Lewis Hamilton said that his pass to Charles Leclerc on Copse won him the British Grand Prix, which showed how successful his first lap action on Max Verstappen should be.

Advertising | Becoming a supporter and no advertising interfered with Verstappen and Hamilton on the same corner of the first lap, entangled in the Red Bull, crashing into an obstacle at high speed. The Mercedes driver was penalized for 10 seconds for a collision. He served in the game, but he was able to catch up and overtake Leclerc to win.

In the sprint qualifying the previous day, Hamilton tried to overtake Verstappen at the same corner, but was unsuccessful, and said that when they went to Cops again today, he had been thinking about it.

"We are off to a good start and I am catching up with Max, just like yesterday," he explained. "Obviously, I got into six [Brookland] with him, but I have to admit. Then I got a good traction to nine [Copse].

"Yesterday I came down from the left hand side and I really regret not going to the gap on the right hand side. So I pretended to be him, moved to the left, and then moved to the right to make up the gap. I was far away from him, but I can see He won't back up. We walked to the corner and collided.

"Of course, this was never the way I wanted to win the game, or just want to participate in the game, but these things did happen. I just hope he is okay, I look forward to more games."

Verstappen was taken to the medical center and then taken to the hospital for preventive examinations. Hamilton said he planned to check his opponent.

"I heard that Max was hospitalized, which absolutely worries me. None of us want any of us to be injured. That was never my intention. I really hope he is okay. After this I will beat him, just To check if he is okay.

"We live to fight for another day. We will still have a lot of difficult games and we must learn to strike some balance."

Hamilton said that his victory "does not feel hollow." Hamilton rejected Red Bull captain Christian Horner's criticism of his podium celebration and denied that he had achieved an "empty" victory.

"I really have nothing to say to Christian. It doesn't feel hollow. There are 2,000 people in my team working very hard-it's naturally not just about me.

"I have said that this is not anything I wish to happen in the game. I think it is important for all of us to take a step back. I am sure the mood is high there and I know what it feels like to lose points and be in that position on the team. , So I don’t feel anything about it."

The steward believed that Hamilton was primarily responsible for the collision. "I don't agree with the butler," he said, "but I accepted the chin punishment and continued my work.

"I won't complain about it. Everyone has a different opinion, and I don't particularly care about what people think."

Hamilton believes that both drivers are partly responsible for the collision. "I think we should grow and learn from these experiences.

"It is rare for an incident to be 100% to someone's fault. It is always mixed because it is obviously two or more people. So I think there are things that we can all learn from.

"I want to say that Max is probably one of the most aggressive drivers here, personally. Of course, he did a good job. But I think we have to really try to find the best balance. We can always be on the track. Maintain space and respect for each other so that we can continue to play and have a good game without collision."

The collision between Hamilton and Verstappen at the start was a stark contrast to Hamilton's move against Leclerc at the same corner, who had three laps left. The Ferrari driver ran a long way while trying to keep Hamilton behind.

"He is very respectful in leaving the gap," Hamilton said. "I must be somewhere by his side, he knew I was there, but he was still determined, just made a wider line and he almost kept it. It was a great game.

"For me, at that moment, I backed down, just to make sure we didn't get together. But I think it's just a very good balance, and I think this is how the game should go.

"Of course, in a perfect world, this is what happens on the first try. But at different times, at different locations, with different drivers."

This is getting more and more farce. You were punished for this Lewis. Fortunately, you still win. madman.

The world has recorded your opinion. Let others express themselves, we all know what you have to say next.

Some opinions are right, and some are wrong.

Those who "hold a point of view" that the earth is flat are wrong.

The person who thinks Verstappen is responsible for the accident is wrong.

This is what happens when a driver is religious, just like Hamilton. Hamilton may participate in the 1990 Suzuka race, and his fans will still find ways to blame other drivers.

Hamilton fans may be the most delusional and poisonous fans in any sport. I really don't think Hamilton will be hated a little bit like him, if his fans know how to behave.

@kingshark They think the world seems to revolve around Hamilton, and even create an intertwined narrative like Perez is a bad driver (not too good for him, but not far from Bottas), which in turn will make Red Bull Become the most dominant machine this season, and then proved that their idol surpassed the "struggling" Mercedes. And they imagined Bottas vigorously promote Hamilton as a teammate. At the same time, they said that Red Bull cars are only made for Max and no one in the team is allowed to race with him (again, Bottas never sacrificed to benefit Hamilton). Nevertheless, in the recent past, they also pretended that Vettel/Ferrari's performance in the 2018-19 season did not decline, but they were actually terrible opponents in the championship battle. All the false supporting narratives of the false big shots that Hami is some kind of god on earth that no one can approach, not even Alonso, let alone Verstappen (two people who actually perform better than him now, Max, but even more Fernando taught him how to have racing expertise, consistency and how to get the best performance from the car when it matters most).

This picture is worth 1000 words: https://jmp.sh/ZIOVMsZ Just look at Lewis' position in these two situations and you will get the answer. (If anything, Max gives more space than Leclerc).

The best comparison photo shows that the butler is right, but we all made mistakes.

Yes. In this picture, you can clearly see that Hamilton has left more room for Leclerc than Verstappen. You can also see Leclerc following his route, and Verstappen turned right when he changed lanes in Hamilton.

https://imgur.com/a/NInVRVY

There is a better compound shot here, and the maximum trajectory of the two drivers must also be aimed at slamming the corner of the door. Yes, Hamilton ran wider than Leclerc's pass, but both drivers were playing chicken and no one blinked. By the time the collision happened, Ham was in a blind spot, so Max was taking a risk. This may happen if Ham suddenly understeer/oversteer in the middle corner. Max also put his car in a rather dangerous position. Not his fault, but high risk

Some opinions are right, and some are wrong.

Those who "hold a point of view" that the earth is flat are wrong.

The person who thinks Hamilton is responsible for the accident is wrong.

This happens when the driver has religious beliefs, just like Verstappen. Verstappen may participate in the 1990 Suzuka race, and his fans will still find ways to blame other drivers.

Verstappen fans may be the most delusional and toxic fan base in any sport. I really think that if his fans know how to behave themselves, Verstappen will not be a small part of hatred like him.

Look? It works both ways, doesn't it?

Not really. The earth is still a sphere, and Lewis is wrong. This is Lewis' rookie mistake. One of many mistakes this season.

erikje This season, Lewis ran into trouble in 5 out of 10 games (including the last one he caused the final damage and gave most of the trouble to Max). He damaged his car during the match between Austria and Monaco, incorrectly activated the brake magic button in Baku, and hit a wall in Imola (his safety car miracle this season has happened twice) of course. Yesterday, what people will remember for a long time is not the brilliant victory of GOAT at home, but a controversial and lack of sportsmanship. Do you know anyone who currently holds the record of costly accidents this season? Kakuda. Use with Mazepin. This season Lewis seems to have returned to his 2011 rookie mode. Although he is obviously much faster than the above mentioned, and the quality and speed of the game are much better, but he is not better than this year's rookie. The theme is consistency and reliability. Too many ups and downs, the brilliance of a multi-world champion is full of unexplainable errors. I know this truth is difficult to digest, but this is just statistics. All these incidents cannot be erased, no matter how hard the delusional Lewis fans work hard.

The administrator has a lot of data, videos from different angles, car telemetry, and other information that we don’t know. They made a wise decision about this. Of course, depending on the angle they show us on TV or the people you support, sometimes they may look a little harsh and sometimes a little lenient, but let's face reality and the decision will be "roughly right." The team principle always complains and strives to create the best state for their team, that is their job. It seems that many people here make brief judgments and statements based on trivial information, and then pretend that they are facts? These are just opinions. No matter who you support, I think we all agree that many people who hate Hamilton may just be racists. Some people are just so ignorant and stupid, I guess a lot of opinions about this are driven by that, and it is used as a catalyst/excus to "try" him. I am white, just in case you think I am "playing racing". Despite this, Hamilton once again showed professionalism and sympathy (asking immediately if Max was okay) and in his answer was polite and heroic, and most importantly still said everything he needed to say on the track. If you want to see the facts, please watch every game where Lewis and Max have fought any battle, and see the number of concessions each driver side by side by percentage. I'm glad to see your comments afterwards. Stato.

The fact is that the earth is flat. The earth is spherical. This is in one's reality and definite point of view. Hamilton has played an excellent role on Max in the past by creating gaps or avoiding collisions. The day he decided to stand firm, he was settled.

The man in front stood firm. There will definitely be a collision behind you. Ham clearly wants to drive Ver out of Max's racing line. This is not the driver's fault: the ham move is obviously intentional: risk/reward: the largest rear tire is just a small bump...full speed is fine. Advertising did it. He could have killed him.

Adam Hardwick (@fluxsource) July 19, 2021, 13:09

@kingshark What a weird analogy choice. There is a lot of evidence that ultimately shows that the earth is not flat. It is a physical property of the planet. In contrast, the allocation of "blame" is just an opinion by definition. The first is provable, and the second is judgment.

Green Flag (@greenflag) July 18, 2021, 21:08

The opening lap is what the car should be like. Neither driver gave in. Max's aggression satisfied Lewis's determination. Someone has to lose.

"Neither driver gave in." Max gave Lewis at least 60 inches to his right.

Unfortunately, Max Lewis was never a fair and proper racer. This fact was overshadowed by the fact that Lewis had such a dominant car in the past 7 years. He didn’t need anyone to ban his incompetent teammates from doing proper racing. the match of.

