It's a shame for Max that they stuck him on hards after he'd raced so well, but jesus christ does he get away with some nonsense. Ten seconds for intentionally crashing into a competitor? Ridiculously light.

He obviously went for the "ahead at the apex" rulebending* that he's used so effectively by rolling off the brakes and trying to claim the position off track on T1, and then when it doesn't go his way he's lost his head.

He's the best driver on the grid, not just in terms of speed but also consistency, track awareness and shrewd rule awareness too - but when he behaves like this it reflects poorly, the way it did when Schumacher was doing this sort of thing too. I guess that kind of anger is part of what makes a best-of-the-best racing driver though.

*It's not really rulebending, more following the letter of the law than the spirit, which is what makes a fantastic competitor -- very clever, very much maximising every inch of the track and of the rulebook.

Norris in the cooldown room watching Max crash into George literally said: "I've done that before... In mario kart" lol

P5 for the Hulk! Points for Alonso!

Did Hulkenberg in a Sauber just overtake Hamilton in a Ferrari?

What the fuck happened at the end. Max's move made no fucking sense. Total red mist moment there.

A Sauber overtaking a Ferrari was not on my bingo card for this weekend

Max should be a race ban for that, but it'll never happen.

Bro what

Fun seeing Max get Driver of the day, though. He would have deserved it until the last few laps.

Max when he feels unfairly treated by the marshalls is something else.. this feels like the race where he and Norris were pushing each other off track

"Why are we on hard?!"

Same question here, Max. Official tire info says you should still have a used soft tire left that could be used.

Piastri driving very mature after putting in the work to make it possible yesterday.

Max really showed how “mature” he is today.

Verstappen is now under investigation for causing a collision, it seems. So what was the 10 seconds penalty for?

Leclerc podium looks very likely, Ferrari has been a rocketship on low fuel.

Looks like the Sauber upgrades are working really well.. while Williams is not convincing here

Well, given how many cars took to the runoff there, I can understand why Nico did not know behind which car he should have correctly come back onto the track. He had no real advantage there.

Spain 2025, the front wing battle race

Fernando taking the full tour of the track.

How Max kept that car on the road is insane. And as I'm writing this. Seems like people bumping into Max at the moments his car isn't slipping...

I'd like to see Max and Piastri battle a bit today.

Max winning driver of the day is wild lol - maybe people just really dislike George and found his ramming funny?

Jude Bellingham did NOT read the room well lol.. laughing immediately after the Antonelli dnf while sitting at Merc
