Guys just stop. You are worse than sky will Hamilton. The hard truth is you can't overtake off track, plus max was into the apex first and controlled. This is a non burger
@robertking1818 Says:
Verstappen races hard and within the rules as they are currently written, Autosport declares he's DOING SOMETHING WRONG!!!! What he's doing wrong they can't identify, OTHER THAN BEATING AN ENGLISH GUY!!!! The most DESPICABLY BIASED COVERAGE OF F1 IN WORLD HISTORY! Literally a GARBAGE FIRE of unprofessional biased reporting. I can't stand these miserable pricks. 🖕🖕🖕

FIA Sold they Soul too Red Bull… Well they have no Soul….
@markwebster1952 Says:
well it is now banzia time, up the inside, dont brake until the apex, the brake force the other driver off the road and take it from there. in your comment to the FIA, we were following the rules as set in the precident of the Max school of driving
@okothobbo Says:
To me, it is the very track limits rule itself that is mystifying and sounds stupid, especially when it comes to corners and other places on the track where overtaking attacks could be mounted. My view is that, at these places, the legitimate racing track should be made wider, providing greater estate to overtake legitimately without the jeopardy of incurring a penalty for having exceeded track limits. In potential overtaking situations, the driver ahead is permitted to hold the racing line, i.e. the most optimal racing estate possible, usually the inside line. This is fair enough. On the other hand, the attacking driver should then have ample estate on which to mount his attack legitimately. Thus, rather restricting corners and other areas of the track where the overtaking squabbles typically take place (with some even urging that grass or pebbles should be laid down there) the racing track should at these points rather be made as wide as possible. I do not see that the overtaking driver gains any unfair advantage: First, if he has made up several seconds on the car ahead and is in the position to mount an overtaking attack, he is clearly the faster driver at that point. Secondly, in being able to attack legitimately on the wide outside estate, he will actually be traversing more distance than the driver holding the racing line on the inside and who is thereby himself gaining an advantage. Thirdly the wider estate is anyway available to every other driver in the race to use in the same way against any other driver he would have have come up behind. Meanwhile, for the racing fans, many more and cleaner overtakes provide much more of a spectacle to relish than the sight of a much faster car stuck lap after lap behind an evidently slower one effectively blocking the overtaking line, yet the attacking driver cannot use any estate beyond the white line for an overtake because he will get a penalty!

From here on, Norris will not avoid a collision with Verstappen when Norris is in the right. -- Who lose? McLaren, RedBull, and Verstappen. Because, by now, somebody just has to do something. -- For the young followers, view Verstappen vs Ricciardo in Baku (several years ago). That braking at the end of the Straight (Youtube: watch?v=36YFQTFzZwU and Youtube: watch?v=zkUVOvU7M20) shows how callously Verstappen blocks his own team mate, even forgetting that Ricciardo simply could not have braked hard enough (because of aerodynamics which Verstappen should have remembered). -- So, it was simply 100% Verstappen's fault. And STILL the guys at the time at RedBull blamed it entirely on Ricciardo. No wonder Ricciardo decided then and there to find another Team. (And, the Rules were amended with "in the Braking Zone, you're not allowed to change lanes to block your opponent if he's changed lanes right before you. -- And, as we have seen, Verstappen still has broken even this rule several times himself. And gotten away with it.) -- Now, watch all other races where Vertappen has been "wheel-to-wheel" with anybody, and check who was Officially Blamed. -- So, by this time, ultimately, Norris has no other choice than to Stand His Ground from now on. (( For statisticians: who is the driver that has caused the most rule changes in F1? ))

McKaren needs to be happy their illegal front wing is still allowed!
@gregreader1 Says:
The current regulation is the problem. If defending, you don't have to stay on the track, so you can push everyone else off. If someone does it to Max tomorrow, maybe they'll finally change the rule.
