After seeing it all, that was on Hamilton.

I wish NASCAR did stuff like this as far as candid communication. That was good

That’s on Hamilton, but in the end, a 5 second penalty won’t mean shite in this race…

They’re doing a great job of showing how Hamilton is to blame here. Max gives him space when he came along side.

I think it was a racing incident but this is why we can't have nice things.

Unfortunately this is true. The one rule I hate about F1 is being able to repair your car under a red flag.

You can say racing incident, but the Stewards have penalized 4-5 times the last two races and none of those ended like this.

frick Merc and Hamilton, if Lando was penalized twice for squeezing, this should be even more

They didn’t touch Max’s car because they were scared his ECU was hot.

Hamilton missed the apex because of the contact. And Max adjusted his steering slightly because he saw Hamilton alongside. So as they started turning in, they were almost completely alongside. Racing incident.

He wasn’t even close before the touch… he was squeezing out Max.

If you want to call it a racing incident, so be it, but when you have issued 5 penalties the last two weeks for the same thing, none ending in a wreck, then this has to be the same.

Everything is a racing incident. I don’t think Hamilton was being intentional about it but that was Verstappen’s corner and he knew that just like previous corners.

I agree 100%. Racing incident but the precedent has been set.

Part of the precedent unfortunately is that some teams get treated differently than others.
