After the crash, Max drove his car back to the pits shedding carbon and rubber around the circuit. Wasn't it very recently that a 3 place grid penalty next race was handed out for doing the same thing?
Perez was a clear retirement, there was no repair possible. The rear wing assembly could have fallen off. The only reason he brought the car back is the team told him to to avoid the possibility of a safety car.
As far as I know, Max only maybe had slight damage from the contact, plus the loose tire, drivers regularly drive back to the pits in this configuration. They don't usually keep racing/defending with a flat tire though.
So you think Perez knew how bad the car was damaged, whereas Max knew it might be slight damage even though he was on three wheels? Quite a take. I also have to point out that Perez's wing didn't fall off on track, but Max left crap through several turns. But, there's always an excuse when it comes to Max.
"But, there's always an excuse to shit on Max when it comes to Max."
There, fixed it for you. I get it, you are not a fan of Max but please stop inventing.
Max is such an abused guy, isn't he? I'm not inventing anything, and certainly not an excuse unlike you.
Sure. You do you. Have a great day.
