Felipe Massa has been trailing behind Verstappen all year, but today's mess was mostly due to that collision at the start.
Just look at Lewis Hamilton. Heโs been driving incredibly well for the rest of the season. But once that tire punctured, he was done. No matter how well he drives the rest of the race, it doesn't matter.

Christian Horner is going to be sick to his stomach... and he'll probably just go right back to claiming everyone is out to get them...

"What Lewis did there was just plain ugly. I honestly don't get why he even bothered trying to race us in the first place. If he actually wanted to push the pace, he should have built up a gap first and then gone for it. What he did was just pure stupidity since he was already a whole lap behind us," said Sebastian Vettel.
"Look, if you're trying to drive faster but you clearly don't have a shot at winning the race, you should probably just show some respect to the other drivers and use a little common sense. I didn't expect him to come after me because, frankly, I didn't think it made any sense. It totally caught me off guard seeing him right there next to me,"

What is Vettel missing here? Hamilton was significantly faster than him at that exact moment. He actually clocked the fastest lap on the track right then. He didn't slow him down one bit; he just powered past him and pulled away.

Horner won't be the only one spinning stories. ๐คฃ๐

And now Vettel is calling him outโ๐does that spoiled brat have nothing but a single grain of rice rattling around in his head?

The drama coming out of Red Bull Racing is just so predictable... Theyโre always complaining, acting like the whole world is against them, lecturing everyone about team orders and respect, all while spending the entire season driving a car that barely skirts the edge of legality... Huge props to Sebastian Vettel, but I honestly think Christian Horner and Adrian Newey are going to snatch that title away from him this year...

Itโs funny how Hemiฤ is suddenly a genius to you guys... most of you are out here making excuses for him overtaking my Index finger, but if heโd done that to Obrvan, youโd be tearing him to shreds ๐คฃ ๐คฃ

God, imagine whatโs going to happen once Ferrari actually gets their act together and builds a decent car...
