@WhingerSpice @ArchBradley @F1Tornello Are you 100% sure that Todt was not involved in asking Masivto favor Max for the win, so that Lewis doesn't break Schumacher's record? I mean not during the race but before?

@F1Tornello Masi broke the rules at Red Bull's request. He knew what he was doing. He corrupted the contest and made an epic season meaningless. He didn't do "the best he could do". He did the opposite of his actual job. All he had to do was follow the rules.

Lo dije siempre, a pesar del error de no colocar una bandera roja tras el accidente de Latifi, Masi intentó terminar uno de los mejores campeonatos de la historia con los pilotos luchando en pista por sus chances. Fue lo mejor que pudo hacer. Terminar con SC hubiera sido horrible para un campeonato sensacional. Además, así como Red Bull lo paró a Verstappen y le colocó gomas blandas para la última vuelta, Mercedes pudo hacer lo mismo con Hamilton pero no se animó 🏁👇

@WhingerSpice What Wittich implies is that others more powerful were behind what Masi did, and their role was never investigated. Starting with the stewards and endung with the 'godfathers' Todt and Ecclestone

Scapegoat? Masi broke the rules and corrupted the integrity of the contest by artificially manipulating the grid order and breaking safety car procedure. And he did it because Red Bull asked him to. He's not a scapegoat. He literally did it. We all saw it.

George Russell says Max Verstappen did not have the same complaints as rivals about the last era of Formula 1 cars as he “was winning” but admits he would “understand” if the four-time world champion walked away from the sport 🗣️

We will never forget…….

Ferrari's current #F1 regime prefers gradual upgrades - but expect big changes on the car next time out due to the enforced April break: the-race.com/formula-1/ferr…

@natesaundersF1 New York Post? 😂

Max's stunning quit threat extending beyond traditional F1 media today. Feels like an existential moment of crisis for Formula 1 and their new rules, especially given how hard the sport has tried to navigate its way through the criticism

Another podium here in Japan. Pushed to the very max until the end. Now time to go back to Maranello and use the break to develop as much as possible the car. Happy to see Ollie okay after the nasty crash.

@F1BigData Chill, he will only embarrass himself and his fanbois. Who quits like that at the first sign of adversity? Max should learn to adapt his driving style. I don't hear Isaac or Arvind complaining. Over and over, he acts like a spoiled, petulant child.

If Verstappen retires because of the new engines, it would possibly be one of the biggest embarrassments ever committed by Formula 1

@maxsredbull In that case, new regs would have been ze best, and Max the shampion we all know and respect 💪

thinking how max couldve been in a merc rn

@cytrusf1 Who are you talking about? I don't hear Mercedes or McLaren fans complaining. Also not Alpine. Not even Isaac's or Arvind's fans 😜

Oh boy, just woke up and I see that everyone agrees that the current engine regs are shit? But I thought us, older fans were just salty that our driver isn't winning?

@Verstappenn_ Yes, and? Schumacher was beaten by Rosberg in the same car three seasons in a row, and everyone still thinks he is one of the GOATs.

Hamilton literally got beaten again

@TruthF111 @ahmed_baokbah Yeah, in retrospect, Horner made Verstappen great. And Newey

@ahmed_baokbah We are just fans bro so I expect this They even used to abuse Horner, the guy who literally destroyed the team just for max 😂

@DutchTortill Hahahaha, fallacies, fallacies... Rosberg smoked Schumi Hamilton smoked Rosberg etc.

Perez smoked Bottas Kimi smoked Russell Leclerc smoked Hamilton. Those dominant 2014-2021 Mercs have been squandered by average af drivers, LMAO

@AchalG9 @wearetherace @XPBImages What are you talking about, I haven't heard Charles or George talking about retirement? 🤔

F1 may soon loose its best driver of current generation if Red Bull doesn’t deliver a good car or Mercedes destiny sign him too soon. Yes there will be new talented drivers but there will be no Max and F1 will loose a lot of viewership. I stopped following the F1 after Schumacher’s first retirement and I restarted watching F1 since the time of Max.

Max Verstappen has admitted he has a decision to make about his F1 future due to his lack of enjoyment with the current rules. After getting eliminated in Q2 in Japan, Verstappen said he has “a lot of stuff personally to figure out”.

@archer_rs You don't go to a restaurant just for the cooking, do you? The same you don't go to a bar just for the fancy cocktails they can mix. Otherwise, you could have the same couple of beers at a fraction of the cost from the supermarket 🤷

Dinner last evening was surprising. Small restaurant, friendly, good reviews. I ordered sardines with a tomato and caper sauce. This arrived. Yes that is a tin with the lid opened.

@Curlyracer0 @MV33Racing This is not a point about the new regulation. It is about an 'opinion poll' that apparently validates Max's opinions about the new reg. But the poll's question was simply whether Max should continue to voice his views or not.

@DrummerBMC @MV33Racing You Sir are not getting the problem with the current regulations due to bias. Just think it through, they are lifting off the power long before the braking zone and going slow through certain corners to charge, when they enter 2 or 3 abreast it's fake and not on the limit.

🚨 More than 78% of F1 fans support Max Verstappen’s criticism of the new regs. The poll was conducted by one of the largest motorsport websites, RacingNews365, following the Chinese GP.

@MV33Racing Whether it's you doing the manipulation or RacingNews365, in the end it's all the same. An obvious agenda to change the rules because Max is not winning

@DrummerBMC From the original source. The haters keep trying to find something to hate.

Lewis Hamilton on Instagram: "Back in the dojo. So unreal to have a lesson with Tetsuro Shimaguchi, a legendary samurai artist. He choreographed all the sword fighting scenes in Kill Bill which is mad. One of my favourite films of all time. Our lesson took me way back and reminded me of when I did karate as a little kid. I first started having lessons to help me handle the bullies at school. It did more than teach me to defend myself, it instilled in me discipline, respect and humility. I took lessons every week for seven years and every class began with us kneeling and bowing to our sensei. I did the same yesterday to begin my lesson with Tetsuro. It’s amazing in life when you have these full circle moments. I didn’t understand why we had to bow when I was younger, but as I’ve grown up and learned to respect the tradition, I came to appreciate the beauty of the gesture. Thank you, Sensei, and thank you Tokyo for the beauty, culture and warm welcome."

@Verstappenn_ It's been one of the worst, actually. Because Max was protected, didn't have any internal competition whatsoever, he could rack all the wins (and points) available. For comparison, just look at McLaren 2025, where drivers were competing equally, they split the points between them

We don’t talk about Max Verstappen 2023 enough, forget being the best season by a f1 driver of all time. It might actually be the best season by a driver ever in every Motorsport
