be liked so we don't need to find excuses to defend him.

Nine times out of ten the over the limit defending never pays off, he either gets penalised or Hamilton has been clever enough to avoid a Collision and come back at him and pass him in the end anyway. He just seems too desperate to seal the championship......in the event he does maybe it will calm him down as not to seek the elusive first championship.

There's no doubt he has speed and talent and F1 is much better off with him in the sport whether you like him or not but he just needs to home on on the aggression and attitude to make him a rounded Champion.

I know with title rival battles you get the occasional contact its inevitable but it seems it's happening all too often.

His put himself in a position where its so easy to jump on the bandwagon of blame regardless if it's his fault or not now because of the reputation he has allowed himself to get.

Good luck to Max in the last race....it's make or break for him but keep it clean because ultimately it just doesn't pay off.
