Some of the comments on here are off the scale If Verstapen had pulled a stunt like that this place would have erupted. I know most on here hate the bloke but blimey.
You’re right of course. But to be fair, that is because he and Red Bull have form for dirty tricks. For what it’s worth, I think it was a pretty poor move from Piastri and it doesn’t make him look good. Penalty deserved. Not a fan of Zak Brown pleading that it wasn’t as bad as it looked either. Of course he has to do that, but it’s laughable.
What was interesting about this though was that Verstappen showed once again that he can still be the petulant child that he was when he was 18. Lost his head, immediately lost control of his car and as a result lost any influence he had on this race. If he’d stayed calm he may have stayed in 2nd, (effectively leading).
One biased way of reading it. Another could be that he lost heat in his tyres having to get back behind Piastri and didn’t have them up to sufficient temperature by the time of the restart as a result.

Well, yeah. Your biased way of reading it might be true.
As is often the case in these things though, the truth is probably somewhere in between. 🙂
Just watched the "Hill" documentary on SKY - Nothing really unknown in there, but still really nicely put together.
Probably one of the more underrated World Champions in my opinion, and often regarded as the least deserving. But given when he entered Motor Racing, the fact he got into F1 so late, raced against some of the best in history; Prost, Senna, Mansell, Schumacher... and still came away with a Championship, says a lot for me.

Good luck getting out the car parks! Safe journey home!

Would have disrupted Piastri's race more and might have actually cost him more than a place to his teammate
