    Seems like Max is trying to get into Russell’s head. Typical psychological warfare between drivers, which IMO there’s nothing wrong with that. If he does indeed intentionally wreck him, that’s where heavy penalties would need to be given out.

    Its one thing when you talk shit before the race to psych out your opponent. It’s another thing entirely to risk doing them bodily harm by following through and wrecking them.

      If it is psychological warfare, then Max IMO has no business complaining about George’s arguing to reporters

      Isn’t it a death threat to say “I’ll intentionally crash into you” in this sport?

        Not even just crashing, crashing in a way that “puts your fucking head through a wall”. Clearly he wants a Russell crash to be quite the shunt.

        A bit tasteless perhaps, considering the last F1 driver to die was from a head injury. But Max has always been a bit of a cunt like that.
