Something tells me the Verstappen footage may indeed be at the bottom of a lake

In fairness I think everything and everyone might be en route to Qatar at the moment.Something tells me the Verstappen footage may indeed be at the bottom of a lake

They've not had any trouble tweeting footage from any other car.
If they don't have it then they should say so with an explanation as to why. The radio silence makes it all look suspicious.

Reminds me of all that bull**** from Benneton when they had Schumacher on board with Briatore pulling the strings!

I like Max and think he's got pure talent - I just hate the win at all costs... I know he is obviously a racing driver... but it's really really dangerous sometimes.... it will end in total disaster one day
When himself and Lewis went off - he took that corner fine 69 times out of 70, yet when Lewis was challenging look what happens

Standard five place grid drop for the next race then..................
Is it a reputable Twitter account?
I think Qatar is a Moto GP circuit isn't it? So it might not be very wide for overtaking.

Not sure someone posted the photo on Twitter
would they give a restrospective 5 second penalty dropping him down to 3rd

Jensen Button has commented on it with quotes from Massi. Might be something in it.

I suppose Lewis would have won anyway so a grid penalty at the next race would probably suit Mercedes better?

If Verstappen is shown to have turned into Hamilton then I suspect a much greater penalty will be considered.
This whole thing is starting to become silly, they must have the footage by now and are sitting on it as they know it will cause an uproar.

Yeah I heard that, when he was in know way going to catch Max. They obviously wanted the gap closing hoping a retrospective penalty would be on the way.
It's a simple thing though: Just show us the onboard footage. If Max steers right he tried to run Lewis off the road, if he doesn't then he'd lost control because of a tight corner entry and no harm no foul. Until we see the footage though, it's mega suspicious that he should run so wide, unless he was trying to hit Lewis

Red Bull are the kings of presenting "evidence" to the FIA at opportune moments. I wonder if Merc have managed to acquire the in car footage and are waiting for an opportune moment to give it to the FIA?
That would be quiet funny.

I wonder if there will be an Albon-esque re-enactment with Vandoorne and De Vries running each other into the grass?

It
depends, is it better to shorter the deficit now and back your pace knowing that max will probably finish 2nd anyway even with a grid penalty

Or get Bottas to run him off into the grass and say, "Oh sorry, we thought that was cool now".
