That Heineken theory from one of the last pages is more and more plausable

It doesn't matter who we are, what matters is our plan.
Hold the phone...Belgium ISN'T the Netherlands?
But Nasr went off the track once. That counts for something, right?

So is Rosberg happy that he finally beat Hamilton?

One of these days he'll do it on merit, too.
Does that mean we get to bagsy Kevin Spacey?

After Nine Lives? No ta.
He is an idiot, I was just watching his incidents on the Sky Sports website and I am amazed that he finished the race without recieving a punishement.
Rosberg tried to deliberately take Hamilton out a few races back by forgetting to steer.
He's still the pantomime villain. Chill a bit.
Lewis had the advantage of a top car from day one and a team-mate who he could never really Lise to (if he lost to Alonso it was expected, if he won he was amazing). Lewis was incredibly consistent too in his first season.
Lewis did some silly things (getting stuck in the gravel at China pit-stop), but he was never as blatantly stupid as Crashtappen.
As l said before, hopefully it's just him being young, dumb and full of come, but l still think DANRIC is a better bet for the title, certainly in the short term.
Verstappen won't be a complete driver until a few years from now, but I'm too entertained by his driving to call for punishment.
I am part of the problem.
"Only".

How is getting stuck in the gravel to Hamilton's fault when his team opted to not bring him in when he asked for it countless times? His tires were down to the canvas.
Yay, another spoiled brat in F1.
To be clear he is right about turn one but that doesn't entitle him to be a douche for the rest of the race. Also he admits it was Vettel's fault but then it's the Ferraris that ruined him so he has to take revenge. Also on his way to the pits on first lap he was very dangerous to anyone else. Fuck this attitude.

Yeah, did not want to make it sound like it's no big deal. Given how unwilling he his to listen to his critics, some big crash at the end of a high-speed straight will happen sooner or later.
The only critics that he should listen to is race control, they didn't say a word right?

Don't worry, stewards will protect him, since he's considered the "future of F1" and a certain dutch company came into F1 because of him.
Unless he causes a major accident he won't be penalized.

Ah, ye olde conspiracy theory.
To be clear, I'm not defending his defending. Can't believe he's getting away with it.

Max is right. It's Ferrari's fault for the incident. If they didn't suck so much, they would've qualified further up the grid, thus avoiding a collision with Max.

No if Max was better he wouldn't of bogged down on the start to be passed by the poor Ferrari's thus it's his own fault he had to dive into a gap that was always going to disappear...
It wasn't even a gap, he was literally off track and cutting the corner.

He had two wheels on the track... On THE track!!! /S
No gap?
Erm...

If that isn't a gap, I think it's probably best if we stop calling F1 ''racing''.

Yeah that's in the corner already, look a second or 2 earlier, when Max sees the wide gap Kimi leaves on the inside, before hitting the corner.
You think he should just have let go of the gaspedal and moved his car behind Kimi?

Death by black JPN
Wouldn't have.
And come on. There isn't a single driver on the grid who hasn't bogged down at the start at least once.
Kimi clearly left him no room so he had to go on the curb in the corner, but it's not fair to blame VES for that, he was alongside Kimi.
It's also not Kimi's fault as he had Vettel cutting along on the other side.
Vettel could have left a bit more room, but he couldn't have seen VES there and gambled that Kimi would leave him more room, which Kimi couldn't give.
You can fault VES rightfully for a bunch of things yesterday. Dangerously cutting off Kimi and pushing other lads off of the track by braking past the breaking point at the end of a DRS zone, but that first corner was a prime example of a racing incident where circumstances just came together.
? Irvine got a 2-race ban for this.

What I don't get though, is why there hasn't been a single warning or penalty given for those actions.
Would that really be due to ''Heineken'' and 'Max = future of F1''? cause I find that hard to believe.
Ah didn't know about the first bit, I thought there would be clear guidelines, seems like something logical for a dangerous sport like this.

I don't understand why the position of the steward isn't a proper role in this sport. Instead of inviting some drivers and others of yesteryear to make them feel more important than they are, have the same trained professionals attend at every race or at least to a set of races (one group for the European races, others for the Asian races, for example). Wouldn't that bring more consistency into the sport?
Even better, have the GPDA/Drivers appoint them. There's a rulebook and if the GPDA appoints the stewards (which would then most likely by some older impartial drivers, like Wurz himself), there should be way less issues with unfair or inconsistent penalties.
A revenge attitude I see.
He'll cause a big crash some day with that blocking of his, when someone just stops tolerating his attitude. Will be very entertaining to see.
Also poor Kimi didn't screw up his race lol.

That seems perfectly reasonable, which is why it probably won't happen.
