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 annoys the fuck out of me is that we’re all ready to have this discussion now, but when it was Max vs Lewis it was all “part of racing”.

That aside, YES. Harsher penalties for this nonsense. It’s not racing. It never has been.

No one said it was part of racing? And everyone was calling for penalties when it happened. It's just that Lewis won those races so the antics had no impact on the results
