We said is Mad Max back? and Barcelona said: kinda… but not in a good way.

Max Verstappen collided with George Russell (because of course he did), picked up a 10-second penalty, and is now one penalty point away from a race ban. Mad Max energy? Activated. Controlled aggression? Left the group chat.

Meanwhile, Charles Leclerc dragged what is basically a tractor to yet another podium, Ferrari is somehow P2 in the Constructors', and no one — including us — understands how. Oh, and Lewis Hamilton got passed by a Sauber. Yes. A Sauber. 2025 is really fighting for its life.

We break down the chaos, the penalties, the midfield madness, and ask the real questions:

    •    Is Max spiraling or just playing F1 on hard mode?

    •    How is Ferrari still winning in the spreadsheet but losing on track?

    •    Are Sauber cooking... or was this just a glitch in the matrix?

🗣 Sound off in the comments: Was Max’s move on George reckless or just racing? And how on earth is Charles still putting that car on the podium??

🎙️ As always, welcome back to the derbifref: messy, mildly informed, and aggressively passionate.
