Counter point: Max pushed another car off the road (again), and was off the road himself. Drivers have been penalized for this exact move in this exact race.

Norris gets a 5 sec. penalty.

Max has unlocked the secret. Defend the inside so the only option for passing car is the outside. If someone makes an attempt, just run them off the circuit. Passing car either have to abort or take a penalty. Plus.. anything goes on lap one, turn one.

Are you talking about T1 here? Everyone knows T1 is generally a bit more leniant. And both drivers lost positions. T1 was nowhere near as bad as say Lewis on Nico in 2015.

To use Max's words: These stewards are F****** idiots
Should have given Norris a 5 second penalty for leaving the track and gaining an advantage AND Max a 5 second penalty for pushing a car off the track. |

Max had all 4 wheels over the blue line when putting Lando off the road late in the race. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_krTMVSnydI Identical move to Brazil 2021 - Max has worked out you can commit to running yourself off the road (to take extra speed) and force the other car out there, and that's going to be legal. You can make an illegal move yourself, but then nobody is allowed to profit from it. This same race had drivers penalized for this exact move. George Russell was penalized for a much less harsh move than Max committed here. |

My view is that Norris should have been much cleverer about it, conceded the position and then had another go as he had a much faster car. He waited in the hope that he wouldn't get a penalty. No real comparison to Brazil 21. Norris is going much further off track there than he needs to so he can get a good slingshot down the mini straight. Justified pen, but not if Norris decides to let Max back through. |

There is no comparison to Brazil 21 It's much closer to Abu Dhabi 21, lap 1 - where the argument was that Hamilton gave the advantage back. Calling Norris a "victim" when he could have simply given the position back and attacked a few corners later is frankly ridiculous. Ultimately, I don't think Norris was making the corner anyway. I actually don't think George deserved a penalty. The issue here is the inconsistency. Last edited by Beau2; Today at 21:27. |

Both Norris and Verstappen should have been penalised.

Lando was not penalised for excessive track limits. He was no on a final warning at that point and it had no bearing on the move or penalty. Why should the victim have to give the position back to an illegal move made by the car in front? Glad we’ve established that there is an inconsistency when applied to racing rules of car number 1. That, oddly, is a consistent issue when that car is forced to go wheel to wheel with another car. |

As for the Norris vs. Max move. I don't think Norris was making the corner either way, nor was Max. I actually don't think Norris was "forced off" but rather both cars went in much too hot, that is the key difference with Brazil 21. Norris was then penalised for coming out on top after both cars went off track when both cars could have done more to stay on track. |
