I saw that in its moment, but circumstances were very different, in that occasion Max put a lot of his own to end crashing, he knew that could happen. I think it's not the same testing brakes in front of your rival whose not earning points will lose him the championship, than not leaving enough room to be overtaken at a turn. I didn't have a lot of respect for Lewis in the past but he's showing more brains and learning to control his instincts. I value that, he was unbearable when starting his career. In this Silverstone occasion he needed to show Max that he can't get away with everything he tries on his opponents. He's not losing my respect for that. Max has been doing a lot to scare his rivals so he can get away with any risky overtake or action in the verge of unfair that he tries. That season McLaren wasn't fair with its pilots and Lewis was clearly favoured by Ron. Ok it was his playground...

I can't remember when Lewis threw Max to a wall that was as dangerous as being in the middle of the track on 3rd gear at a place that 320Km/h are reached. They've fought and they've been in the edge of cleanliness a few times, but I don't remember anything like this. That said none of them is a saint , were they, they'd be feeding starving children using all their millions.

Happy Birthday, Todd!!!

The issue is "some degree of hatred" Alonso vs Hamilton in McLaren was one of those moments, but nothing serious like yesterday happened. Schumacher was in a league of his own, I've never seen someone playing that dirty ever until yesterday, I'm guessing Lewis is a better driver than Jacques and was able to handle a couple of match balls that would have ended him with 0 points. IMHO pilots should antepose their competitors safety over their victory eagerness. Max isn't there yet.

Human nature. Looks like if we, humans, don't make it personal and develop some degree of hatred, there can't be a tight competition. We yesterday could see that on Dr Marko too, and I agree, it's very likely that Lewis would behave like that, although I seriously doubt he would have deliberately slowed his car down to 3rd gear in a narrow place where the expected speed is 320Km/h. That could have ended way worse than it did. I fear that Max will try by all means crashing on Lewis if his car can't outpace the Mercedes. The result next week

I've probably posted this before, but I love Presuntos Implicados, Randy Crawford and this tune

What a race!! Max has lost a lot of respect from me, he's a dirty player who seemed more interested in getting Lewis off the race track than in a clean win or a second place.

It's funny that Spain didn't even bother to blame anyone else

RIP Almudena Grandes. Died from cancer at 61. She was a writer that I enjoyed very much. She wrote a series of books named "the never ending war" from the losers of the Spanish Civil War point of view (that's communist, anarchists and democrats in general). She also wrote a couple of columns weekly in the newspaper I usually read in Spanish. Clever, kind and decent human being. I'll miss her writings a lot. Godspeed, Almudena

Enjoy the holiday. I'm wondering when will it be a festivity here, after all giving thanks is a nice practice.

My deepest condolences to you and your family, Steve. I'm glad he didn't suffer a painful agony, it's been fast. Hugs, mate, stay there for your mum.

What I hate most in such situations is the feeling of impotence, that being absolutely powerless. It's your mother who'll have the hardest hit. You're doing great being by her side as much as you can.

As you already know those aren't good news. Too many questions that a thoracic surgeon should answer to you. There should be a waiting list, I don't know how it works in the US with your health system. Best wishes.

Happy Birthday, Dinny!!! I hope life is treating you well.

Only if the alternative had been starting behind Lewis Interesting sprint race thanks to Lewis, Carlos and Sergio, Max didn't want to risk. Hopefully tomorrow it'll be a different story.
