Clearly not a brake check as Lewis was also slowing down well before the contact. That was more Schumacher\Coulthard at Spa.

But why was Lewis not just driving by?

He was timing his attack

That seems a stretch for me. But even if it’s true I hardly blame him. Max was trying his best to make the penalty meaningless, so why should Hamilton play along with someone trying to game the system. He should know because he did the same thing against Raikkonen all those years ago at Spa.

Can you blame Max for trying it either though? As you just said, Hamilton's done the same himself. Unless the FIA designate a zone somewhere around the lap where you have to give places back, the drivers are always going to try it on

Stop making sense. It used to be the job of the stewards to make sense, but this requirement was removed a while ago.

You have to do it so that it looks like a technical issue. Maybe the steering wheel will get loose at the start, which will lead to a collision. Or Perez "forgets" to brake and takes out everyone, including Lewis :whistling:

If there's one thing I could get rid of from F1, it's such enormous power disparities. It's just been a joke on part of the regulations that one team has had such a distinct power advantage for eight consecutive years.

I'm not supporting Max's driving and I feel Hamilton is way more of a sportier driver overall but I also look at the box Max is in and can't help but feel sorry for him. He's literally carrying that car on his back but then you have Hamilton as usual, literally cruising by on the straights. It's got to be a pathetic feeling if you're Max and I can understand wanting to fight against that handicap and going over the edge of sportsmanship, but like I said, I don't condone it.

I'm seriously scratching my head at the Sky pundits and Merc radio right now. "Lewis was confused" according to Damon Hill, "are we allowed to pass him?" asks Ron Meadows... did everyone get so used to VSCs that they forgot they're allowed to overtake without permission?

F1 is turning into a joke. Well it was a joke already after 1993.

I’ll be utterly disgusted if Lewis gets zero penalty for that moronic move. Not wanting to pass there is no valid reason

I doubt max could hold lewis off anyway but this whole situation feels like matchfixing inconsistentys in favor of mercedes.

It´s very obvious now after all incidents this weekend that Mercedes and Hamilton must win, it´s all fixed. How hamilton didn't have one penalty today I don't know. Driving into someone and causing a collision is a standard penalty, always. Except when it's Hamilton.

Masi/the stewards/race control/whoever's responsible for this shitshow is like a supply teacher who's lost control The dirty tactics started with Bottas hanging back behind Lewis under the SC, and it all descended from there

I have to say, Vettel and Ferrari were haning on in 2017 and 2018 but it always was an easy title for Hamilton, just because Vettel was too good. Max is a big racer, competitor , maybe sometimes over the line. Hadn't he been a bit dirty Lewis would already had the title.

plus, today it was clear that most of the drivers are unable to race in tracks without runoff areas, they turn into big time morons with no spatial awareness. this is the kind of race that should be under investigation

Yeah their reasoning is a bit baffling. There weren't any yellow flags out. What if Verstappen had a mechanical problem and slowed? Hamilton had ample room on the left to breeze past, as he should've done. The fact that he somehow managed to botch that up and hit the back of Verstappen, and then paint him as 100% the guilty party here, is typical Mercedes/Hamilton's victim mentality.

It's one of the biggest bloopers I ever saw actually what Hamilton did there, you overtake when a driver slows down. You don't need to ask for permission and then eventually hit the other car

- Hamilton not keeping 10 car lengths on the restart and passing Max easily - " the offer" was the most moronic thing in recent F1 history - Max pushing limits and Lewis all over - Hamilton "not recognising" Max had slowed down, yeah sure. What if he had a puncture or engine failure? He had 2 widths of a car on the left side - well deserved win at the end, that car is just unbreakable and much faster

The root cause of tonight's bullshit is unnecessary standing restarts. If the race had restarted properly, the initial off track pass wouldn't have happened.

and I'm quite sure the stewards will not issue any penalty after the race because in doing so they'll admit they did several wrongdoings during the race Is unbelievable