John H (@john-h) July 18, 2021, 22:15

Nicky, you will hurt yourself by saying these things. As we all know, Hamilton is a hard-working but fair racer, especially in the 17-18 season of Vettel. The fact that you fabricated these things does not help your argument, in this case I actually agree (Hamilton blame).

Why is everything so divided and full of lies now?

Now he will no longer be called fair...

@john-h "especially during the 17-18 years of Vettel", haha, this is the only part of his career. Want to talk about the latest situation from 2007-2014 and the end of 2018? This guy is a well-known saboteur and a recognized loser.

You literally destroyed your own argument.

Mystery One (@mysticus) July 19, 2021, 1:13

"This guy is a well-known saboteur and a recognized loser." Have you been looking in the mirror for too long?

@john-h Why is everything so divided and full of lies now?

Unfortunately, when RF pays for most of the content, they get a lot of garbage from other sites.

John H (@john-h) July 19, 2021, 6:16

This is true @jureo!

John H (@john-h) July 19, 2021, 7:41

@braketurnaccelerate I want to know what it is lately, but now you mention it makes sense. Obviously I am "ruined by my own arguments" here, haha.

@Niki101 "[sic] against Max Lewis has never been a fair and proper racer"

Therefore, we will completely ignore Hamilton's "fair and appropriate", in order to avoid a collision with Verstappen in Imola, we will go off track, right? In order to avoid a collision in Barcelona, ​​we will completely ignore Hamilton's "fair and appropriate" and give up the first corner to Verstappen, right?

But Hamilton said for the first time, "I'm sorry, Max, this time I won't turn over for you." He suddenly "has never been a fair and proper racer."

I think you are a bit dishonest here, don't you?

It seems that people have problems with Max surpassing Lewis, when he was really “at least halfway next to) Imola, Spain, Portugal and Silverstone, they felt that after four times, he won regardless of his position. Corner kick.'Max is coming'.

Lewis put it on his chin and killed his opponent. It took 10 seconds to win the game... His fan base is very happy, Max will come anyway...

The main problem is that punishment is not suitable for crime. Lewis thinks that there is no reason to stop... He wants to succeed at all costs... "At all costs" is a punishment of 10 seconds.

He still has 4 cars wide to drive on his left so that he doesn't slam the door when Ham is in his blind spot.

Mercedes' blind spot in Red Bull? This means that Mercedes is behind. Mercedes was 100% wrong.

Yes, this is the best game we have seen on the front line throughout the season.

Mike D (@mikeyhd70) July 19, 2021, 0:02

This is the correct explanation.

Mystery One (@mysticus) July 19, 2021, 1:11

@greenflag The unstoppable force finally encountered an immovable object :)

This is "given" by the FIA. Not sure how many people here understand your comment, @mysticus, and my response to it.

Arnoud van Houwelingen (@kavu) July 18, 2021, 21:59

To be precise... looking back at the pass... with Leclerc, he was at the top and made a tighter corner. When using the Max, he missed the 1 meter apex and oversteered into the Max at a speed of 300 miles per hour.

He can only slow down. On the contrary, he is just like on the track.

Before the game, they had already shown some cuts from the past, especially Senna and Prost in 1993. Take a look at X4qGYaFw0y4-this is how it is made. If you do not enter the corner, you will push to rest. Don't enter your opponent directly, as if they don't exist.

If I were Horner, if something happened, I would tell Perez to take HAM to a safe area. Emphasize safety.

If I were Perez, I would watch the door hit, and then record every conversation with every member of the Red Bull team again, because if I deliberately crashed for my team, they now have my soul. As far as I know, they know that Piquet Jr. was eliminated from the sport as the crasher. All other related personnel returned safely, and Piquet was burned. So yes, if you are Horner, you may ask me to cheat for you, if I am Perez, you just make sure that everything you say in my ear is provided to the FIA, in some cases Next, the opponent's team, secretly.

will. This is the floodgate of ham. Right in front of you. No need for Perez. Toto said recently: They are just the maximum dnf distance... Coincidence?

Lewis has no talents there. There are some real British bias comments on these forums...blessings

Fans are not boys. (@peartree) July 18, 2021, 23:36

Someone should brief Hamm. He hit someone for victory and gave him a 51g crash, but still felt wronged by the penalty kick. He didn't suffer any harm, so no matter what happened afterwards, Ham and Merc must feel lucky for it. embarrassment.

You are right... You should be embarrassed. Even Christian called Hamilton 8 times champion...haha. He has given up.

Verstappen ran past Hamilton’s car, instead of Hamilton keeping his car on a straight road, Verstappen turned his wheel to Hamilton’s road

Keep the car going straight when turning right... Yes, Hamilton kept a straight line and caused the collision.

Most fans of dbHenry have not even read the butler’s description of the incident, let alone revisited the scene several times. They are dogmatically trying to find any excuses to clear up Lewis' accusation of the incident.

Max and Lewis caused his collapse. Lewis was not punished. Aston Martin team leader Otmar Szafnauer agreed with the British driver, insisting that he believed the accident was an obvious racing accident. "I've seen it a few times now, and for me, if it's not a racing event, it's nothing," he told Sky Sports. "For the benefit of fans, we often talk about allowing drivers to race in the first few laps. I think this is what happened there. "For me, it's 50-50. "Max didn't have to hand it in when he turned it in. Lewis could have done it more correctly, but for me, it was 100% a racing accident."

Do I see different races? :D

Barry Bens (@barryfromdownunder) July 18, 2021, 20:53

Szafnauer is not known for his common sense. He also kept saying that they did not copy Mercedes last year. In this regard, he and the other captains are in good tune! :^)

F1oSaurus (@f1osaurus) July 18, 2021, 21:26

@barryfromdownunder He never said that they don't copy Mercedes, he made it clear that they legally copied the parts they were allowed to copy and reverse engineered the rest. The only penalty for them is that they are not allowed to use ONE parts that they purchased but have not been used in 2020.

@f1osaurus He did say that they did not copy Mercedes and touted his team’s ability to reverse-engineer an F1 car, which was counterproductive this year, because they couldn’t do the slightest amount of space as Mercedes did. They reacted to the rule changes because they didn't understand Mercedes' low-forward car concept at all.

F1oSaurus (@f1osaurus) July 18, 2021, 21:39

@tifoso1989 You can continue to show your ignorance about this, but he is not saying that he did not illegally copy the listed parts. In their view, they did not do this, but due to technical considerations, they did not run a part in 2019. If they used that part in 2019, they would receive 0 penalty points.

@f1osaurus You can't disappoint! Even by bad standards, you will continue to hit new lows.

F1oSaurus (@f1osaurus) July 18, 2021, 22:13

@tifoso1989 Sorry, you let me down by venting your ignorance over and over again. Especially because I have provided you with facts many times.

The difference you need to learn to make is that many parts can be simply copied. The bodywork used by Racing Point is not one of them. They can prove to the FIA ​​that they don't.

Only one brake tube bought in 2019 will be useless in 2019 and will not be allowed in 2020.

Sadly, you never want to truly understand and continue to lie.

James Bluto (@blutto) July 18, 2021, 20:53

In case you didn't realize it, behind the Aston Martin is a Mercedes engine. With this in mind, what do you want Otmar Safnauer to say?

So we can ignore everything Max and Horner said? If so, can we stop repeating his apparently false attention to the Lewis celebration?

So, they ask people who buy things from Mercedes? ! ? Then, objectivity was seriously questioned.

The reality is that everyone else I heard on the radio agreed that this was a racing incident, even those who attribute more/most of the blame to Hamilton. The case is open and the case is closed. This is far from shocking. In the end, Max didn’t have to push Hamilton so close to the wall to narrow his angle to that corner. Max knew that he would make Lewis exit and move faster when Lewis was obviously coming. Then Max He actively turned around when he could have left more space, but he would be surpassed, which was unacceptable to him. He left no more room. He turned to the right, which was obvious when the board was loaded. He paid the price for it. Finish.

"The butler reviewed the video and telemetry evidence," the butler said. "The 33rd [Verstappen] and 44 [Hamilton] entered the 9th turn, the 33rd car took the lead, and the 44th car was slightly behind and on the inside.

"Car No. 44 is on a line that does not reach the vertex of the corner, and there is free space inside.

"When car No. 33 turned, car No. 44 did not avoid contact, and the front left part of car No. 44 touched the rear right part of car No. 33. It was judged that car No. 44 was mainly faulty."

Oh wait, the overly aggressive Lewis saw the red fog and drove into Max.

"Hamilton did exactly the same to Leclerc." Yes, Leclerc even came up with this before the game: he noticed how Max gave Lewis enough space, but Lewis tried desperately to still hit Max, which is why he gave Lewis Some extra space.

Lewis was exposed as an overrated champion known to most people. Today, his actions in the Red Mist and subsequent despicable behaviors revealed his true colors.

You quoted Ultramar...yes, just...

indeed. Both Max and Charles lead the corners and have the right to follow the racing line. If Charles chooses the line he has the right to use, he will also suffer from 51G-or even worse!

This must stop. The title cannot be determined by such an event. I only hope that Max can beat Lewis fairly and fairly, not give him his own medicine.

