He does seem fast, at least compared with Perez (the only valid benchmark this season) but Perez is certainly a bit of a journeyman and RBR are definitely backing their strongest contender completely so I'm sure it's not even a perfectly level playing field. I doubt that in "equal" equipment he would be made to look quite so hot by the likes of LeClerc, Sainz, Norris, Hamilton, Russell, Ricciardo, Alonso.
Ultimately RBR have put their car at the front, not Max, and Max is cracking under the massive pressure to deliver what might the only opportunity of his career, no guarantees for the future (ask Fernando, post-Renault).

And judging from the shots in the garage yesterday, his dad is as good at wearing a mask as he was at driving

I don't think Lewis would have hit Verstappen had Verstappen not braked hard. I just think Max had a red mist moment as he thought Hamilton wasn't going to pass him before the DRS detection line. The stewards saw it as a clear-cut infringement although Marko disagrees.

and he the physically assaulted the other driver at the weigh in
And could it have ended any better - both cockroaches equal on points to finally settle the battle at Yas.
Let's hope no one gets seriously hurt - the last thing we need is these morons becoming some sort of martyrs.

Max is dangerous, because he plays by different rules than the rest and he literally is saying let me through or we're both out of the race.

Masi wasn't in control. Which race director says to a team whose driver has broken a rule "alright, we'll give you the opportunity to restart the race behind Hamilton, or we will take it to the stewards"? No, YOU are the race director, YOU dictate the rules. Pathetic.
Yes, Max violated the rules into turn 1 twice and evidently braked too hard in order to get behind Hamilton so he could get DRS, for which he got penalized too.
But Mercedes and Hamilton were just plain unsportive as well, with Bottas deliberately slowing down during the virtual safety car, and Hamilton pushing Max off the track after overtaking him. If one gets penalized for one thing, why not penalize the other for doing a similar thing? It just baffles me.
And, I do feel that this track didn't provide a good opportunity for these fast cars to overtake into corners. It just looks far too narrow and the slower corners are too tight. Especially the first corner was always going to be a mess. All these new Tilke tracks with tarmac run-off areas just kill the racing, because drivers know they wont get stuck in gravel traps etc. Bring back the old circuits!

Hakkinen was always good - certainly compared to Schumi
I agree, Hakkinen was pretty decent. Did Raikkonen play dirty? I'll miss him, F1 needs more characters like Raikkonen.