@alistairforlong5703 Says:
Because fia are corrupt and useless. Their bias towards red bull is laughable. Rb must be bribing fia something fierce
@kristoph7606 Says:
Curropt sport, no other way to explain whats happening. Liberty media, the fia and the investors are profiting from lies, and the braindead fans gobble it up. Pathetic.
@cani006 Says:
FIA is so eager to support another RB championship tells a lot.
@mdj9765 Says:
The FIA is ridiclous, what Verstappen is doing is unsporting and the rule that allows him to do this needs changing, it's simple.
@Lindowman888 Says:
Rejected because FIA are scared of Max! They never bother him but allow him to cheat like mad.
@vincentolpos7373 Says:
it's the nature of the turn...why don't they just make the runoff area a sandtrap? so that no one would gamble on the overtakes? 🤔
@robertheymann5906 Says:
The FIA is so obviously biased it's a joke... Unless you're Red Bull you may as well just accept it
@stevejh69 Says:
These two commentators are pathetic. Just watch what happened and state the facts. Max cheated and once again got away with it as ALWAYS!
@stevejh69 Says:
Once again the corrupt FIA and F1. Max can do ANYTHING! Brake, stop braking and force another car OFF not even try to make the corner, but that is OK!
@anoopbains1257 Says:
Max will only learn if mclaren merc or Ferrari use one of the cars to use max tactics against him
@agoogleuser2369 Says:
Shocker...! FIA wants the spoiled Dutch driver to win another consecutive championship. Nothing new here.
@iprelvu Says:
Basically McLaren being desperate and throwing a kitchen sink on RB Maybe just maybe if they didn't make mistakes all year long...
@Author-dad-veteran Says:
the championship is max's, so this is what drivers should do: Lando went wide so should have the penalty, but he only went wide because Max never intended to make the corner (as his brake trace showed), so all drivers should commit that they will never go wide when like this, they can both crash out, stewards will fine max for lifting off the brakes to cause a collision and the world will see. yes he'll win the championship but next year things will change.
@ashleymoore9063 Says:
Rejected because they did not have a leg to stand on . They should have added another 5 seconds for the appeal
@LiNEKE-rs6wc Says:
It's just a long commercial season bought upfront and constantly corrected by the FIA. Companies buy their end positions as a promotional stunt before the start of the season at CVC rights.
@juancamiloza Says:
The penalty is clear and is called “forcing another driver out of the track”
@51bikerboy Says:
The brexit English again, for them losing is winning! Greetings To Boris Johson, Jacob Rees Mogg and Farage!
@Kraken270Jetsprint Says:
Enjoying your analysis and prompt reporting.. cheers
@GTR2SimRacer Says:
It was pretty clear from the onboard, the trackside, and the timing data, that Norris was ahead of Verstappen as they entered the braking area. Max made a move up the inside and did not get ahead until a fraction of a second before they reached the apex, ergo, Max was the 'overtaking' car. According to the FIA, an overtaking car on the inside cannot force the car on the outside off track. Which Max did. not only that but both cars left the track and as such Lando is free to return on track ahead of Max. The FIA got it wrong. The penalty ( if any) should have been against Max not Lando. Perhaps McLaren need to adopt the tactic then of using Piastri to dive up the inside of Max and force him wide. Footnore: Before I'm accused of being a Norris fanboy, that's not the case. I've been following F1 far too long and seen far too many drivers come and go to be a fan boy. I also defended Massi and Max for the Abu Dhabi 2021 call that went in Max' favour. I'm simply calling it how i see it.
@cyphrsphyr Says:
What of, not steering another off, when racing line is available. Available: abilty to corner the turn to maintain lead; dropping defense for completion of overtake. Max: Divebomb Lead, lead, lead, ... Both drivers off Max retains lead as pack slows for passing professional 😶 Max uses availability: Divebomb Racing line available Livery bogs Norris possibly 2 off retains lead Pack catches a now frantic, cursing Max Tsunoda pauses to conveniently let Max slot back in as a quick seatbelt adjustmentis made. 🎉
@ohareport Says:
i don’t get why they weren’t both clocked for “leaving the track and gaining an advantage” as verstappen gained the advantage of “being ahead at the apex” by deliberately deciding he was never going to make the corner, the advantage being a defence forcing norris off track… 5s for both seems fair.