Yes, someone needs to take Lewis aside and tell him he is going very far now. First it was Albon twice, now it is Max. He is lost, I have seen him all the time. An insecure little guy would take this behavior. Toto is responsible here not only to use the damaged mijd, but also to guide it

I have watched enough F1 races and know that cars in the inner lane have an advantage even if they are slightly behind. Max should know that Lewis is there. Lewis knew that Max was there because he tried to overtake by forcing Max to defend the left to create space on the right. In this case, the probability of a crash is always 75%, depending on other factors. In this case, Max wants to defend the right road and Hamilton wants to continue his pursuit. The 25% chance of not having a collision depends entirely on the driver. As Leclerc and Lewis saw. Lewis's decision to hold on to the ground this time should not be regarded as a collision between Lewis and Max or that Max was defending his position causing a crash. This is a racing incident. Lewis is lucky because of his position and possible grip on the track. Both drivers shall bear the responsibility for not avoiding the collision.

The key word here is the main one. This means >/=51% errors. It does not mean that max is over-squeezed to cause it. Same as Perez's last game. Leclerc was very aggressively trying to push him outside and got himself into an accident. Although it would not be his fault, it was still risky. It's like a car that suddenly brakes and rear-ends. Unless you can prove malice, the person behind is always at fault, but if the driver brakes hard for no reason, he is also responsible for hitting 2.

So Verstappen should leave the track, and Hamilton is entitled to 100% of the track width?

Well, this is exactly what Verstappen did to Hamilton in Imola and Barcelona.

You don't know how to play the "One Rule of Max, Another Rule of Lewis" game, do you?

No, of course you are not, because that is too naive for you.

Fans are not boys. (@peartree) July 18, 2021, 23:37

@bulgarian mercedes b Team leader.

I have watched it several times, and I agree with Daniel Ricciardo's point of view, "They are all too hot". I don't know how Verstappen did it.

Lmao, Ricardo said that only Lewis was interested in Cobbs. Look... fixed it for you

Are you joking? Max left enough space, and you crossed the corner and put him on the wall. Who do you respect? Everyone should make way for Sir Lewis. Wow.

@Initially, due to the Armco barrier, Lewis could not really move to the right.

Lol, the desperate attempt by his fan Lewis to save his legacy was very stupid, but funny.

After the crash, this will be Max’s epic first sentence

@Niki101 is for reference only, I am not a fan of these two. Just an unbiased point of view.

@Niki101 "Lol, Lewis' desperate attempt by his fans to save his legacy is very stupid, but very funny."

"Save his legacy"? ? ? So, Hamilton's legacy is in danger because he (prepared) collided with another car?

Oh yes, because Hamilton is the only driver who has done this, hasn't he?

I don’t think Hamilton’s fans are the only "very stupid but funny" people here. Ha ha

Hamilton has plenty of room. He can slow down a bit and move to the right.

It would be great if it was so easy!

Max has more room to open his steering slightly instead of slamming the door shut when Ham is invisible in his blind spot. See composite materials

https://imgur.com/a/NInVRVY

He can be in the battle with Leclerc... so...?

what are you saying? He was speeding and understeer to enter Verstappen. You must be blind to not see it. Verstappen left enough room. But Lewis was too hot to enter and went straight to Verstappen. You can't blame Verstappen because you can't get a corner kick. How do you manage to reach the culmination in any other corner? You slowed down enough. Literally, this is how the turn works. Every corner. The fact that Hamilton could not admit it was his fault and apologized just showed his arrogance. There are also stupid comments about Leclerc’s passing... it’s all because he actually took a corner that time.

In their side-by-side braking zone, Verstappen later tried to brake and slammed the door. It's not far from the strategy "We will crash unless you quit" that Senna occasionally uses. If they didn't collide, Vestappen would go off track anyway.

@Craig "This is a far cry from the strategy "We will crash unless you quit" that Senna occasionally uses"

Not to mention the "We will collapse unless you quit" strategy that Verstappen used in Imola and Barcelona.

More importantly, "If you don't let Sir Lewis pass in his home run, I will push you to the wall"

This is almost what Horner said about Max's driving. You keep applauding for Max. You should be proud of Ham, because he finally gave you the aggressive driving you admire very much.

@erikje "It's more of, "If you don't let Sir Lewis pass in his home run, I will push you to the wall"

You are such a hypocrite. Being such a hypocrite, don't you even feel embarrassed at all?

Am I blind or Lewis took a completely different route (embrace the apex) when trying to surpass Leclerc? I'm pretty sure that the lines that Leclerc and Verstappens pass through the corners are exactly the same.

agree. Other than that: in the later stages of the race, the car is lighter and the tires are warmer. Drivers have different interests in different situations.

Is that the pass that forced Leclerc off the track? Nuf said on the spot.

LeClerc was too fast and once had an oversteer problem. He corrected this and got him off track. He was never forced to go off track, which is a textbook example of unforced error.

@paeschli Even better, Lewis flinched during his pass to Charles and waited until Charles drove off the track to complete the pass.

F1oSaurus (@f1osaurus) July 18, 2021, 21:28

@paeschli Hamilton was hit even before reaching the top. After the impact, the car will obviously understeer and Hamilton will correct it.

Hamilton did the same to Leclerc. Leclerc finished P2, and Verstappen ended his game.

"The butler reviewed the video and telemetry evidence," the butler said. "The 33rd [Verstappen] and 44 [Hamilton] entered the 9th turn, the 33rd car took the lead, and the 44th car was slightly behind and on the inside.

"Car No. 44 is on a line that does not reach the vertex of the corner, and there is free space inside.

"When car No. 33 turned, car No. 44 did not avoid contact, and the front left part of car No. 44 touched the rear right part of car No. 33. It was judged that car No. 44 was mainly faulty."

Oh wait, the overly aggressive Lewis saw the red fog and drove into Max.

"Hamilton did exactly the same to Leclerc." Yes, Leclerc even came up with this before the game: he noticed how Max gave Lewis enough space, but Lewis tried desperately to still hit Max, which is why he gave Lewis Some extra space.

Lewis was exposed as an overrated champion known to most people. Today, his actions in the Red Mist and subsequent despicable behaviors revealed his true colors.

Wow, we quoted this decision almost at the same time!

I would not say that Lewis is overrated. He is a great driver who committed something that can only be described as a mistake today, and there is nothing worse than this (that is, it was not intentional). I think the understeer of the Hamilton car is the main factor causing the collision, which is very obvious when you compare it with his actions against Leclerc.

And it is still in progress in July.

@f1osaurus But the butler does not agree with you. They said after "reviewing the video and telemetry evidence":

The No. 44 car is on a line that does not reach the vertex of the corner, and there is space inside.

Hamilton understeer before hitting Verstappen. Channel 4 pointed this out, when you compare the steering angle between Max events and the actual steering angle response, where he was at least one meter from the edge of the track and overtaking on Leclerc, for which he was completely on the road. side. The track on the inside of the Copse is dirty, which means that the front end of Lewis has not bitten. Lewis’ understeer is not entirely Lewis’s fault, but trying to pass on the very dirty part of the track is a bit of a misjudgment.

F1oSaurus (@f1osaurus) July 18, 2021, 22:07

@randommallard Indeed, butlers do make mistakes. Obviously Hamilton did a good job, he even braked to make sure that Verstappen had enough room.

@f1oclown "Hamilton did a great job, he even braked to make sure that Verstappen had enough room." Now, it would be great if he knew the huge gap Max left him...

There is no salvation anymore.

@f1osaurus But in this order of priority, Raikkonen's penalty for hitting Hamilton in the 3rd round was also a mistake. They are very similar events. The cars behind (Hamilton yesterday, Raikkonen in 2018) were faster and flattened when approaching the corner, losing to the outer car because they were on the damaged inner line and then turning to the outer car (Hamilton turned Insufficient) because the track is dirty, Raikkonen is locked). They touched from front left to back right, and the car outside began to spin.

Or, as I'm sure you prefer me to say, Hamilton, who was on the outside in 2018, had a suicidal tendency. His actions did not turn on and did not allow Raikkonen to get close to enough space, so he should drive directly through Raikkonen. , He should not be punished. Because this is what you said happened yesterday.

F1oSaurus (@f1osaurus) July 19, 2021, 9:58

@randommallard Hamilton made no mistakes. He is next to him and owns the rights to the racing line. Verstappen should give in like Norris and Leclerc. They continue to finish their game. Verstappen decided that he would crash instead of being overtaken. Well, he got it.

This is the point. Very light punishment. Especially considering that this is RedBull's third time, with exactly the same actions, exactly the same mistakes, and exactly the same punishment. You would almost think that Lewis was a little frustrated and did it deliberately. Let us give him the benefit of doubt, I am sure he is not a mentally ill person

If this situation continues for a while, Lewis will surpass Schumacher with bad sportsmanship.

Señor Sjon July 18, 2021, 21:31

In the Schumacher era, only you would get a 10 second stop/go penalty (or at least drive through). This 10 second penalty provides a very high reward for canceling the game. RB paid a huge price again, just like Pirelli failed in Baku. The poor Honda was hit hard and will result in a starting penalty later. Therefore, in fact, Verstappen will be punished more than Hamilton.

Yes, he really wants to fight for all records, right? He needs to seize the opportunity now. This is useless to win the dirtiest driver trophy. He should wait until there is more danger and don't do it so casually in the middle of the season.

Barry Bens (@barryfromdownunder) July 18, 2021, 20:48

Rubbish, but naturally Mercedes sticks to their story. The camera disliked: Hamilton did not lead Verstappen as he claimed on the radio, and Verstappen left enough room. Hamilton was too eager to make the wrong turn: everyone knows that a person is blind and fast, and you don't want anyone to dive from inside.

