I remember a couple years ago Hamilton started 20th in a sprint race and ended in 5th.

Max is such a little ***** … post-race, George apologizes for their brush-up and Max loses it on him
George had no grip and hit him putting a hole in his car, not hard to see why he's upset.
I get that’s the easy way to justify the way Max acts but it’s an incident on what, the 2nd turn of lap one? The issue is that Max acts entitled to having everyone else let him have his way. Any racing incident he cries like a petulant child. The whole point is to race! But I guess he’d prefer everyone letting him through.
I don't think how he acted was appropriate, but emotions are high. George crashed Bottas at Imola 2 years ago and then took a swipe at him. George put his car through Max's sidepod and cost him a chance at the sprint win, that's cool that he apologizes or whatever but it still happened.
I guess my larger point is that it happens in racing. Anytime something happens to him, it’s the end of the world and everyone else is incompetent. He wouldn’t hesitate to be just as aggressive if he weren’t in a car that was light years ahead of the rest of the field
And people should and do call him out for it, George doesn’t get a pass because it was max that he crashed into.
Nobody said George got a pass. He admitted fault, and tried to apologize for it. What else is he supposed to do?
Since George was at fault it shouldn’t be surprising that max was pissed. Him apologizing is a good look for him, but he was still in the wrong and max was rightfully upset.
Not sure George was too apologetic and honestly don’t think he needed to be. It was corner 2 of the race. Max knew the risk of leaving his car there, and what does George have to lose? Also Max had a major car advantage, just let him go and get him down the main straight with your DRS advantage. It just shows Max’s character that he couldn’t see any part of his own decision making being wrong there.
That wasn’t George’s fault, or Max’s really either. George had the line so there’s no reason for him to back out and Max knew it was a risk to keep fighting him for it. Definition of a “racing incident” IMO.
Max being indignant like that after the race is ridiculous, he’s been on the other side of it countless times, but that’s just the way he is.

Agreed. Just finished watching the race and that end was absolutely crazy. Someone could have gotten seriously hurt.
That was really close to being really bad.
Big week for Perez, looks like he has a legit shot to push Max pretty hard this year.
Wonder how long Red Bull will allow that to happen? Think Horner loves Max more than his own kids.
Once RB have a hood gap to the field in the constructors. Check’s car will no longer be as drivable as Max’s. Only way he stays in it is if another team can push RB to the finish and I don’t see that happening.
