This is the reason I've been happy to see them lose for so long. When things don't go their way they throw the toys out of the pram. Like back in 2015 where they actually stated they were entitled to win and threw the toys out of the pram with Renault. Although their having to crawl back to Renault afterwards was delightful I've never forgotten their arrogance and undeserved sense of entitlement.

I get your points here , but it did feel just a touch icky to me with them smiling and spraying so much on the podium with his main rival in hospital .
I get that it's his 8th home GP win and all , but it wasn't a great look .

I don't see the problem with the podium celebration. After all, it was a truly brilliant drive to recover from adversity. There was good cause for Mercedes and Hamilton to celebrate. Besides, it is not as if somebody died. It was a crash and Verstappen got out on his own steam. If he was stretchered out of the circuit, then l would agree with you that it was a poor showing.
We were regularly updated on Verstappen's condition. And it was well known that he was not injured but winded. So l don't see what the fuss is about.
I can see it was a very bitter pill for Verstappen and Horner. But they too would have done exactly the same thing if it was the other way round.
In fact, l distinctly remember Verstappen celebrating after he took out Hamilton's front wing which neutralized Hamilton's challenge for the race win at the start of the season. I also distinctly remember Verstappen being asked about the incident that resulted in Hamilton losing his front wing and him responding that he was not aware that it happened.
This is the way it is with racing drivers. They are happy when things go their way. They are bitter when it doesn'tLast edited by Nitrodaze; 19th July 2021 at 17:30.

At 19:15 Saturday, the FIA are announcing a new WRC event for 2025 at Sardegna. The event, I don't know - perhaps Paraguay.