A real man would admit that he made a mistake, but obviously Hamilton would not.

Barry Bens (@barryfromdownunder) July 18, 2021, 20:52

In addition (by the way, good edit keys/sec), this is just Lewis playing his thinking game again, indirectly saying that he thinks Verstappen is disrespectful, and is obviously digging out the social posts that Verstappen posted not long ago.

It is inevitable for the two to get together like this, but such a thing makes people a little bit sour. There will naturally be a heavy return. You can bet that Verstappen will return to the anger mode he showed years ago, and this time Hamilton will become the receiver. I can only hope that it won't turn the entire championship game into a bunch of squishy things, but I won't bet it won't.

Hamilton is really a man? What kind of fairy tale will we live in?

Dallin Smith (@darryn) July 18, 2021, 20:49

I am very happy that Lewis has overcome Flemish international aid. Never seen a more ridiculous punishment. Little Mike got what he deserved.

He got the second lightest penalty. He should at least drive over.

@raddie "He should at least drive over."

why? For such incidents, everyone else will be punished by 10 seconds. Why should Hamilton get more?

Why do you have a prejudice against Hamilton?

@darryn How long did it take you to think of this stupid acronym?

why? Because Max is not British? -_-

Lewis's way of thinking is exactly the same...

This guy completely lost. What a fool.

I think this event ultimately boils down to Hamilton's re-adjusting his wheel-to-wheel combat method, while Verstappen did not...

What I actually mean is that Hamilton has always been a champion in history, and in this case, he is playing for a long time. In the battle with Verstappen, his performance was often worse because he gave more space to protect his title.

On the other hand, Verstappen has historically been more aggressive without a championship.

At the beginning of this year, whenever two people take turns, they will see these methods. Normally, Hamilton will quit to spend another day, and Verstappen will have the upper hand.

The problem now is that due to the outstanding performance of Red Bull (especially Verstappen), Hamilton has fallen so far behind in the championship that his self-protection methods no longer work. He can't turn over and let Verstappen leave, he must be the one who forced Verstappen to quit. Basically this is what he did today-to force this question.

On the other hand, Verstappen still knows something about Hamilton-he will quit, he always does. Only this time, he didn't.

The contact was made, and due to the nature of the place where it happened, it had a huge impact.

My instinct is that the butler thinks this is a racing incident. However, as a result, the final red flag meant that Hamilton did not give up the order to pit and change his nose, and they felt they had to punish him.

Is there any way to reverse the situation. Lewis couldn't turn from that angle, went too fast, missed the apex, and hit Max on the rear wheel at a very fast corner.

He was lucky to escape.

F1oSaurus (@f1osaurus) July 18, 2021, 21:29

@anunaki Hamilton braked. Verstappen did not choose a straight line through Hamilton.

"The butler reviewed the video and telemetry evidence," the butler said. "The 33rd [Verstappen] and 44 [Hamilton] entered the 9th turn, the 33rd car took the lead, and the 44th car was slightly behind and on the inside.

"Car No. 44 is on a line that does not reach the vertex of the corner, and there is free space inside.

"When car No. 33 turned, car No. 44 did not avoid contact, and the front left part of car No. 44 touched the rear right part of car No. 33. It was judged that car No. 44 was mainly faulty."

Oh wait, Hamilton missed the apex, failed to brake and hit Max.

A true champion... a decent human...

I am very interested in what the housekeeper said:-"No. 44 car did not avoid contact"

but…. hang on…. Since when has Car 44's job been to avoid contact? Who made this rule? Where is it written?

Why doesn't Car 33 have to avoid contact?

But now that you mention it, I think this rule must be written somewhere. Look at Imola, lap 1, turns 1 and 2. Car No. 33 forces Car No. 44 to leave the track, and Car No. 44 must avoid contact. Then Barcelona lap 1, turning 1 and 2. Car No. 33 once again forced Car No. 44 to avoid contact.

Subsequently, on the 1st lap in the UK, the number 44 car failed to avoid contact on the 9th lap. result? Automatic penalty.

So, I think this rule must be written somewhere.

However, this seems unfair, does it?

(@amanCalledchuda) Car number 33 is in front. If he brakes, Lewis will not buckle him and Car 44 will lose control, turning and oversteer as an amateur. If he flinches, nothing will happen.

@Niki101 "Oh wait, Hamilton missed the apex, failed to brake and ran into Max. A true champion... a decent human..."

What? So Hamilton is the only driver who has ever done this, right? This may be a huge shock for Niki, but almost every driver has done it.

Is this your first time watching a game? I really hope so, otherwise, your nonsense here is totally unreasonable. Having said that, irrationality is often what you get from people who hate Hamilton.

@erikje "Car number 33 is in front. If he brakes, Lewis won't add bones to him"

Why do you think he brakes? All he had to do was to open the steering wider, thereby giving Hamilton more space-as Hamilton did in Imola and Barcelona.

If the "amateur" Hamilton can do it, why can't the "golden boy" Verstappen?

He obviously didn't slow down from where he was. Max took the exact same route as Leclerc later. The only difference is that Lewis did withdraw as he wished.

But it's over now, and we now know that Lewis will win at all costs like Schumacher. He looks good, and the protector does this.

@anunaki "Lewis will win a victory like Schumacher at all costs"

So, you mean that his driving style will be more like Verstappen's driving style? So Verstappen can drive like this, but not Hamilton? why?

I have never seen Max make such a move on such high speed corners. Of course everyone makes mistakes, but this is just very, very dangerous.

But this is yesterday, and it's time to move on to the next one.

@anunaki "I have never seen Max make such a move on such a high-speed corner."

Well, you have. You saw it in this incident. Lewis is on the side, inside, so, so to speak, this is his corner-so Max should exit. However, considering that Max is such an aggressive driver, he does not.

The most convincing evidence is the in-vehicle lens of the Max car. When he turns into the corner, you can clearly see Lewis's front wing side by side with Max. Max saw Lewis clearly because he turned to the left to avoid him-but only a fraction of a second before changing his mind and turning to the right-even though he knew there was a car on his right. Max seems to have an attitude of "Get out of the way, or we will collide!" Unfortunately, this attitude caused him to lose the game. This attitude is obvious in Imola and Barcelona. As a fan of Verstappen, you might think that other drivers should avoid Max, but why do they do this?

Regarding Hamilton's punishment, please take a look at this scene of Sainz vs. Grosjean in Copps in 2018...

https://youtu.be/rp7oMpvEBJQ

Now, given that this is considered a racing incident and has no penalties, I would love to know your opinion on why Hamilton was penalized for the recent incident.

f12007v (@f1fan-2000) July 19, 2021, 5:14

You have obviously never driven in the jungle before knowing that you have to brake earlier than from the inside of the corner

For a heavy vehicle, cold tires and dirty lines, he obviously didn't have enough brakes. Looking at where Lewis' car ended after the turn, he hit the leftmost turning exit. If he brakes enough, he will stop more on the right or in the middle of the track to keep Max's car on the left. With Leclerc, he does brake more, and because the car is 100 kg lighter, he has less understeer.

@gechichan "For a heavy car, cold tires and dirty lines, he obviously does not have enough brakes.... If he brakes enough, he will stay more on the right or in the middle of the track, letting Max's car is parked on the left."

To be fair, you don't know this.

As far as we know, he will leave the width of a car outside. Maybe the only reason he didn't do this was because the collision caused the car to lose its balance, causing it to become wider, otherwise it would happen. Or, maybe, with the help of Verstappen, Hamilton can step on the accelerator earlier and stretch the car's trajectory wider-all the way to the exit curb.

Let's be clear, I'm just guessing here, but I just pointed out that we should be aware of how little we really know about these things.

@amanCalledchuda I think we know. This is the proof: https://jmp.sh/ZIOVMsZ

Sorry, but there are a few still photos that do not prove the trajectory of any of these cars at all. All it shows is that they are typing on different lines. It does not state where they will be at the time of exit. You need some kind of physics-based computer model to calculate it.

The 2016 fight with the later world champion Rosberg in Spain came to mind. When Lewis is under pressure, he will make rookie decisions after so many years.

Quite ridiculously, you have to go back to the 2016 incident, in which the administrator believed that neither driver was responsible for showing these “rookie decisions”. This only shows how cautious Hamilton was in round-to-round matches in the latter part of his career.

Red Andy (@red-andy) July 19, 2021, 6:42

In Brazil in 2019 and 2020, Albon also has two double punts. In particular, the Austrian crash was similar to this crash (although the speed was much lower), mainly because Hamilton tried to "close the door" even though he had nowhere to go to nearby locations to do so.

Now this is naive. The accident happened because Lewis was on the grass. why? Because after he swerved to close Lewis' door, he was trying to avoid Nico.

I totally disagree with this. Since the start of the season, Verstappen has been driving cleaner and smarter, and the desperate Hamilton tried to be more aggressive in the race against Verstappen, and later withdrew from the action and finally made a misjudgment like today. Since the entire F1 circus was centered on the British, he only received the second most lenient penalty, and he was obviously responsible for the end of the race and the very violent crash. The fact that he took a completely different approach when surpassing Leclerc shows me that Verstappen is in his mind.

