He might be a future world champ and he's an amazing talent but he's insanely dislikable.

He might be a future world champ and he's an amazing talent but he's insanely dislikable.
Just seen Bottas crash, WOW it was a bad one, could have been really nasty, good to see him walk away, plenty of work for the Merc garage tonight.
Apparently the stewards initially decided no further action since the double waved yellows came out after he finished his lap and the mini-sector showed he wasn't as quick through that area as he was before but his comments have caused them to take a second look. Been defending him for mostly staying out of trouble for a while but then he does that and shows zero understanding of the situation.
Kinda worrying that two races in a row we've had an obvious example of people just not giving a shit about the safety of others. Less than 2 months since Hubert's death as well.

Looking @ the telemetry I'm assuming the blue line is his final run? Shows a drop in velocity at the end. He backed off.
If that is accurate, he lifts completely and goes on the brakes so would be fine. Suspect though that the braking happened after the finish line and the F1 app mistakenly included the bit just after, otherwise it would be extremely strange for him to lie to make himself look worse.
3 place grid penalty so Ferrari front row for tomorrow and Hamilton P3.
Whoa.. Max.what a cnut. Ididn't see the press.conference. serves him right.
What a twat , deserves what he got, he knows the rules and decided to say feck you to the FIA
There are two kinds of people I hate in this world. People who are intolerant of other people s cultures and THE DUTCH.
This is probably right. it's not clear if that telemetry ends with the end of the lap or goes on after the finish line. The person that posted it yesterday on Reddit said that there was no information about that.
What an idiot. Red Bull will be fuming.
He's obviously got serious talent but doesn't look to be the brightest

Jesus based on some of the reactions on here you'd think Verstappen had actually killed someone. I've literally seen just about every driver out there except maybe one or two do stuff that's equally dangerous or disrespectful if not more. It does seem somewhat stupid though, makes you wonder what went on behind the scenes, weren't they screaming at him to slow down or something?
I guess at least justice is served now with Leclerc starting on pole, he's a guy who really deserves it based on his sublimely safe behaviour over the last weeks.

It's not about the fact that he disregarded yellow flags. More so about what he said in the post-quali conference. Where he said that he knew Bottas crashed but didn't slow down nonetheless.
Most of his fans are seeing this as dumb (what he said in the post-q conf) and other as disrespectful.
There's a difference between ignoring a yellow flag in the heat of the moment and knowing that you messed up and between bot giving a damn about it.
Why do you have to include Leclerc in this ? it's a weird comment to make. They didn't give Leclerc Pole, it happened that he was second so it's a normal thing that he starts first. This whataboutism is weird.

I don't know man. I watched the qualifiers expecting Red Bull to have given up for this season, turned out they had a brilliant car and Verstappen was in really good form. Guy looks set for only his second pole position in six years of racing, then he fails to control his excitement and fecks up after a freak crash. Doesn't lie about it afterwards, gets the appropriate punishment. Gee what a nasty twat, may he burn in hell.
Might be the gene though. Cant fault him with that.
first comer could be a disaster for Seb and Leclerc , neither will want to give any room.
Vettel chop
Dangerous by Vettell, he pushed hamilton on to the grass. That could have been dangerous.
Crazy start.
Should be great with Max in Mad Max mode
missed all the action , joys of having to work and watch at the same time.
Vettel noted!
Wow Max!
Lewis past Sainz with ease while Bottas cant pass Norris. 
Dont know which one is better, Norris or Lewis
Dont know which one is better, Norris or LewisMax pays the penalty for his aggression, dive bombs are shite moves so he gets what he deserves
Max. Love him or hate him, he is entertaining.
Max's immaturity shows again, he should have been patient with Bottas, he would have got him easily on the straight. He was way quicker than him.
Can Ferrari find a way to feck this up?
They always feck up!
This is prime feck up territory for Ferrari tbf
How is Albon holding off Lewis
Norris , with a wheel not on correct.
Norris is easily the most unlucky driver in F1. Every race it's something new.
I like Norris , needs a better team.
Lewis on a one stop apparently , high tyre wear on this track, could be a risky strategy.
I like Max , think he is a very talented driver , but the thing holding him back is Max himself , he is a monumental dick.
WOW what a dreadful pit stop
what happened , Lewis was second and I look away for a bit and he is 4th!!
HAM pitted and looks fav for the win now IMO
Cheers.
