I can't stand Verstappen

[wdb]

At Spa Vettel turned in hard to cut down Kimi, who was trying to leave room for Verstappen, who had made his presence abundantly clear to Kimi before the corner.

In Malaysia Vettel chose a path that left him no choice but to run wide and into the racing line, which caused him to hack Verstappen, who knew he was there and barely managed to avoid contact. Then Vettel's trajectory took him across the racing line and into Nico, who had no idea what was over his right shoulder and was driving around the corner the same way everyone else except Seb.

Two common elements - Verstappen and Vettel. One more common element - in both cases it was Vettel making the aggressive move. Racing incidents, okay if you say so. But for my money Seb should not be giving any lectures to any Red Bull drivers.

It's true. That was stellar driving. And he didn't kill anyone, as much as I was waiting for it to happen.

You're comparing Verstappen to Senna?
Well, there's one other quality that he shares with Senna and that is that Senna also never cared about what other drivers thought of him when Prost came round to complain....again.... And that happend... many many times
And it shows in his driving style, Senna also was very hard to pass..

So everybody that is complaining about Verstappen now, think of this:
Who made F1 more spectacular back in the days (in case you're old enough to have been part of that): Prost or Senna?
Easy question eh?

Nelson & Nigel

In a way - yes. I can't remember watching a recent race where a driver was so much better than the field. Throw a yellow helmet on Ves and paint the car day-glow and I'd be hard pressed to believe I wasn't watching a classic Senna drive.

Question is, if Ves=Senna...who is Prost?

Michael Schumacher , Sophie Kumpen (Max his mom) , and Max Verstappen in one picture !!!

I'm sure Schumacher knew it already that Max would be a future F1 World Champion ...

Max is born to race ...

Any more pics of Max's mom?

I agree 1,000 % !

1-Max was born in Belgium
2-Max his ID (passport) shows he is Belgian
3-Max his driver license comes from Belgium ,because he was obligated to get his driver license in Belgium because of his Belgian ID .

The only thing that is Dutch from Max is his "F1 driver license"
And that's why he has the Dutch flag on his F1 car and not the Belgian flag...
Why ?
Financial speculation...Of course , and he is right .

Not that I care much, and I guess you can "claim" whatever you want to claim. But if you're born in Belgium, and you have a Belgian passport... then that makes you pretty Belgian!

When I speak to a Dutch person, I'll speak in my Dutch accent. I don't speak Flemish to someone who's not Flemish.