@leefisher816 Says:
Because they are corrupt…
@ramon3221 Says:
McLaren need to up their game, if they wanted to protest they should have done so immediately. They somehow missed it then they use the right to review and think that the actual decision is "new evidence". All this does is make them look desperate, as it never ever was going to fly...
@nathanrath2844 Says:
The British bias in this comment section is just plain sad. apparently having rational, measured, balanced views is not something to strive for
@Milkydrummer Says:
Honestly I just hope Max does what he says and leaves F1… charging people off the track or crashing is not proper racing. It’s desperate and cynical, and Max’s career has been built off moves like this. No question he’s an insanely talented driver, but he’s a petulant hypocrite when it comes to wheel to wheel racing.
@robertbosman5398 Says:
They had nothing 😂😂😂
@andrewhazlewood4569 Says:
Looks like the FIA wants Drive not to Survive.
@jerry24675 Says:
It took them 6 hours to make a 1 second decision. Whow great work.
@nitinachari8655 Says:
I would beg every driver to use max's driving style..lets see how fia responds then.. surely everyone will be given a penalty except max.. lets test this out
@WhataboutTRUTH Says:
If you don't like the rules leave the sport,. Or is the money that more important to the teams ect ??? It's a sport a race and should not be held back by rules the forbid drivers to race.
@Peterlnewton Says:
Martin Brundle & FIA seem to have favoritism for Max. This marks great change coming to the FIA. Everyone is seeing through the bs.
@stevethms Says:
Another example of why F1 is no longer a sport. McLaren were correct in their assertion. There is no excuse for such incompetence when their previous decisions within the race support exactly what McLaren contend.
@marianne1555 Says:
Thanks FIA and your famous corrupt stewards Connelly and Warwick
@col145 Says:
I ❤️ F1 BUT……. there’s more money than sense in this sport, & that includes everyone connected to it 😔and who’s the suckers that’s ripped off most ? Yes you’ve guessed it the people that go through the turnstiles 🤡
@rberridge69 Says:
Verstappen has always gamed the rules. In the same way that Schumacher was a great driver, but also ethically challenged on a race track, so too is. Verstappen. The slight difference between the two is that Schumacher’s ‘rule breaking’ came from an innate philosophy; Verstappen’s early indiscretions have not just been overlooked, but encouraged. Meaning that he simply has no basis of understanding why what he is doing is wrong. Both brilliant but flawed. (As could be said of Senna et al) Nevertheless, this ruthless, unsportsmanlike gaming of the rules does need to be addressed if we are to see hard but fair racing that thrills all F1 fans.
@ua697 Says:
McKaren is just a clown bus
@samstocks6836 Says:
Twas rejected becuase much like Lewis max is the new poster boy so he’s going to get all the good choices most overrated driver in F1 history max
@RobertDixonTaylor Says:
Maybe now.. Norris should not be so humble and forgiving! How can he carry on being such a big " pal " of verstappen!!?
@stevejones3868 Says:
It's obvious there is something between Liberty Media and Red Bull. It's all bent isn't it. If City get away with these charges, the Prem is bent too. And how much do Sky charge? We need to boycott!
@rahulbentick3772 Says:
Autosport very clever, they didn't mention the FIA note that they mentioned the McLaren deliberate intention to invoke right to review without having any new information. The British media is too baised as many people reiterated again and again.
@corneliscc6219 Says:
Maybe they aren't all British
@paulsilas6037 Says:
Just make it to the apex first man. Its simple, Max trying to show that but you are all Lando British soy boys.
