There was a hullaballoo in the Brasilian GP, when Max rdfused to slow down to let his slower team mate overtake him and score an extra point.
He was of course, totally right not to do that because if Sergio wants the points, he’ll have to drive faster, or smarter. Either way, he must earn them.
Don’t defend him by saying that he helped Max win the championship. He deserves a tongue-lashing for that, because he cheated Max out of his championship. Thanks to Sergio the championships which he helped Max to win, are forever undecided. The jerk.
This harms formula one. People are not willing to cheer cheaters on (except if the cheaters are pro-wrestlers).
Seriously, this cheating may cause people to stop watching.
No team benefits from that. Actually, evrtyone loses. So the #FIA should ban cheating. (impossible to police, but we no longer want to see such embarassments as Bottas-Hamilton, Barrichello-Schumacher, Verstappen-Pérez).
Take a leaf from “the greatest driver to never win a championship”, #StirlingMoss. When he came second behind a faster driver (whose name escapes me, atm) and that driver was penalised by race control, for an alleged infraction, Stirling got awarded the race-win, and the championship, but he protested because he saw that his competitor did not make that boo-boo. He willingly sacrificed the win and the championship, knowing he did not earn those.
