Last race perhaps, Australia nope, that was Mercedes fault. This race nothing anyone could do. You essentially had two cautions at different portions of the track on that last SC.

Hah! That's cute. At this pace, he's going to enjoy a nice summer on the Riviera Romagnola.
Oh? It sounded like Romain, I swear. Perhaps many people don't find too hard to believe that it was him because he's got a bit of a rep as a nagger (it's not my business to say if deserved or not, but he sure seems more, huh, chatty than other drivers at times).

I'm not saying Max didn't go back to the left but it was more of a slight veer than a direct door closing. Ricciardo could have committed to staying right and tried to overtake on the outside. Blame on both sides for being over-aggressive but there are ways it could have been avoided

You never want to take the risk with cars being in the direct firing line like they were in the run off. Even at the speeds they travel under VSC you never know what could happen. As shown by Grosjean, anything can happen, and even at a low speed, accidents can be quite big.

Why? That's a classic move of cutting under, he had the speed far over Max to do that. If he stayed right he would have again been pushed out as he had been several times. Max should have given the room, acknowledged the speed between both cars and this probably wouldn't be a talking point. Daniel gave room all day long, and yet Max wants to claim he played it just as fair too...he didn't.

Max's fault, would've been an absolutely on the limit block pass at the apex if Ricc had made it.
As it was, Ricc lost DF as Max moved in front and Ricc locked up from that lack of DF which caused the collision, after Maxs' double move in the braking zone antics - he's done this before and this time it has caused a collision.
Good, on the edge, battling otherwise though.

First of the Wiki page is always being updated before the season actually starts. Also it says that they have yet to extend their contract, thus until they do, for not it's the last race in Baku. Also saw the Dutch reporting too.
False conjectures, is that a thing? Yeah it did, I’m sure I mentioned that, maybe I should have made that more clear? But the nature of the incident also contributed, he constantly caused dangerous situations at the start of races... that being the worst.
Roman showed promise but he constantly got in the way of other drivers, when I sit down I’ll have a look and pull up some examples.
Max is an exceptional driver who has driven poorly this season. But it’s not on the level Roman was at. In fact the only contemporary comparison I can think off is Lewis and Masa in 2011. They constantly managed to crash into each other as they both had horrible seasons. No one was calling for Masa or Lewis to have a race ban and Lewis at that point was a World Champion, so he had no excuse.
And yeah haha I watched live too, but he was allowed to make the moves? He shouldn’t have, but he was allowed... only thing that was the issue (from what I can remember of the race) was the crash where he moved just before the breaking after Dan had committed. But he just raced against his team mate hard in the other moves, not great for the team but good for us.
Like, I’m not defending Max because I think he’s the new Senna, I’m not a Max fan in much of anyway. He’s had a horrible season due entirely to himself. But the idea of him being given a race ban just seems silly. He’ll calm down and mature, or he won’t and get dropped.
EDIT;
What a race tho! Man as a Lewis fan that was a bloody emotional race

Prove this.
No one here is calling for a race ban (at least not me ) on Max. What I'm saying is your example to defend Max is bad, and not the way you've tried to explain it.
So risking damage or ending of races for people as you used as your stipulation for why Grosjean was worse and supposedly deserved his ban...now doesn't count. It'd be easier for you to say you're a Verstappen fan and then I'll just walk away having learned to know better for next time you defend him. Dan committed cause he expected to get room like he'd given all race again.
No where did I say you were, or ever thought this. I could make the same argument again that Grosjean didn't deserve it and probably would have learned to hone his awareness after that race anyways, after seeing how bad the wreck was.
If they plan to do it I just hope it's as good as this track has been, with the insanity it provides.

I guess we've already seen both Daniel and Max already went off track this weekend?
PS Makes me curious if and what the next 'social event' in Barcelona will bring us

First penalties coming in : Sirotkin grid penalty in Barcelona as a result of the incident with Perez at Baku
And to be honest. My brains do not remember the incident itself anymore . Happened so much during this race and the Heineken has some impact.

- This was answering the question that Grosjean just asked.
- That wasn't the same voice.
- That wasn't the same mood in the voice
- It refers to Grosjean as "us", which he never does.
Or i'm wrong and Grosjean has two people in his head.
Oh, that's scary...
