Your first paragraph is exactly what I've just sadi about the driver meetings and the relationships the drivers have with one another off of the racetrack. Also you and I don't know if they've spoken or not behind closed doors but because ay discussion they may have had wasn't posted on social media or seen on live TV you all assume Max is the big bad wolf.

Nobody stopped to check Grosjean was ok after his car was sliced in half and burst into a ball of flames. Nobody stopped and went to check on Jules Bianchi when he spun off and hit that tractor. Why? Because a race track isn't a place to be hanging around when your outside of the car. Could Max have stuck his head in and asked if he was ok? Probably yes. Is he a villain because he walked away from two potentially 'live' cars piled up at a chicane where drivers are braking from 100+mph with adrenaline running through both driver's veins? No.

Max has been punished rightly or wrongly. Line drawn under it. It won't be the last time both driver's are in accidents. They'll both move on and continue this great rivalry which has been superb for the sport this season.

Nobody stopped for Grosjean or Bianchi because the red flags were out and the cars went back to the pits and stopping was not an option. Totally different, and not comparable, and I don't see the relevance.

Verstappen got out of his car, wandered around in the middle of the live race track past the Mercedes with Hamilton still inside the car. Perhaps he was in shock at the time, but it was a very weird thing to do.

I think it's been covered already, Lewis was revving his engine and trying to reverse his car.

Not really an excuse for either Max not checking on him nor Max walking onto a live track. Whether he was in shock or l, more likely, in a rage he didn't act right there.

I also find the reason Red Bull didn't try and blame Lewis, which I fully expected them to do: Max did exactly the same thing Lewis did. In the sprint race on the first lap he pushes Ricciardo off onto the sausage kerbs.

Penalty rightly deserved… should have been a five place grid drop. Got off lightly in the circumstances.

Lets see if Red Bull and Crashtappen replace the power unit in the next race seen as though they’re hit with a penalthy as it is.

There you are, Monza penalty negated with Red Bull replacing the power unit this weekend at Sochi which he had to do at some point anyhow… like i said he knew what he was doing at Monza wiping Lewis out.

Rain possible too, so with potential safety cars he could right up there if it goes his way. The rules around when post race penalties are served are stupid, teams just negate them.
