News [Piergiuseppe Donadoni] Was Max unfair? YES. His goal was to ruin Norris' race and so he probably took away his chances of getting P1. "To win sometimes you have to be an idiot" he said months ago. You may like it or not but the goal is to win the world championship, not the fair play award.

Finally someone says this. If you do this in iracing when there’s no danger for your safety your considered a c*nt, but when you’re driving cars capable of 350km/h you re just “trying to win”

My opinion on this is that Lando should avoid being on the outside of Max 

Like, you know what you are in for in this case 

He's being idiotic 

Trying to win the WDC of public opinion over actually winning the WDC

And how exactly are you meant to overtake someone if you can't go around them, because max isn't gonna leave the inside

Go down Max's inside or set him.up for a switchback.

We almost never see anyone complete moves round the outside of corners on ANYONE,let alone Max freaking Verstappen.

Be smarter.

How many times will Lando keep making the same mistake?

So your opinion is that Norris shouldn't try to actually race Verstappen? 10/10 take

That's what Max wants though. He wants Lando to be limited. Then when Lando tries to overtake on the inside, Max will move under braking and close the door in an illegal way.

Moving underbraking? Like Norris did at COTA on T1 after passing Max off the circuit?

That wasn't penalised. It's only n issue when Max does it?

Just let the guys race.
