Max and his fans thought they had it in the bag, my friend, on Friday and Saturday. More Crow was served on Saturday and Sunday on the weekend of Turkey than any weekend in the 2020 season.

FP1 - Zero points scored and all kinds of crap being talked about Lewis and Mercedes
FP2 - Zero points scored and all kinds of crap being talked about Lewis and Mercedes
FP3 - Zero points scored and all kinds of crap being talked about Lewis and Mercedes

Qualifying - Zero points scored and VER crying by the dumpster after Stroll on Pole)

Race Day - 25 and 1 for Fastest Lap.
HAM - 25 Points
VER - 8 Points

7th Championship Clinched.

Stand by for number 8.
MAX wasn't crying there while he sat on the ground .
MAX was really disappointed by the fact that Stroll took it in the last seconds .
Red Bull made the mistake there as they followed Stroll with the tire choice in the last laps of the QF .
It was Marko who said . Do it ! MAX refused it over the radio , but Marko had the last word anyway .
That's why MAX was just sitting there , broken from disappointment !
But also very angry , like a ticking bomb !
Oh....well .Sometimes Team orders really s@ck !

*Max has never humiliated Merc (period).
Then .I'm pretty sure you didn't watched the race in Abu Dhabi !

MAX pulled a gap from +/- 15 sec. on the first Merc !
While he was really relaxed , he lifted his right foot with 7 laps to go ...
Mate .Give me a break !

As usual the race was really boring . But suddenly the leading car ran in another color and that made the race actually really interesting ...

And It wasn't a spaceship ! How can that be ? Surprise !!!

Wolff has as usual a false poker face . In fact his face expression shows signs of bluff and he's really wondering how fast MAX can be !

As he showed it in a blink of an eye !

Well mate . I couldn't agree more . And you'll get your answer as well !

One thing is for sure in the '21 season : "7ewis vs MAX" !

May the fastest car win !

Maybe you watched the race but didn’t listen to the commentary...Merc turned their cars down to ensure they finished the race - securing 2nd place for BOT to finish ahead of VER in the standings.

Seems pretty smart to me when the overall race meant nothing to them

Hardly find RB winning and beating cars that were turned down “embarrassing” Merc.

Red Bull managed just the same at Monaco costing Ricciardo a win.
So not unusual.

Why would Mercedes sabotage Russell...makes zero sense.
And then apparently used Russell performance as a bargaining chip in Hamilton's contract negotiations....which would have been a lot stronger chip had they not "sabotaged" Russell's win.

I know no one takes anything MBelgium says seriously such is the conflicting nonsense he writes but sometimes it has corrected.

It would not have made much difference if Russell had been allowed win the race with that being used as a 'bargaining chip' by Wolf for the HAM situation,but Wolf panicked and screwed him though the fact Russ ran rings round BOT was enough to convince even simple minds that the car is the star.

No doubt the Merc had a performance advantage at that race...no one is disputing that.
So why sabotage Russell?
He had already passed Bottas for the lead and generally driven a great race (better than Bottas).
He was on for the win so deliberately messing up his pit stop achieved what?
Other than making Mercedes look like the Keystone cops...no one was fooled into thinking that Russell wasn't otherwise going to win the race.

Oh really what does that race have to do with your original assertion that RB embarrassed MERC in the last race?

Nothing, I ask again, how did RB embarrass MERC when all they cared about was securing BOT 2nd in the WDC over perennial 3rd place VER?

This is must be what you hear in the pits...

Horner: “Hey Toto we embarrassed you today!”
Toto: Holds up WDC and Constructors trophies “Yes mate you sure did!” Turns to his crew “well, we have to throw them a bone every now and then or Horner, Marko and Max will take their toys home and never come back.”