F1oSaurus (@f1osaurus) July 18, 2021, 21:31

@paeschli Verstappen has been driving, like a person who completely bullied him, "Either we crash, or let me pass the swoop bomb", or his "We either crash, or you yield and stay behind me to defend". Almost every game. He also did a few times on the first lap here. However, the last Hamilton thought it was enough.

You don't have to agree to it. After all, the entire comment section is just opinions. Just like I can choose to disagree with your statement about being British as the center, why he has not been punished too much. The last time I checked, the butler gave a penalty... and they are definitely not all Englishmen.

As you said, Verstappen is smarter overall this year (compared to him in previous years), but many of Hamilton's first corner moves rely on Hamilton's concessions.

Verstappen is definitely in Hamilton's mind, which is also right. However, you cannot defeat a person who does not shrink by shrinking all the time. Hamilton chose to change this today instead of quitting. In view of the points gap, he absolutely cannot withdraw again. We saw the result.

Now Hamilton also firmly put himself in Verstappen's mind. The question is, who will retire next time...

Now that the points are collected again, they all need to be careful. Or maybe they won't, we see chaos at the beginning of every game.

I can't speak better. The MV thought of another day when LH quit the battle earlier this season... That day is today!

Being 33 points behind forces LH to sacrifice long-term games for this time and place... For me, the biggest question now is whether MV recognizes this change in the outlook of his main competitor?

@ Mikef117 👍 This is the problem. This may be costly for both teams, but it may be better for us fans

Completely agree with your post.

Hamilton gave in to Verstappen at the beginning of the match between Imola and Barcelona, ​​probably thinking of something like, "Yes, Max, you can stretch your elbows as you like. I will still win the championship." Now He is 33 points behind, of course, the gloves must be taken off. No longer a good man.

I agree that Verstappen may be sure that Hamilton will quit again, and I am surprised that he did not do so.

If Red Bull can't control their loose small standards, the rest of the season may be very interesting.

He had to surrender there because he could not pass. This time he made a rookie mistake. Lost control and hit Verstappen.

@erikje "He had to succumb to there because he couldn't get through."

Why is "he can't pass"?

He was almost on the side, inside. This is the standard overtaking procedure; brake your opponent and dive into the corner. Using this technique, I can show you thousands of overtakings.

For example, try this. Vettel and Alonso are at (interestingly) Cape Cops...

https://youtu.be/fVnbJQRpG5w?t=50

Is there a big difference? Alonso is a smarter/better driver than Verstappen, doing the right thing and admitting corner kicks.

I began to wonder whether Lewis was trying to avoid Max in this way after seeing all the cheating allegations failed. Not sure if it will work.

Max has moved on. Max likes to explore the limits of what is allowed, and now he knows what you can do in exchange for a 10-second penalty. Such lenient penalties will only encourage further aggression.

If he continues to lose, he can only blame himself

Unfortunately, since the butler is so inconsistent, it won’t work that way

If anyone wants to know, Lewis is playing a mental game with all these comments. He has the upper hand for the first time today and is stepping on the pedal, hoping Max will react.

No, he had the upper hand in the flight lap on Friday. He got nothing after the loss started on Saturday. He had an uncertain overtaking attempt on Sunday.

He won, Max scored zero points, Perez also got nothing, and the entire RB team was going crazy. Mercedes had a nice day.

@passingisoverrated Next time Max will be inside, knowing exactly that his punishment will be to wipe Hamilton from the points.

The problem is that Hamilton will know the difference from the biggest

@lucifer and Ham did not succumb, because multiple replays showed that he had room on the inside. Charles' pass proved this because Ham did succumb at that time.

Remember when the team told Ham he got a penalty and he didn't argue? He saw the replay during the Red Flag, and he knew it was his fault.

F1oSaurus (@f1osaurus) July 18, 2021, 21:32

Verstappen has been doing this. Usually Hamilton surrendered, but now he decides not to

Doubt. Max will keep going and work hard to win the championship without worrying about stupid things like revenge.

F1oSaurus (@f1osaurus) July 19, 2021, 8:38

@passingisoverrated Remember when he was in Brazil that he didn't want Ocon to run faster on new tires? He wasted a victory because he is still saddened by what happened in F3 a few years ago.

I seriously doubt whether Verstappen has the ability to think directly in these situations.

On the other hand, Verstappen didn't because... he hasn't bullied everyone since he started. Look at Imola, Spain, Austria. Many "you either collapse or let me pass" behavior.

Perez ran the fastest lap outside the top 10 and snatched a point from Hamilton

It is also the fastest car. If you lose two games on an advanced machine, especially after Ferrari, it will be a big blow.

@lucifer "The problem is that Hamilton will know a different output from max"

Hamilton retired as many drivers today as Max did in his career?

Of course, he knows how to succumb...

In the comment section of a newspaper that I consider to be a reputable newspaper, someone has the same username as yours and posted exactly the same nonsense. Are you talking about Max’s entire career or his career as an F1 driver? If I remember correctly, Verstappen hit his teammate in Hungary 3 years ago, which forced Ricardo to retire... Oh, he was fined 10 seconds. Generally speaking, when Max does hit another driver, his situation is usually worse.

@Niki101 In addition to the situation mentioned by Debra, there is also Riccardo's Baku incident. It is believed that he was also considered partly responsible for the accident, and they all withdrew from that game.

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=36YFQTFzZwU

So your statement is wrong.

Exactly what I have been thinking about. He has taken Norris there, and the driver is wise every time, but not arrogant. I wish him all the best and hope that he has not suffered too much. Horner is a level 1 hip because he throws the toy out of the stroller. Similar incidents are happening all the time, most of which were correctly regarded as racing incidents in the past. Uh, race = racing.

After the game, I had no objection to the celebration of Lewis' podium. What really bothered me was seeing some fans cheering in the stands before Max got out of the car. I mean what if he is seriously injured. I know the barriers for British sports fans are very low, but this is a new low point

I agree with the main problem here. The fans who do this are creating a toxic atmosphere, which is likely to rebound in the entire sport in the future.

But this problem has deeper roots. For Formula One, it is unhealthy to support him just because he is from "your" country. Nationalism is deeply ingrained in so many sports, and ideally it should be as far away as possible from F1. I admire those who can go beyond this and cheer for the driver of their choice based on his (her?) personality or more common driver abilities.

Red Andy (@red-andy) July 18, 2021, 22:51

@suwperman I remember that Schumacher had similar complaints after his broken leg in Stowe in 1999. Although it is low, it is not new.

Trying to be of any other nationality and breaking in (I am not going to say the name of this country), we let the crowd grab the jackets of the medical staff, try to stop them before reaching our car and chant "fire fire fire". Most fans are very disgusting

I sincerely hope that the 2022 regulations will bring cars closer. With the disappearance of Mercedes hegemony, we will be able to see Hamilton's position on the grid. Bottas' average championship results in Mercedes are between 2nd and 3rd (5th is the worst). Bottas is not the second or third best driver on the grid. Without a car, Hamilton is not so good. This Sunday's maneuver showed his despair. This may be a preview for the next few years. Kind of like Schumacher in his last years.

I am tired of reading this old complaint. "Without a car, Hamilton would not be so good." By extension, the same is true for Max or anyone else on the grid.

Did you know... the results today are so unsatisfactory... not just because a champion contender was eliminated and the punishment was ultimately irrelevant and it felt unfair. It is the sport that has become so full of gimmicks that only the fastest teams can benefit: in addition to having already achieved pole position, you can also earn extra points in sprint qualifying. You can get extra points for the fastest lap, but as fans, we can never enjoy the fastest lap. Only drivers with enough gaps can truly do this. You have rules for artificial tires, and only those who are fast enough can enter Q3 on harder compounds. Each year's car changes are restricted by tokens, so regardless of advantages or disadvantages, they will be locked for another year. It's almost as if the sport is designed to allow the ruler to do so in the way that most humiliates other competitors. Of course, Lewis is an excellent driver who can bridge the gap that Bottas could not do, but he drove a damn Mercedes, and the 10-second penalty was not important.

Don't forget the red flag, so Hamilton can repair his car without wasting any time.

Lol, it used to be more than 20 laps behind the red flag or safety car.

"I once quit, just to make sure we didn't get together"

Lewis actually quit twice in the opening corners. Lewis had a better start and withdrew. Then he returned to the 6th corner (Brookland). Max should back up this time because Lewis has backed up twice to avoid a collision. But Max just doesn't do that. He didn't know what Lewis said about balance. He wants everything to be done in his own way, otherwise he will make contact.

"We must really try to find the best balance, we can always be on the track of space and respect"

The lack of respect for the other drivers in the race and the general lack of balance between attacking and retreating are two problems with Max driving. This boy needs to be smart and bring a key balance in his driving. Otherwise Max will never win the championship unless he owns a very dominant car.

F1oSaurus (@f1osaurus) July 18, 2021, 21:35

@amg44 Indeed, bullying is too much at some point. Fortunately, Hamilton finally made a statement.

Nevertheless, to be fair, he again tried to give in and brake to exit. But Verstappen was so rude that he drove in a straight line where he knew Hamilton was because they were almost completely side by side before.

Confused, if there was any bullying, it was that the car hit another 160 mph curve, he was not beside him, he put the front wing aside, then let it go to the apex, then understeer to enter maximum

Lewis tried to pass the version twice. Max responded well to every attempt. The frustration caused Lewis to make a rookie turnover for the third time. He could not complete the pass at all, so he took desperate action again under pressure.

