Other than that, Max is actually one of my favourite drivers - epically talented. Hit reckless streak however, is not something I can ignore just because he's great to watch the other 95% of the time.
And it is why I love flawed genius. Max is arguably the same Senna/Schumacher mold, they want to win at all costs, which perfectly aligns with my ideals. When you have the likes of Hill moaning, now Norris, for me it is a case of find a way. As for Stella lol, I am sure he's be singing a different tune if Max was in his team.
Winning by breaking the rules doesn't do it for me.

You'd make a better point posting in legible English. But let me help you. I don't agree with what someone says, so I am going to attempt to diminish this by posting nothing.

Let me know when you have something constructive. Meantime, dry those tears wink

Interesting to see team radio shows Max Fat fingering the pit limiter during the VSC and losing a further 4 seconds to Lewis.

and yet Ham received a penalty for it
Both drivers were found to be at fault, Lewis predominantly so, and vice versa at Monza. Hence the small penalties.

You know this.

No, but plenty of F1 drivers have.

Michael and Max haven't won multiple championships by being tough bds, they won because they had very little competition.

If anything, their style of racing costs them, particularly when they do have competition.

ie Silverstone and Monza '21, and last Sunday, Max could have finished 1st or 2nd in all 3 of those races, but his approach cost him on each occasion.

HE = Honda Exige. Someone I disagree with on a lot of occasions but mostly doesn’t just throw out controversial comments to bait people.

What a load of rubbish rofl

Lando tried several times to pass, at the only places he could possibly pass. The only high risk moves were Max's under braking, and then eventually 'not steering' into Lando by not steering enough to avoid colliding with him.

There's no safe way of passing a driver if they're minded to crash into you if you try.
The only rubbish is spouted by those who need to push their personal narrative, and have likely zero track experience themselves. Lando was naive, as you are in defending his knee jerk move.
So people like Anthony Davidson, with "zero track experience"?

You really do post some silly things looking for attention in F1 threads.

Winning by running other drivers off the track is not the sort of thing that any real motorsport fan would celebrate.

I've a lifetime of track experience, both behind the wheel and in the pits.

You're posting complete nonsense, you always have when it comes to Max and his poor driving standards.

Not just F1 threads.

I think his style is challenging, but i get what he says in that it does make for excitement, although IMO thats because you are always anticipating the dick move from max. What Carlo doesn't seem to get is that it can be equally exciting without being a dick but just doing good old fashioned wheel to wheel within the rules.

Meet the new 2024 Max same as the old 2021 Max, I knew as soon as someone got a car to challenge him he'd do the same, it's 2021 all over the again Max is ahead (on points) so it's move or we crash, he tried to brush it aside in his interviews but it'll happen again at Silverstone, he cannot (will not) race fairly.

We have had him around for a way too long a time. He doesn't win at all, and at a great cost to himself imho.

It is not flawed genius, it is just flawed. He constantly proves that unless he has a field beating car he cannot win, if he does not have that car then he has to cheat which basically means he cannot win without an advantage.

His absence of a moral code that says it is okay to cheat should not be revered or celebrated.
