Take your RBR blinders off and look at who you support. They are toxic in the extreme.
What's toxic is denial by Merc and HAM that they did something wrong, you know it and I know it they did as much as you are trying to shift this argument. I believe you tried it on another forum member also.

Here is a search. I hope you can pull your head out of the sand on this.

Quote:
Verstappen’s Red Bull team released a statement saying: “While we may be fierce rivals on-track, we are all united against racism.

“We condemn racist abuse of any kind towards our team, our competitors and our fans.

“As a team we are disgusted and saddened to witness to racist abuse Lewis endured yesterday on social media after the collision with Max.

“There is never any excuse for it, there is certainly no place for it in our sport and those responsible should be held accountable.”
.....Doesn't sound like a toxic team to me.
From what I understand they condamn every form of racism.
Or I'm completely misunderstanding that text....

It's a part of the entire Marko-Horner gestalt. Max has been driving super-aggressively for his entire career and Sir Lewis fought back. Just as the vast majority of the F1 racers said, it was a racing incident.

Max MAY learn from this but it is doubtful. The RBR propaganda system and the shielding of Max from responsibility by his team handlers will only make it worse.

24 hrs after savaging Lewis during and after the race. This is called spin. It is a CYA move.

They are toxic. Look at how they treat their driver program members.

There is no question who's at fault here. The organisation who is entitled to judge about this has done so.
You may not find this fair, but in the end it's the FIA that has the final word about that.
If it wasn't Lewis' fault, he wouldn't have gotten a penalty for it.

There I think that just about covers it

Most complete analysis I have seen:


Even shows examples replay footage of Sainz and Grojean crashing at that corner on a lap 1 that was deemed a racing incident and compares it.

Someone needs to show Horner all the passes and crashes at that very corner that no one dears to ever pass on.

I will confirm from myself that Max is the better driver currently than HAM and Lewis is doing everything in his power in a disparaging manner to keep himself in the hunt.

Again, they never said it was wholly one drivers fault, which means some of the fault goes to Max, just more so to Lewis.

If Lewis was determined wholly at fault, then no doubt the penalty would have been harsher.

So Max drives aggressively his whole career takes out multiple people and caused multiple crashes, was responsible for a double move rule change, etc ,etc. A well known aggressive driver by everyone based on his history.

Yet a 7 time WDC who normally avoids contact because he knows the long game, decides to give Max some of his own medicine is now doing so in a "Disparaging" manner because you think so?

I hope this happens more than once. It would show weather or not Max has learned anything at all.

Perhaps Max will try to take Lewis out because it's soo easy to do, and takes himself out (Schumacher 1997), or they both go out. Either way, he has more to lose. Let's see what happens.

Completely twisted thought process. You support the most toxic team and entitled driver in the history of the sport and denigrate someone who has won in every category he's raced in before he earned his seat in F1 and contested 10 WDCs now 11 while winning 7. He has had 3 WDC teammates and bet them 5 of 7 times. He has the best rookie season in the history of F1 yet you think someone who literally only wins and get pole positions because he has the fastest car is better. 11 wins in 6 years with 4 pole positions isn't a great record up to this year. Overrated. Entitled.

Just saw this, if already posted please ignore. Impact was just insane, thank goodness he’s alright and the safety of these cars is unbelievable. I feel ashamed for ever complaining about the HALO system a few years back. I was dead wrong and it was a great addition to the vehicles. Here’s to more great safe racing in 2021!

Wasn't much of a Palmer fan when he was racing.... but he now commentates on the BBC Sport website (App and radio 5 live)) along with a co-commentator and a couple of other contributors and they are the best.
If you can VPN the UK and access the BBC Sport website for their F1 commentary its worth a listen next race.
They pretty much called it a racing incident from the get go.
