Horner doesn’t help with his supportive/incendiary language “it’s what Max does” (I wish Horner would either protest the Merc rear wing or shut the f up and pay more attention to the RB continuing rear wing issues as he is boring the crap out of me now-phew, needed to get that off my chest, thanks for listening).
It sets a poor example imo for young drivers in lower categories. We have seen v similar issue with M Marquez in MotoGP with a somewhat “bashing “ approach into corners on multiple occasions without punishment and this now seems to be more common particularly in Moto3 and elsewhere which, it could be argued, has led to tragic consequences for two or three youngsters, sadly.
Not being skilful enough myself to race I appreciate that I might not “get it” of course.
Nonetheless I am looking forward to todays race, it could get tasty into turn one…

Yes it will be interesting to see the outcome of the RB/MV meeting at 1300 today with the race officials as he set his last and fastest practise lap whilst under double waved yellow flags for Gasly, so he could be due a 3 place penalty - yeah right doh Horner will weasel his way out of it I expect..
