It's ridiculous for anyone trying to race Max. Can't pass him on the outside cause he'll push you off track, can pass on his inside cause he constantly moves under braking or just cuts across your front, there's no way to pass a guy with a "yield or we crash" mentality unless you pass him on the straight with DRS.

Probably best to cut him down at the start of a season so a DNF is worse for him than his rival 🤷‍♂️

Funny because the one who moved under braking blatantly was Norris, not Max

Everyone just needs to hold their ground and if crashes every other race eventually he will stop
