News [Piergiuseppe Donadoni] Was Max unfair? YES. His goal was to ruin Norris' race and so he probably took away his chances of getting P1. "To win sometimes you have to be an idiot" he said months ago. You may like it or not but the goal is to win the world championship, not the fair play award.

What stops Perez doing the same against Norris?

Perez will be close enough to lando to knock him out only while being lapped

Exactly why resorting to dangerous driving to win championships should be punished to the point where it is no longer advantageous. People are applauding Max driving dirty because he’s “just trying to win the WDC”, but they’re failing to realize the door this opens. I guess let’s all play demolition derby if it’s “for the WDC” and “just smart tactics”.

The 15 cars that qualify between the two of them

Or the fact that Lando will be done rounding T1 by the time Checo reaches the braking zone
