Hilarious, at this rate he'll end up being banned for the final race
- I'd love to see that. And then see Lando just come up short by 2 points or something, or get a bullshit penalty. Oscar's win at Hungary will be the decider for this WDC and that will be definite proof that some of this stuff is scripted.
Ridiculous.

They're excusing the penalty because Max was "gaining an advantage", the fucking audacity on these guys.

After they conveniently called VSC so late and shortly after Norris swapped positions, and then greenlight it in the last lap in the shittiest of places on the track.

The WDC is just being manipulated at this point.
- Bro was literally partially alongside Oscar when it went green when he should have been 4 tenths back. Seems like an obvious penalty to me. He tried to anticipate the VSC ending, and lost.
- Abu Dhabi 2021, suck it up.
He's cracking under the pressure.
- Not in this case. He was trying to time it perfectly and was off by 0.5 second.
  
  He was 0.63 seconds below the minimum, over a half a second indicates he was overly focused on being right on top of Piastri rather than his margin. Max appears to get more reckless under pressure.
