If Max listened to some of the advice on here then he'd only have half the points he has now at this stage, what you fail to take on board f87 is that you cannot change a persons character and remember where the rest are...nowhere.

Thats rubbish though isn't it, Lewis often went for things that weren't on early in his career but change and evolved to go for the right moves most of the time. Yes he like other drives are human and can and do get things wrong but that is far less today than when he started racing.
Max on the other hand has been in more bad and dangerous situations this year than ever before. Maybe the team have given him unrealistic expectations on him that has applied pressure that makes the bad judgements.
Look at when he tagged Ocon in Brazil years ago as a back marker. He had lots to lose but his brain wouldn't let him, but to be the best it needs to.
To win you have to finish, you can be amazing but if you don't cross the line it doesn't matter a jot. Max could have won now if he had backed out of the Silverstone incident, exactly as Leclerc did in an IDENTICAL overtake but he didn't.
So we go into the final race, nobody quite clear what is or isn't allowed but its quite clear Max will try anything under the son to do 'Whatever it take regardless of the rules to win'.
And that is why many love him but also why neutrals and fans of other drives think he doesn't deserve to be winner because of the way he drives.