But before you said he was out of control? which one? Did he lose control as you said above, or did he deliberately as you said here.

After reading a lot of comments here, I kind of agree with what you mentioned. However, I didn't put too much blame on Max. For me, I think both are wrong... Maybe Lewis is more than Max.

This is how I saw it-Turn 1-Max left the track at Turn 1 to defend his position, and thus did a good job defensively. I think it is illegal to defend this position because we have seen the driver hand back a position when overtaking another car on the track. In this case, Max defended a position by going off track. Lewis certainly understood that Max would not give up that position just after this corner on lap 1. Turn 6-Lewis is ahead of Max and on the racing line at this corner. Lewis was not aggressive enough to cover the corner, and Max dived and bombed to maintain his position. Lewis did have to withdraw from this move, otherwise they would have contact. Turn 9-Max squeezed Lewis to the inside, which made it difficult for Lewis to occupy the apex of that corner without lifting. This time Lewis decided not to lift too high, and hoped that Max knew he would go inside and would take a slightly wider line. Max thought he had covered Lewis and left enough space, so he chose an ideal route for that corner. There is contact, that's it.

In my opinion, Lewis was the culprit in the 9th turn, but Max could have avoided it by crossing that corner with a safer and wider line. Lewis was caught at the entrance, and he was likely to be in contact with Max. However, Max is responsible for the aggressiveness of the battle. His defense in the first and sixth rounds was very difficult. If the driver who is trying to overtake takes the same degree of aggression, then you are likely to have a 9th turn accident. This is exactly what happened.

Personally, I think Lewis’ punishment is reasonable. Tribute to him, he came back and still won the game. I am very happy that we have such a quality of competition. Some harsh events like this will definitely happen, and I hope Max will not bear the brunt too often. This season he is much more unlucky than Lewis, and I hope that luck will not determine the championship battle between them.

I was really surprised to read all those comments about Hamilton, most of them are too biased. What many people see here is either black or white. This championship is a very thin line, and no one wins the sport by giving up space or opportunity. It's best to try to look at it from two angles instead of feeling compelled to blame. Since Verstappen was eliminated by the incident, it is understandable that Lewis paid for it. If it is the opposite way and Lewis DNF, I believe that Verstappen will be considered to cause a collision under exactly the same circumstances.

The punishment was too light, and I have no other complaints. Butler's explanation is clear IMHO

Green Flag (@greenflag) July 18, 2021, 21:05

Verstappen made a stupid, radical mistake. If he retreats slightly, he still has a chance to win the game, or only lose 7 points. Instead, he sent himself to the hospital.

I just can't understand such comments, how can I push myself into the hospital? unbelievable

If he backs a little bit

He would not have been restrained by Lewis. Only Lewis could have avoided the crash.

Carbon Fiber (@carbon_fiber) July 18, 2021, 21:05

Can't he be serious? Max and Charles took the exact same route. It was Hamilton and Verstappen who went too wide.

He was serious, but too much. You are 100% correct. If anything, Max gave Lewis more space than Charles, but Hamilton took a different route. But here, you have Lewis fans because they don't bother to check it out for themselves.

@carbon_fiber He is serious, this is the worst part. Today he succeeded Michael as the meanest driver in the history of the sport, but at least Michael later showed some respect.

Let us not be overwhelmed here. In this regard, I think no one is close to Michael. Hamilton did not intentionally crash his car into an opponent to end their championship hopes.

This is a controversial event, who is at fault between Lewis and Max. When Michael drove a damaged car on the track waiting for his opponent to catch up and then turned to him, there was never any argument.

You need to watch it again. Max is trying to stop overtaking near the right center of the track. Lewis backs up when he is almost side by side, knowing it is not open, and then touches Max while backing up while he is still not moving. If he steps on If he didn’t crash, he would leave the track anyway and Lewis would be overtaken. Max knew he was there, so why did he turn? You can't disappear around the corner at 180 mph. Leclerc is on the left side of the track, on the racing line, without any resistance to overtaking.

There is no resistance to overtaking.

Yes, when Sir Lewis overtook, Lewis fans seemed to think so. Ha ha.

F1oSaurus (@f1osaurus) July 18, 2021, 21:37

@carbon_fiber When Hamilton tapped on the front wheel, he oversteered. To correct this, he needs to take a wider line. Had it not been for Verstappen to knock him, he would have reached that culmination.

Hit Lewis in your dimension Ver. I see. In the real world, you can see Lewis out of control and oversteer to maximum from the boat. Try the clown again.

"I won't complain about it"-he complained as he said.

Leclerc pass is totally different? Hamilton is closer to the edge of the track, and Leclerc has a big gap between them. Against Verstappen Hamilton still has space next to him, and still enters the corner at an angle that can directly hit him.

He really kicked his champion opponent out of the game, got an irrelevant penalty and won the game, but still complaining? The man has a problem.

@rocketpanda is absolutely correct. They even showed what Max looked like, saw Ham, and then turned and left to make more room.

And Ham's internal space can accommodate a whole car, so he has enough space to make room.

However, Hamm turned Max, and all these crazy fools thought it was Max's fault, and Ham would definitely suggest that anyone who blames him needs to be united in the end.

Okay, please tell us where Lewis is complaining. Please paste the excerpt of what he actually said in your reply. I clearly expressed the complaint.

Tell you where did he complain? What I mean is to talk over and over again about how other people "respect" and he doesn't get enough space, despite this, it's almost a complaint at this stage. He can put it down and enjoy the fun of being a winner, there is no need to continue.

This is a very lengthy statement that you can’t find an actual citation of him that can be considered a complaint.

@rocketpanda His problem is rights.

Absolutely dislike Hamilton this weekend.

Green Flag (@greenflag) July 18, 2021, 21:16

The advantage of Lewis' victory is that it makes the Hamilton haters more angry than usual. This may trouble Hamilton's supporters rather than the slightest.

Yes, your hitting the apex shows how Verstappen should behave.

Compared with Max's pass, when Leclerc passed, Lewis was 1 meter more to the right of the apex.

In the face of a helpless Ferrari, the old tires slowed down a lap, while the LH could pass easily in other places.

However, Ferrari uses new tires.

That's it in summary.

Translation: "Leclerc is a good boy and didn't challenge me too much. This is how people *should* compete with me!"

Translator's Note: "If everyone challenged me like Bottas, we would not talk about the limits of racing."

"He is very respectful in leaving the gap," Hamilton said.

Yes, because although you have enough space on your right side, when you plow the cart on your back, Max sits in the first row. He actually mentioned this post-match game.

What is this guy kidding.

@ Niki101 Because of the Armco barrier on the right, not many.

It worked well because Hamilton took a different approach to Leclerc and Verstappen. In Verstappen's case, he did place his car in the middle where he should be kept clean, because Verstappen was slightly ahead. In Leclerc's case, he was even on the inside on the curb, which worked for both drivers because they both cornered.

I remember Hamilton complaining about Leclerc's dangerous driving at Monza in 2019. If Ferrari will compete for the victory next year, this addition may be counterproductive, because Leclerc, the assassin facing this baby (from a sports perspective), can be as aggressive as Max, and even more about wheel-to-wheel. thing. In today's game, Hamilton has a 1s advantage in hard rim speed and a higher top speed in his league.

My feeling is that this is a racing incident. These things happen. Obviously, Hamilton was at fault. Verstappen's frustration is understandable. But the time penalty has been given, and Hamilton did achieve a good victory.

But the conclusion I can draw is that Hamilton is not that good at handling stress. When he didn't have the best car, he started to complain and blame everyone. It's easy to win the best car. Now at least he has a real battle in his hands. And in my honest opinion, he didn't handle it well.

I do agree with some people here that Max came to him. He can also wait to overtake or undercut later. This was an unnecessary collision, but Hamilton missed the apex and was to blame.

What Hamilton should do is to say that these things happened, he did make a mistake, was punished, but still won. Don't blame other drivers.

In any case, it will be interesting in Hungary, Spa and Zandvoort. Looking forward to more driving to the limit.

He showed Max that he would not be bullied, and he certainly would not be seen as regretting a situation that was not caused by him. As some people here have already said, Lewis is sending a signal to re-adjust his racing mentality, namely Max

If you think Hamilton cannot cope with stress well, then you are obviously a casual person. I suggest you start watching some of his reactions on the junior forums and some of his reactions when he didn't have the best car in the early days of F1. Almost every athlete makes mistakes, man-even the greatest athlete. Have you ever watched the Adelaide Grand Prix and squeezed it into Brundle when Senna was leading almost a lap? Educate yourself

Wow. Moan more...please...it makes me giggle.

Overtaking Leclerc is completely different. Hamilton respected Leclerc but not Verstappen. Leclerc took the same route as Max, but the difference is that Hamilton is more on the inside of the apex... Check out this photo: https://twitter.com/maacchhiinnee/status/1416851750687023105/photo/1

Leclerc also gave way and achieved good results for Ferrari. They need these points.

Of course, CL was slow by then. LH can choose to pass a corner kick to him.

