    Max seemed mightly quick today, and was the tinest of margins away from taking poll.

    They've redesigned the Abu Dhabi track too which has made it a complete mercedes track

    I agree that Toto is probably as bad as Horner, although one does have the Karen nickname.

    I don’t think Lewis is anywhere near as bad as Max though.

    Not entirely but nowhere near on Max’s level.

    Over 1 lap yes but over a race distance he doesn't stand a chance.

    Experience might be what wins this championship. Hamilton has been there and got the t-shirt many times over. I've got a funny feeling Max will crumble under the pressure.

    I hope not, and we get a hard but fair fight to the end, and the best man/car wins.

    Just seen Ma has been called to the Stewards for the "brake test" incident, so that could be a result demotion, points deduction or grid penalty for the last race(or nothing). Got a feeling if the stewards have called him in, there will be evidence in the elementary that he was a bit naughty...

    He is but in different ways. Max is unpredictable and won't back out of anything. Lewis pushes everyone but in a smooth way. Max will go deep and then brake sharply into a corner. Lewis will brake earlier but not as much and will take more speed into the corner pushing the other car in that way.

    If he gets ahead he's hard to pass as he doesn't let anyone pass without risking a crash. I wouldn't rule him or the team out so easily.
    Red Bull have had the faster car at many points this season.

    Max has cut more corners to gain advantage and driven people off the track more times in the last 3 races than most have done all season.

    I can't see how they can give anything there's clear radio of the race director instructing max to give the place back. There's also radio evidence that mercedes knew about it as their instant reply to Lewis when he complained was 'its ok, max was told to give the place back.'

    I think sky have just nailed it. Lewis was trying not to overtake before the drs line. That's all on him not the red bull

    Who really gives a toss. Over the antics. It's not just motor racing/F1.
    Come on lewis lad.
    Brits are the worst in the world for knocking their own.

    Generally speaking Lewis is a lot safer, for the reasons you outline. I wouldn't say one is fairer than the other just Max is so unpredictable. I think he's going to cause a serious incident at some point.

    Exactly. Max is unpredictable and brakes so late that even he doesn’t make the corner, let alone the other driver making the corner too. Not exactly safe and sportsman like.

    Yes I'd agree with that. I don't think max is any more of a cheat than Lewis. I think they're both as good/bad as each other with regards to dirty tactics but I agree that Max's approach is more likely to lead to a crash, Lewis is more likely to lead to someone slowing and letting him pass

    I don't think Max is "dirty" as such, but just too much of a hot head that lets his emotions win. Lewis is the opposite, though. Even when he's upset, he seems focused.

    Whilst Lewis half slows making it clear that he's going to carry speed into the corner and go wide around the edge so the other driver backs off. Equally as unsportsmanlike really. In reality both are simply trying to get the absolute best out of their cars using their own styles
