basically it's all in Max's (enormous) head and ego

petty act of "revenge" - nothing gained, lost respect from the F1 fraternity and his own fans. 

 

Frankly, I never had a good impression of him right from the start.

Russell's a different story.

Yeah, hope he beats Max next season.

the truth is somewhere in between what Max said and what Sergio did (or did not do).

managing F1 drivers not easy, just look at Alpine pit wall and Ocon. very funny.

Lambiase: "This is the final lap, Max. Max, if we don’t pass Fernando on the exit of 12 can we let Checo through, please, let Checo back through."

Bird: "Okay if Max does not pass Fernando, he’ll you through at the exit of turn 12."

Lambiase: "Don’t worry about the DRS, Max. Let Checo through. Max, let’s Checo through, please." Bird: "Okay so Max will let you through."

Lambiase: "Max, what happened?"

Perez: "Okay. Thank you for that, guys. Thank you."

Verstappen: "I told you already last time you guys, don’t ask that again to me. Okay? Are we clear about that? I gave my reasons and I stand by it."

Horner: "I’m sorry about that, Checo."
