I've also heard there's often truth to the phrase "like father like son" and this does sound like something a Verstappen might say or do.

See, there it is again. The perceived notion that Max will actually drive into George because...reasons I choose to believe.

Max has proven time and time again he is his own man, he does not mimic nor represent his father's behaviors. Based on a 'hunch' and your idea that 'like father like son' is in play here, you actually just communicated you can see Max driving into George and possibly kill or harm him in the process.

Do you now see and realize what George is doing and trying to achieve? He is banking on your idea of Max being who you believe him to be.

George is more of a sneak and devious guy then many would believe. And again, if I have to take the word of George or Max, I will absolutely believe Max due to the fact that the man has always, always, told you what he thinks and how he sees the sport. George on the other hand is trying to paint a picture of himself and in doing so he comes off as untrustworthy and a bit a of a liar. I do not believe he is as honest in public as private.

He's proven he will drive anyone off the road whether he makes the corner or not. The wall being there is just the next step.

Edit to say I'm not a fan of George, or whining on the radio, or whining about what happens with the stewards. Take your millions of dollars a year and grow up.
