    Calling a driver a “fucking immature asshole” is not exactly a great contribution either and against this community’s rules (rule nr 1)

      I contributed my opinion, which included highlighting a long standing pattern of problematic behavior, and labeling that behavior with a well understood classification.

      To be clear, I respect Verstappen. Anyone with eyes and a brain has to. His talent is without question. But that (and rule 1) doesn’t make him immune to justifiable criticism.

      Perhaps “fucking immature asshole” oversteps the words of rule 1 if you squint hard enough, but I maintain that it doesn’t violate the spirit of it.
