Roger Franco+FollowIs Mad Max Getting Special Treatment?Anyone else feel like Mad Max’s latest run-in with George Russell in Barcelona was swept under the rug? After intentionally hitting Russell, Verstappen only got a 10-second penalty and a few more points on his license. Meanwhile, other drivers get harsher punishments for less. Has the FIA gone soft on the champ, or is this just how things go when you’re the face of F1? Curious to see if the Macau conference actually addresses this double standard. #F1 #Verstappen #FIA #Sports #Racing20Share
Roger Franco+FollowMcLaren Cleared! FIA Ruling Shakes Up F1Big news from the paddock: after all the drama post-Miami GP, the FIA has officially cleared McLaren’s rear brake system. Rivals like Red Bull were suspicious after spotting cold spots in thermal images, but the governing body found nothing illegal. This verdict means the Papaya squad can focus on chasing down the Bulls and Prancing Horses without distraction. Do you think this will give McLaren the boost they need heading into Imola? #F1 #McLaren #FIA #MiamiGP #EmiliaRomagnaGP #Formula1 #Sports179Share
qglover+FollowMad Max Cleared After Miami Stewards DramaWild scenes in Miami as the stewards summoned Super Max after Sprint Quali for allegedly driving too slow between the Safety Car lines. Turns out, it was a Red Bull tech glitch showing the wrong delta—so Max was six seconds off the pace, but not on purpose. The FIA let Max off with no penalty, just a team reprimand. Some, like Stroll, weren’t happy, saying it cost them time. Was this just a racing quirk or did Red Bull get lucky? #F1 #MiamiGP #Verstappen #RedBullRacing #FIA #Sports100Share
Roger Franco+FollowRed Bull Backs Down on Max’s Saudi PenaltyLooks like Red Bull won’t be taking Max’s Saudi GP penalty any further, even though the team and Mad Max himself felt he was forced wide by Piastri. The five-second hit cost Verstappen big in his battle with the rookie, but Horner says appealing is pointless since the stewards are sticking to their guns. The FIA clarified Piastri had the corner, so Max had to give space. Do you think Red Bull should’ve pushed harder, or was this just racing? #F1 #RedBullRacing #Verstappen #SaudiArabianGP #OscarPiastri #FIA #Sports90Share
