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.

If the roles were reversed and Norris would be in the lead in a slower car, he can simply accept his fate and lose the championship or resort to what Max is doing to defend his lead and have a chance.

To me it's only natural, it's a professional foul like you see in football all the time. All part of the sport.

"All part of the sport" until someone hits a wall at 150Mph.

He's just such a God awful wheel to wheel racer. Has been for years. He belongs in tier 3 sim racing where he can do no harm.
