    Don’t like verstappen. Every team message during the race is him having a whinge.

    Yes he does come across was a whiny bitch. Not a surprise that he has teamed up with Horner who is cut from the same cloth.

    He's ramped it up this weekend. Fucking whinging fluffybunny. Just had a clear run down a straight with two cars pulled over right out of his way and he radios that there's idiots everywhere right in the way.

    I didn't used to mind him but he can fuck off and lose the championship.

    Yep. Hate wanting anyone to do badly but hope all of the Red Bull and RB drivers shit the bed ( esp Riccardo but he’ll probably win the bloody thing and get a reprieve!).

    Poor guy having to forgo your respect to have a little fun while earning millions doing a fucking cool job. I hope they don't tell him at the same time as they sack him.

    It was the lack of respect from me that caused his downfall, I am revelling in it

    The pressure hes feeling from Norris currently might be getting to him. The whinge factor is increasing and he’s threatening to throw his toys out of the pram.

    I'm actually with Max on this one. Which has me in the same camp as the other drivers.

    The stewards are getting ahead of themselves here & trying to turn the drivers into robots. Thats not what anybody wants to watch. He said his car performance had been shit & then he gets told he needs to accomplish some work of public interest?

    What does that even mean? People want to watch high energy, high octane, exciting racing. They want to see pissed off drivers trash something, want to hear controversial statements.

    It's been a great season, but there has been a little bit of a feel of too much control by the overlords IMHO.

    Oh I agree that it is overreach by the stewards and is indicative of the way the sport is being pushed at the moment but that does not detract from (IMO) that Verstappen is A. Feeling the pressure and B. A whiny bitch.

    My comments re Red Bull were merely because I want Lawson to get a drive, not really related to Max at all, more Riccardo really. If Perez goes too, it opens it all up a bit more (and then there's Max / Jos). Don't know what will happen with Yuki, not much probably.

    I suppose Yuki brings money from Japan, just as Perez brings money from Mexico. It also made sense while RB are powered by Honda. When that changes, who knows?

    They will either need to give Lawson a drive or let him go. Judging from Ricciardo's body language I think he's done. Off to Indycar next year

    Impossible not to feel sad for him as he seems a genuinely nice guy, but he's performing worse than Yuki.

    @antipodean I note he refrained from swearing and he's doing it a helluva lot tougher than Max...

    @antipodean Yeah, he's just not fast enough anymore, and I'm not sure his eye is even on F1.

    I guess it comes down to being the smallest fish in a big pond, or the biggest fish in a smaller pond. He's got a hell of a personality and will make huge ripples as a marquee driver in a different competition.

    @canefan Hadn’t heard that Ricciardo was headed to Indycar. I had seen this:

    “ Teams looking for a sponsorship boost will benefit from signing Ricciardo. The talent on the track may not be as highly tuned as it once was but his marketing capabilities are still up there with the best. That may be a crude way of looking at why Ricciardo isn’t done on the grid yet, but it is an unavoidable part of F1. Even now there are drivers on the grid who are there purely because of the revenue stream they can bring to teams.”

    Which is what shits me about F1, it’s not necessarily the best drivers we get to see, as per the comments re Honda. Unfortunately Liam doesn’t bring any real cash with him that I am aware off. Money and sports are closely linked sadly.
