Max was so salty today after the race lol didn't even spray anyone with his rose water, basically told DC to fuck off.
Not the biggest DC fan but I love how he took that one to Charles right after. "I guess you're happier with your P3 than Max with his P2"
I'm going to say the same thing I said last year when all the Norris fans (or Max haters) were salty that Norris got a 5 second penalty for overtaking Max off track when Max was the one who pushed him off. Back then I said Norris should've given the position back and made a case that Max didn't leave him space which is why he had to go off track. And I think the same applies here, Max should've given the position back and made a case that Piastri didn't leave him room to do anything else. Because let's face it, Piastri didn't leave him space. Piastri barely stayed within the lines and had he also gone off Max wouldn't have received a penalty. But Max did end up overtaking Piastri off track and he stubbornly refused to give the position back so he deserved the penalty.
On a sidenote, I do find it funny how Piastri pulls a Verstappen-esque move on Verstappen and everyone still puts all the blame on Verstappen. I guess it's okay to make moves like that if you're not named Max Verstappen.
I think the ruling is that he doesn't need to leave space cuz max wouldn't have made the corner at that speed if he left him space. It's basically cancelling the alongside-ness since the move wouldn't stick.
I had zero problem with the move this, last, or any time. I think it probably was worth giving back right away but he handled the penalty really really well and was in contention anyway
From his driver cam it looks like he probably could've made the corner if Piastri had left space. But I'm not trying to defend one or another as I also have no issue with what happened. Piastri did what Max would've done and Max got a taste of his own medicine.
I think this season is going to be an interesting championship fight between Piastri and Verstappen.
