Yeah, Verstappen is on his level in pace but in terms of driving standards is on the level of Mazepin.

I’ve got several friends and family members who compete or have competed in SMRC level events, Isle of Man TT and more and not only do they think that Verstappen got off lightly, they did say that a drivers level of aggression will affect the manner in which you race wheel to wheel. Hamilton saw through Max trying to get DRS advantage but didn’t see him slamming on the brakes or moving to the middle of the track.

Max pushes the boundaries of what’s cheating and what’s not. I can only liken it to Neal and Plato in BTCC - drivers who hate each other and it ends up in a toxic fashion. This time it’s one racer way more culpable than the other.

I don’t see it that way at all. We have one young up and coming driver against a complete legend, the young guy is always going to be that bit more desperate and do questionable things, just like Hamilton did when he was young. If Hamilton was defending a lead he wouldn’t think twice about using any tactics he could, the season’s with him and Rosberg fighting it out showed that. He shunted Alex Albon of the track twice last season in a desperate attempt to recover from mistakes.