I was surprised that no one mentioned how Verstappen pinched Lewis closer to the wall as he ran to Copps. This ultimately prevented LH from entering the apex of the 9th turn. Leclerc didn't pinch him close to the wall in his defense, and LH was able to reach the top. I think LH’s approach is that he will not succumb to the MV anymore.

f12007v (@f1fan-2000) July 19, 2021, 5:20

Yes, so far, he has adopted a bottas method to reach the maximum

In fact, I prefer this snake-tongued, ruthless, and nearly mentally ill Hamilton to the fake ordinary scripts we have seen him do over the years. At least it stays true. He was obviously using this opportunity to exert psychological pressure on his opponent, which is enough for me. Winning this season will show that his talent and form in the McLaren era have not been in the process of lifting and sliding since the beginning of this era with the almost unopposed and most dominant team in F1 history. disappear. British fans and British media are notorious all over the world, so there are no surprises. Even more annoying is the housekeeper here. Kicking your champion opponent from behind while being given a width of 1.5 cars is obviously more valuable than a 10-second penalty. Now he expressed his satisfaction with the way he sent a person to the hospital, and the suspension would make more sense. For the champion, this is really a pity.

Ole Bloomer (@andrewwj) July 19, 2021, 0:26

He must be joking, right? The shame of a person. What's more ridiculous is that he withdrew from the Copse game during the battle with Leclerc, and fortunately Leclerc tires lost their grip. Soaring losers are terrible, but soaring winners are the worst.

I can't wait for karma.

Everyone is free to express their opinions, but the fact is that this is not the first time Hamilton has used this strategy. If Sky F1 can show all the collisions of Hamilton on the back of his opponent’s tires, it would be great. I think he did it. They did it to Seb in the year they fought, and he did it to his teammates in the year they fought, but that time did not go well. He did it to the former Red Bull driver twice, so I Think that once the pressure is put on him a dangerous track.

I remember when Schumi drove, everyone picked up and took Vielnerve out and was deducted points.

As Horner said, an empty victory, he should pull down all the points. I also feel sorry for Bottas because I am sure that playing the second violin after cheating will violate every fiber of his body.

We all like to see fights on the track, but hitting below the belt is unacceptable, only one person knows what happened. That was Hamilton, but if no one is seriously injured and the performance is good, I think in the end the farmer will have the upper hand. He will have to admit that there has been a better driver. This has happened to all of us because we get older. . Lewis, I hope you can sleep at night.

...... The career has long been known for knocking out other drivers. Hamilton did exactly the same thing, knocking out India's Philip Massa in the 4th turn. The matchkeeper, stupid Johnny Herbert, punishes Philip, since Herbert served in this capacity.

...The imminent double standard, Romain Gross was disqualified from a race in Spa, causing a lap of accidents? Not only is Lewis Hamilton not sanctioned? After taking out Max Verstappen, he was celebrated——

Well, I am not surprised that "Sir" Scum 44 did this to another driver. This is not the first time he has done this, and it will not be the last.

His actions to Verstappen are the same as what I see every day in the multiplayer lobby of Codemasters F1 Game with bad drivers.

But for me, most of the fault lies with the FIA, and they cannot impose very severe penalties on him. They were very tolerant of him, and the penalty was 10 seconds. If this is football, I'm pretty sure Hamilton will receive a red card for his behavior.

Instead, he sent a driver to the hospital and destroyed the chassis of his main competitor, possibly damaging the Verstappen PU and gearbox (which would cause Verstappen to be punished for replacing these parts) and made Red Bull spend a lot of money on repairs. s damage. Ten seconds to get there, only ten seconds to win.

Helmut Marko and Horner are right, this guy should at least be suspended for causing all of this. But, we are talking about MIA (Mercedes International Assistance) after all, they will never do this to Mercedes.

I hope both of them (Marco and Horner) instruct Perez/Kakuda/Gasley to start kicking Hamilton out of the game, just in return, because this is what the FIA ​​allowed them to impose a ridiculous "punishment" on Hamilton. precedent.

f12007v (@f1fan-2000) July 19, 2021, 5:22

I douby perez tsunoda or gasly would lower my head to do that. Horner may though

Probably the most angry rant I have heard from you.

No matter whose problem is. Two mistakes will never make one correct.

This is just the right of others to spread the red carpet for him. He praised Leclerc only because he hardly tried to defend the lead with very worn tires. Comparing it to Max’s start event is like comparing apples to onions, so he effectively implies that competitors must surrender in front of him or they are wrong, even if they were in a far from harmless accident Get worse. This is from the same person, he should seriously enjoy the competition with Max. Most importantly, he refused to accept his role in the incident, and didn't even care about the situation after Max. Ironically, the good-man mask of the most politically correct driver has fallen off. It's just obvious now.

Today showed how disgusting a driver/person Hamilton is, and celebrating victory after you send your opponent to the hospital is terrible sportsmanship.

Said this after the game, did he expect others to pull over and let him pass. Leclerc did this because his game was against McLaren, while Verstappen was directly against Hamilton.

Finally, the 10-second penalty is by no means a fair treatment of such shameful driving. At the very least, it should be driving through, or even stop-and-go. Because it was obvious that Hamilton would not pass there and knew that there would be contact. But he went anyway

Andy Bunting (@wildbiker) July 19, 2021, 4:33

The pretender turned back into a red mist of anger. Nonsense about whose corner this is is nonsense. Look at the stills. Watch slow motion. Max 100% turns to the right more. Attempt to force Lewis into submission. The angry mode bit him on rs. Horner needs to seize the opportunity. F1. Not a tea party etiquette class. Finish.

I made a comment at the red flag that I think this will be a punishment for Hamilton, because the responsibility for these situations is undoubtedly the internal driver, it still thinks it makes sense, but there are many statements thrown around that are not true at all. of.

First, Hamilton and Max are driving towards Copse. The difference in the location of the collision point is because Max is faster when entering the curve. We saw that Alonso later tried a similar thing in a race outside one of the McLaren cars. He ran out of the road and had to give way. Of course, Leclerc also tried to hang out outside, but no luck. Max never entered that corner.

He also moved twice to try to locate his car before Copse, once when Lewis threw the dummy and the other time when Lewis was walking the other way. This means that Lewis is very close to the wall, and there is a lot of dust. It is also crucial that Max did not retreat as he could before turning around, but maintained a relatively narrow approach.

All of this is important because it means they are very close when entering the corner. The washing effect of these cars in such high-speed corners is extreme. The closer you are to each other, the greater the effect it has on downforce. We all know that Lewis is understeer and has not reached the top, and I have no doubt that this is partly due to all of the above reasons.

As a more experienced driver, he should have expected this and be responsible for it, but Max is not a spring chicken, he could have done more to avoid this situation. I think he never considered concessions for a second, and he lost miserably because of this.

We saw the opposite in the first round in Barcelona, ​​where Max was inside and went too hot. Lewis managed to avoid contact and continue to win, which is what Max could do yesterday.

he came. Lewis is fair on this point, Max has taken some freedom (contact Imola and push Lewis to those harsh roadsides, then his Kamikaze Barcelona move). He was lucky and finally lost the overall situation.

When people have to resort to other events with different track positions, different speeds, etc. to cover up the driver who actually caused a less harmless collision, you will see how fanatical this person must be. This is the rule: When two drivers are fighting for the same track when entering a corner, the behind driver needs to back up, otherwise you will often have accidents. Max defended in one fell swoop, but the problem is that Lewis was also offline. Max even moved slightly to the outside of the track, leaving enough room before turning right. But Lewis felt that he had finished the move, but in fact he hadn't finished it, just went deep into the corner like no one, and then collided. Therefore, pretending that this is the same as their unrelated conflict in Barcelona is a fallacy: it happened on a low-speed corner and both drivers knew each other. The risks involved are much smaller.

Did you miss the part I said twice that Lewis was in charge?

As with any incident, the other party can usually do more. I just pointed out that Max had made other people give in to avoid a crash. In this case, the other driver did not give in and may not give in in the future.

Yes, I just watched it again, and you are right, Max only moved once.

Before defending, he was not on the racing line (put his car in the center), then did what many people criticized him at the beginning of his career, and turned to Hamilton after Hamilton made a promise. He almost pushed him against the wall.

Like I said, he has been for a long time.

This is the rule: When two drivers are fighting for the same track when entering a corner, the behind driver needs to back up, otherwise you will often have accidents.

XMG said this, when Max is not the driver in front, as long as he does that action, then he is the culprit of the collision. I have no doubt that it happened in the past, but it was not the case yesterday. If the rules allow them to do so, a person can drive "aggressively" and still have the right to defend. It is impossible to change the rules of rights to the unchallenged racing line even if there is no car ahead of the competition. You really need to analyze on a case-by-case basis to reduce the risk of blurring the facts in the narrative. Max must have been the culprit in the collision before. Like almost all other racers, driving is taken for granted as aggressive, but not all driving actions marked this way are necessarily wrong, otherwise it will change. To be too subjective. All in all, complaints about aggressive driving styles do not need to be dealt with with more aggressive and/or reckless driving styles. World-class drivers should know how to deal with it correctly.

+1. Very very easy to say. I couldn't be better myself. Verstappen has been doing this throughout his career and has relied on others to become more wise and mature-I would even say that Hamilton kept doing this until the car accident, until he had had enough and got fired. fight back. Max and his fans like to throw it out, but can't handle it when it comes back to them. For me, this is a pure and simple racing event.

lexusreliability? Once Max stops causing a collision, especially a serious collision like that, you can't use it as a reasonable excuse. Can you seriously imagine Alonso, or even most of the drivers in the current grid, complaining about driving too much and causing a serious collision in response? Acting carelessly and dangerously behind the wheel and proud of it? To be honest, this is something of Ma Zeping/Maldonado, there is no way to hide it. If his complaint about aggressive driving fails, then he should be able to better measure his aggressiveness as a competitive response to overtaking on the track while avoiding collisions. Alonso recently did the same with track restrictions during his start, and we have not seen him hit other drivers under the pretext of other people's previous hard start skills. He could have acted like Russell who had been driving dangerously recently, but he chose not to. Still, this choice of clean driving didn't stop him from making a good start in the sprint, so when he makes an obviously terrifying move, it's just a fallacy to cover up your idol.

