So following on from today's race and Max slowing down and being a bit naughty causing Hamilton to hit him, what other moments in F1 strike you as the worse example of driving /sportsmanship?

Not many in recent times. Drivers have become more sportsman like really. Except Max.

Recent times: Rosberg parking it at Monaco?

Max is acting with the same mindset as a criminal.

You know what your doing isn’t on but you do it anyway knowing that the chances of being caught or having to give up your prize is extremely slim.

Most people don’t like to act this way but scammers, criminals and cheats make there living like this.

Well that's the Verstappen way. Criminal, I mean.

I’ve just watched the highlights. Somebody needs to stop him before he kills somebody.

Didn't Alonso brake test Lewis in their Mclaren days?

Maldanardo side swiping someone post quali at Spa comes to mind

Todays display was the worst I can remember, it wasn't just one incident it was multiple ones from Max, he'll try and wipe out Lewis at the next race but needs to be disqualified from the championship if he does.

Where was it that Vettle took a side swipe at Hamilton while going round under the safety car. Backu perhaps. That was pretty deliberate and naughty.

In terms of Verstappen, it’s a case of when not if he hurts someone if the authorities don’t come down hard on him and let him know it’s not on.

Apart from Max it's been good for years.

Worst I can remember- Lewis driving slowly hoping Rosberg will get caught, Rosberg and Schumi both parking it at Monaco, Schumacher putting his old teammate to the wall, Piquet crashing to help Alonso.

We've been saying that since he swerved under breaking at Spa as Kimi was passing. I don't think he'll learn, he's been rewarded too much for the behavior and defaults to red mist when under pressure.

Today was not F1's greatest sporting achievement.

It appears that RB have collectively lost their heads. MV walking off the podium and the incessant moaning going on. Reminds me a bit of Kevin Keegan.

I'm not sure that Max does think that what he sometimes does is wrong.

That was a serious piece of quality driving, it nearly fried Rosberg's head. He didn't do anything against the rules or drive like a dick to keep his position.

and everyone knew it was going to happen.

"and it's happened immediately" being Murrays words.
