It was an example to show you, that even if the car is in front the pass isn't complete if he can't make it around the next corner.

I don't need to, the race director has it under control.

Actually he made 29 mistakes !

Call it whatever you want, the race director deemed it only worth a warning due to the direction given before the race.

That explains his skills in driving in wet conditions, such as his race in Brazil in 2016, for example"

So why has he achieved so little in F1?

All the skilled drivers in F1 history did more with a lesser car in the start of their career. Max hasn't, why does he need to have the fastest car and still lose races?

He has a lot to prove. I'm waiting to see it. Never said he can't......he just has squandered most of his opportunities so far.

I think it's you that said or I read somewhere that Jos made Max find his own way home once or twice when he under performed making him work harder to achieve those driving goals.

Ok my friend.
Right .OK my friend .


I don't need to, the race director has it under control.
By MAX's 5 sec. time penalty your race director was completely OUT of control.



Call it whatever you want, the race director deemed it only worth a warning due to the direction given before the race.

Because the black car in question had a star on his nose .

[SenorFunkyPants]

For the hard of understanding:

Masi:
"With regard to the tolerance given to people running outside the track limits during the race, it was mentioned very clearly in the drivers' meeting and the notes that it would not be monitored in setting the lap time, so to speak.

If an overtake takes place with a car off track and gains an advantage, a lasting advantage, then I will go on the radio and suggest to the team that they immediately relinquish that position, and that was made very clear.

However, it will always be monitored in accordance with the sporting regulations, being that a lasting advantage overall must not be gained."

Clear enough?
I don't think there are forum tools to allow it to be better explained with coloured crayons or something like that.

Indeed my friend .
If MAX pulled a bad race . He had to walk at home , and through the rain as well .
It was regarding heated discussions after the race in the car , Jos pulled over and kicked MAX A$$ out of the car !
Once he walked for 6 + hours . And it happened more than once !
That was the hard school !!!

Not bad for a 10 year old !

No Pain No Gain !

You are confusing Max's overtake off the track with something that doesn't matter.

For the millionth time, Masi (Race Director, gave this guidance before the race):

"With regard to the tolerance given to people running outside the track limits during the race, it was mentioned very clearly in the drivers' meeting and the notes that it would not be monitored in setting the lap time, so to speak.

If an overtake takes place with a car off track and gains an advantage, a lasting advantage, then I will go on the radio and suggest to the team that they immediately relinquish that position, and that was made very clear.

Please read that several times and try to understand it.
Perhaps translate it to French maybe that will help you.

Please try to understand my friend.

That's one of the reasons why MAX performs even better under extreme stress situations .
No emotions behind the steering wheel , no higher heart beat at top speed . Just non-stop "200% concentration !

Born on the track. Killer instinct !

I sure he grew up so poor, his dad was only an F1 driver.

Couldn't complete a pass on a slower car without going off the track.

So was he past or not??, because it must be magic to force someone off the track from behind.

See tdott’s post above.

Every time you guys post about this, i’m legit gonna repost @tdott post because yea, u cant push someone sideways when you’re behind them.

My friend .I understand your statement perfectly .
In other words : The F1 rules (regulations) really s@ck .
For some drivers more than for others in the black car !
And the FIA s@cks even more ..
Can "YOU" please try to understand that ?

I'm NOT French my friend . I'm born and live in the "Flemish part of Belgium" (30 min. from Francorchamps)
French is one of the 4 languages that I speak and write .

1• Flemish and in several dialects (+/- same as Dutch)
2• German
3• English
4• French
5• Japanese (speak a little)

You are COMPLETELY wrong my friend . I know the family here in Belgium very well (Hasselt)
That's why MAX's ID (passport) and driver license are Belgian !
MAX is born in Belgium and MAX is Belgian my friend !
In the beginning Jos didn't had deep pockets my friend ! His (ex) wife Sofie-Kumpen (MAX mom) had the cash and sponsors on her side and her dad wasn't poor .
Kumpen is a Belgian race family !

It's from there that dad Jos career in F1 began ..

Later came MAX and his dad JOS was the hard school !
