mellowtiger83 said:To summarize, the rule was introduced specifically because of Max Verstappen himself, following complaints from several drivers who claimed he was putting both himself and others at risk. To this day, his approach remains largely unchanged; it is either a collision or no overtake at all—unless someone else decides to be just as uncompromising. And when that happens, Max is always the one pointing the finger.
I have nothing against Max personally, lest anyone misinterpret me; my issue is simply that certain actions seem to slip under the radar.
God, it's unbelievable how much a "prestigious" last name can do for you.
In terms of pure Formula 1 logic, he's the exact equivalent of those entitled kids from the big political dynasties back home in the States—the ones who think they can stumble around drunk, knock people over, or act completely reckless because they know deep down they’ll never face any consequences. They move through life thinking they're untouchable. And honestly, I’m even willing to tolerate them being arrogant about it, just like he is.
