Don’t see how they can find anyone at fault for that one…

Think it was racing incident.. Hamilton didn't give him any room and just crazy how he popped up on that curb

Perez been salty lately. Didn't think he had a good spot to give back the spot though

He didn't pop from the curb. Hamilton's right rear tire popped Max's vehicle up and over (tire to tire). You can see it happen in the super slow mo when the are showing Max's chassis and tire come down on the HALO and Lewis' helmet

I'm neutral on the accident. It happens when you race. I'm just happy for the drama.

I think everybody agrees it's a racing incident, both title rivals going for the gap; 50/50 blame, at worst 55/45. Toto seems pissed because Monza setup much better for Merc to take points off of RBR, and the damage was limited.

Think Lewis forced him into the sausage curbs. Max was deep into the turn at that point and bounced around. At that point as Lewis was squeezing him off they caught tires.

Once again I do think it's a racing incident. Lewis could not have known that would happened

Lewis summed it up by bringing up turn 4 on the 1st lap. Max had two choices just like Lewis had. Max chose not to go over the kerbs.

Without a doubt Max played it hard because he knew that was his race.

No, I think the old roll bar would have held up. It's not like that's never happened before.



I guess we'll agree to disagree. I think it saved his life. It looks like Max's tire would have put Hamilton's head into his lap.

I know Max's other tire was spinning at some point as well.

Lewis making sure people see the tape on his sore neck.

I'm a little surprised Mercedes is pressing the issue. Especially after Silverstone.

I think both guys were thinking the same thing. "I"m pushing this guy off track" while also thinking "He's not pushing me off track". They were always going to touch, it was just unfortunate that they touched in such a way to send Max airborne.

Silverstone just cemented both of their attitudes. 100% commitment from now on, no yielding. This won't be the last time they clash this year.

Max just got a 3 place grid penalty for the Russian GP.

Three place grid penalty for....

bullshite penalty. Might be all for nothing if he was going to start at the back with an engine penalty.

Wonder what the telemetry showed.

Wow, that is pretty condemning on Max.

Their view that Hamilton was on an avoiding line shut down Max's argument. Them deciding he "braked late" is disingenuous.

Was it 10 seconds and he was way in the lead? Don't remember. I knew it didn't affect the next race.
