So all a bit classless all round then?
It was also his sister and girlfriend who were getting threatened, not just his parents.
It is just a sad state of affairs that the default position when anyone makes a mistake/does something wrong appears to be death threats.
In sadly unsurprising news Verstappen and his family have been getting dogs abuse/death threats on social media.
In more surprising news so has Perez.
Back to the unsurprising news Red Bull take the blame for Max not letting Perez past...
Just seen the highlights.
Quite telling about Max wasn't it? Not just his attitude to racing Hamilton but also to his own team.
Well done George and Mercedes. Hopefully that is a positive portent of what's to come next season.
Sainz must feel cursed. He gets a tap, has a quick spin, stays on track but has to retire while Alonso does a wheely for 100 yards before smashing into the barriers and scraping along them for another 50 or so yards but pulls into the pits gets a new nose, some new tyres and is out again and...
Appropriately for a man named Helmut, Marko is a massive bell end. He always strikes me as someone who tries to be as outspoken and blunt as Niki Lauda was but without the talent or charm. It's a shame that such a successful team is populated at the top end by such graceless, classless people.
I'd love him to win one too and as a street circuit that's difficult to overtake on Singapopre is a great potential candidate...but it's only the first practice session. Red Bull get faster and faster over the course of the weekend and with Max having the possibility of wrapping up the title on...
Well done Nick Devries. Hopefully that ill be Latifi out of a seat next year. He's rubbish. Other than that a pretty dull race.
And talking of dull, George Russell might be the dullest decent driver of modern times. He doesn't do anything exciting (apart from that time he smacked Bottas's...
Hamilton out after first lap collision with Alonso. Verstappen already up to 6th.
I think we can guess how this will end. It'll be more fun to guess on which lap max takes the lead. I'm going for 17.
Ah, I didn't know that. That makes more sense. It also clarifies something that has confused me about Ricciardo. I remember not long ago the sky f1 team thinking a statement by Ricciardo was deliberately vague which said something like: I will be with McLaren next year. It seemed fairly...
That's nuts.
Alpine announce Piastri as their driver. He denies it. Reportedly because he is going to McLaren. However McLaren have announced indycar champion Palou as their driver. As have indycar team Gnassi.
Someone is going to be very disappointed. Unless both Ricciardo AND Norris are...
Just seen the highlights. I only saw Q3 yesterday so didn't realise what a missed opportunity it was for Mercedes to lock out the front row. Lewis was quicker than George in both Q1 and Q2 so he would have had a really good chance of bettering or getting close to George's time. That would...
Wow, what a qually!
Russell on Pole! Verstappen in 10th, red bull unreliability strikes giving him no power on his final run.
Norris in 4th.
Hamilton, no DRS in 7th.
What a grid we've got for tomorrow.
Ferrari: Charles, box box!
Charles: It's the formation lap...
Ferrari: Yes but there is rain forecast for tomorrow. We want to get the jump on Red Bull if it arrives early.
Charles: ...
