F1 Mexican GP: Verstappen penalized after ignoring yellow flags in Qualification

Actually he's constantly in their sidepods. His current car is good enough for that.

You must being happy with that

Verstappen retirement stats vs Hamilton stats:

Considering Hamilton has an extra 8 years over Verstappen in those results

To be fair these stats are also showing that the ratio of all retirements
to the ones caused by collisions/accidents is nearly the same for both
drivers, albeit accumulated within a much shorter time in the case of
Verstappen, of course. Thanks for the interesting stats!

By the way some guys here should really shift a gear back or two.
Sure one or the other dutch member is blinded by love for Max but
the "contributions" of some "Max-critics" ( like for example a well known
Lewis fanboy) certainly doesn't make it any better. Thread is full of
childish comments, especially last 3 pages...
Dear @muzikant and @Appie Kuipers , no doubt a great deal of criticicm
comes from Max "haters" indeed but on the other hand that certainly doesn't
mean that you have to defend him everytime no matter what.
I'm probably speaking for many F1 fans now that are not fanboys or haters
of any driver, fans which maybe have a slight preference for one but like to
see exciting races the foremost: I want to see a Max fighting for wins, a Max
showing his fantastic skills, his brave overtaking maneuvers. What i don't
want to see is a Max doing stupid things, who ruins his own races with such
(and maybe even that of someone else, too). If he f***s up, he gets his well
deserved criticism, like Vettel got it this summer (at Silverstone for example),
it's that simple.

I think you shouldn't see it as hard as the rest. everything that goes against it all came together in Mexico .. and Max is the bad boy again. Last year he lost the pole to Ricardo. Max was fast all weekend ... after a difficult season with the car. He was too eager and wanted so badly...Hmmm If the same people also say some nice nice things because Max has driven enough nice races in a car that is much less than Merc @ Ferrari I can also appreciate the criticism .. And a Max fan? I love him because he has an outspoken opinion .. does not like that sweet PR F1 talk..He is honest and says what he thinks, it is precisely this top sport needs a lot of the most of the drivers are politic correckt.
And then the statements of two colors Lewis .. which I regret one time he praises Max the other time he kicks him. Lewis himself also knows that the qualification was his only mistake (for the same thing it was Lewis who went off in turn 1 actually just mindfucing.
