"Hamilton would have done the same...same with Senna, Vettel and Schumacher.Vettel and Webber: Multi 21. Look it up if you do not remember it. Vettel also did something similar in Russia a few years back too...when Charles was his teammate.
Nah, I am not defending Max, just noting the other World Champs have done the same. When Nico won his Championship Lewis did all he could to back up Nico so he would not finish second. Think it was Vettel behind. Have a feeling he would not have passed Nico...bet he wanted Nico to win the WDC that year
I am stunned Max acted like a 2 year old throwing his toys from his pram. He looked like a wanker. Bet in hindsight Max will regret his actions based on the blow back from his fans and the media. Max is no longer racing for anything. He won the WDC, the Team already won Constructor. All that remains to fight for is the #2 spot in the WDC. It is clear Max does not care who comes second...but Red Bull does. Maybe now Max knows that the Team wants Checo to finish in P2 to show just how dominate RB was in 2022.
One more example of World Champs being cunts - 1997 - MS trying to run JV off the road in Jerez. In the end MS lots all of his points that year and got stuck in the gravel. JV won the WDC either way.
Heck, Lewis would have passed Russell today for the win if he could have pulled it off. Russell was not gifted the win today"
This is your original statement. And I am telling you none of the drivers you mentioned has done anything as egregious as Max did when they had already won the Championship. Yes, Lewis would have passed Russell if he could. What's wrong with that? They are racers after all and Lewis hasnt won a race all year.
I see now you criticize Max which you didnt do in your initial comment. Someone summarized all the previous times Sergio had helped Max. But when it came time for Max to help Sergio after he Max had already clinched the Championship, he declined. Nothing as selfish has ever happened in any sport. Ever.
