I agree and I applauded George’s move. What I’m saying is: does him breaking the rules deliberately constitute cheating? I don’t think it does. But some folks here call Max a cheater whenever he deliberately or not, takes a penalty after a risky move. I think it’s the same thing.28-05-2025 23:02

Hmmm, taking advantage of the system by deliberately “cheating”, where have I seen/heard this before and why don’t I see any comments condemning Russell’s move? Taking a 5/10s penalty risk while trying a risky overtake, for instance: braking late on purpose in order to be ahead at the apex and thereby gaining the right to claim a corner (and legally push another driver off). How is that different? In both scenarios the driver takes a gamble (possible lasting advantage despite penalty), but in Russell’s case he 100% knew he was going to receive a penalty. On the other hand, late braking, reaching the apex first while staying on track, which also allows the driver to push another driver off, is something a driver will actually get away with without a penalty. So Verstappen gets slammed whenever he tries a risky move, fails and gets penalized (a move that might have worked out for him), but Russell deliberately made an illegal move (cheated by the logic of Verstappen slammers) and…..nothing, no criticism whatsoever by the usual suspects.27-05-2025 01:48

Well said. Exceptional performances come with a risk, especially in F1. Milliseconds, millimeters, can make the difference between a brilliant move, or being called dangerous or overly aggressive. Imo Sen and Sch were willing to take these risks, Ver is too. But, Ham f.i. is maybe a bit more “careful” or “clean”, but still very fast. Now the question is, what makes “the goat”? The one who’s maybe a little less spectacular to watch, or the risk taker who draws both negative/positive attention bc of his more risky style, which sometimes means we get to witness unbelievable moves, his more clean driving rival would never make? Taking these different approaches into account, it comes down to “taste” I think.24-05-2025 18:42

They should pit him after 1 lap, giving him free air, then, as soon as he catches up to P19 (which is only possible in Monaco -> accordeon effect), pit again. This should stir things up a little. Merc should definitely try this with one of their cars. Try to get as much free air as possible and virtually overtaking as many cars as possible.24-05-2025 18:25

Cmon, give credits where credit is due. If that overtake triggers “smart move by Piastri” in you, while the man himself said he simply braked too early and Verstappen sent it brilliantly on the outside (even Oscar and Stella acknowledged this), then I feel you’re focusing on the wrong things, you’re missing out. I get why some people don’t like Max. My least fav driver is probably Russell, but I can really appreciate his skills from time to time.18-05-2025 18:10

I don’t think you were far off when you predicted 30 overtakes.18-05-2025 17:59