When you think that an adult like me "adores" an athlete, I really can't take you seriously. I support Hamilton. In the same way, I support my country (England, GB). Just like I support my favorite football team-Liverpool. Obviously, my emotional attachment to Hamilton is not as strong as yours to Verstappen. Someone is obviously triggered-when you post something less emotional, I might argue with you. But there is nothing worth solving in your rant.

lexusreliability? However, your answer is not an attempt to refute my argument, but an attempt to measure personal affinity for the driver? If you wish to use this as constructive reasoning, that is, to analyze conflicts involving Copse’s main champion competitors, please return to the relevant points of the discussion. I'm not sure if you are a fanatic in reality (maybe you haven't considered how things usually develop on the Internet), but when I see your argument is too biased towards Lewis in my opinion, you sound like a fanatic Or, I wrote my rebuttal. What you wrote back was all about yourself and guesses about how many Max fans I am (not really relevant, unless you just want to engage in advertising and deviate from the main topic).

Hamilton has never been a particularly good liar. Even if he has enough time to formulate a response. It is a good thing that he drives a car because he has never been a lawyer.

The most accomplished judge in Alabama simply humiliated himself in court because he lied that he did not read the contract on which he personally changed the terms. I don't think you need to be a good liar to get good results in the justice department!

I think what he said makes sense.

He is actually saying that running off the track to let him in the past is a respectful way, but racing against a blessed person, even if he tries long live moves, it is disrespectful not to let him in the past.

It was like the humble Alben trying to surpass him from the outside in Austria. Total disrespect, so I need to get off the boat to learn a lesson. (I believe he even beat him once when he was disrespectful to challenge in Brazil)

At least more people have seen Hamilton's dirty arrogance.

Finally, you have some reasons for Hamilton's comment Balue. This will make it easier for the rest of us to read your opinions week after week.

FWIW, you don't care, Lewis admitted that Brazil was his fault and apologized immediately.

At least you left it as it was and chose the poster instead of @sparkyamg

If I am not mistaken (@ifiamnotwerymuchmistaken) July 19, 2021, 7:01

Hamilton is more aggressive than in the past few years. This is not wrong. He is no longer the most dominant car in F1 history. He is an excellent driver and he wants to win. Of course, Max is also an excellent driver and wants to win. In this case, I think this is just the first gathering this year. I think the main reason why the objective audience is dissatisfied with the result of the game is that Hamilton avoided Verstappen and managed to escape. If they both won the DNF, we might say what a great game this is and will push Ferrari to victory at the LEC. In this way, HAM pushed the track’s VER (fairly, this is F1, it happened), was lucky to stay on the track, very lucky to get the red flag, so they repaired his damage without any loss of time, and The fastest driver remaining in the fastest car on this track. I think this is just their first diversion this year, and whether they can get on the right track is just a matter of luck. In addition, BOT is out and PER loses points. I think it is not impossible for us to see BOT in Red Bull's Merc and Russel next year.

Andy Bunting (@wildbiker) July 19, 2021, 7:02

At least more people have seen Hamilton's dirty arrogance. Really? so? Your purity is like snow driven away. Very clean. Maximum. In his flawless F1 driving career so far, has he never caused an accident or accident?

On cold tires, driving away from the normal racing line with a small grip, driving a heavy car, approaching that corner at that angle and at that speed... It is impossible for Hamilton to make Copes without leaving. His inability to reach the top and understeer (?!) entering Verstappen said it all. To be honest, I have higher expectations for the 7 DWC. It is indeed the combination of frustration and despair and the need for track location that made Hamilton commit himself to this action. One person wins, and one person is hospitalized. No sane person will be satisfied with the result. I had no problems with the tough race, but Hamilton crossed the finish line. He was punished and deducted points on his license, so it was obvious who was at fault. Hamilton and Mercedes still blamed the "very aggressive" Verstappen and told them a lot. To be honest, I think they just lost a lot of sympathy for a lot of people.

Hamilton's "safe driving" remarks to the crowd are ridiculous.

One more thing: I think the crowd is cheering for Max getting out of the car, and it looks good, but I have also read about their comments about verstappen boos. So which one is it?

But he did make the woods at that angle and speed without leaving. We've all seen it, unless you think that the contact with Max violates all physics and helped him get around the corner, although you can see him nudging counterclockwise...leave the corner?

We should look at the events of the first lap from the 1dt angle of that lap. Vers kept hitting lewis on the first lap. Even on the straights. He is too aggressive. Lewis decided today that he would not back down. Then the final result: Lewis won the verst and collapsed. Sad but true. Verst needs to participate in more competitions. Less bullying. The driver will not always give him his way.

Interesting comment, Max kisses Lewis’ tires and Lewis hits his tires. Do you think Max deserves it?

In the past I would say yes, but in this season he drove fairly, he surpassed the track limits and gave way, every time he overtakes he stands on the side.

Lewis hit him behind, think about it,

I am very disappointed with Hamilton. This is not an action that a real athlete should take. A desperate move by a frustrated man.

Agree, he should try to get him off the road along Brookland, or give way or crash into Turn Six. But Max arrived first.

And that penalty was just a joke. It should be at least 10 seconds. stop-and-go.

Why doesn't the article mention that Hamilton's route is different in both cases?

In the age of fake news, reporters who repeat public figures’ comments have a responsibility to keep their readers informed. As the administrator said, car No. 44 left a lot of space in his car and “did not avoid” a collision with car No. 33. In the later stages of the race, Hamilton's Mercedes car and Leclerc's Ferrari went hand in hand, which can be seen in the car.

Exactly. Leclerc uses the same lines as Verstappen, as seen by xan ve in the photo above. The difference is that Hamilton was not at the peak in the battle with Verstappen, but in the overtake of Leclerc.

Werner von Rode (@wernervonrode) July 19, 2021, 11:15

Very convenient for forums that HAM likes, isn't it?

When Lewis moved around that corner for all other drivers, except for the biggest, he made sure he used all the curbs available, but for the biggest move, he planned not to use anything, even if he gave more space to his car Will bump into Max too,

The driver in the front gets the racing line. This is a fair rule. Imagine if it is the Olympic Games and the person behind pushes the other person down. Do you really support the person behind?

Max was in front, stepped onto the racing line, Lewis forced contact,

A 10-second free throw is nothing. Driving a free throw is correct. I'm sure if Max hits Lewis, the free throw will be worse.

A 10-second free throw is nothing. Driving a free throw is correct. I'm sure if Max hits Lewis, the free throw will be worse.

Exactly. In the end, this is an almost irrelevant punishment. If anything, it happened to fool a lot of people with his (not so hard) recovery and made him look like a hero. But in fact, he has just become the winner of Schumacher's style. But I do admit that this type of event led to a more exciting season (for sad reasons of sportsmanship, there are too many dirty antics, but that is the case). The interesting part is that the game between Lewis and Max is a real opponent, instead of forcing Lewis like Seb, who just makes the latter and his team look better in the end, without a sustained battle. Too much conversation. I know the season is not over yet, but in any case, everyone now believes that Max and Red Bull will have the opportunity to become WDC and WCC until the end. It now appears that this is a very reasonable expectation.

The only thing Leclerc did was to save his life.

Not a fuck but Albon is right, this guy is a very failed person.

I'm glad to hear that in retrospect, he learned a lesson from it and now knows what he did wrong: p

Hamilton must explain why he did not maintain the apex, why he went offline and turned to Verstappen's predictable line. This is exactly why he was accused. Everything else is an outspoken argument of bad quality.

Well, I will go further. Since these things happened, I am very willing to leave the whole incident behind. All Lewis had to do was the day; wow, it didn't work as well as I thought. I went to the muddy side of the track and understeer when braking into Verstappen. There is nothing I can do, I'm sorry. He will still score 25 points. He will still be respected by people outside the UK

Leclerc was too scared, he left by himself... Hamilton shouldn't talk about respect... He had no respect for his victims.

The ruthless Schumacher behavior of a once great athlete. 51G is just to show that you can no longer handle battles and will resort to dirty strategies. Can we compare the penalties of the two gentlemen? Lewis needs to shut up and try to improve his skills

I think Hamm has shown Max the same respect that Max has shown to others, whether it’s threatening to punch someone or issuing a series of fouls and insults to Lando and others because he dared to walk in the training he wanted When his team boss scoffs at it or publicly makes fun of someone’s appearance, he will avoid or bump into other people; in the same way, his future father-in-law is also famous for doing what he wants.

This fully confirms his attitude towards rights. Leclerc showed respect. Well, Lewis, I have news to tell you. There are pictures on the Internet showing the positions of Leclercs and Max in that corner. It turns out that Leclerc initially left less space for you than Max. So it is not Max or Leclerc. On these pictures, you can see very clearly that the location of your car is completely different. With Leclerc, your car is on the side of the road. Max is 1.5 meters from the apex. The only disrespect is you Lewis. You clumsy person. You know there are cameras everywhere now.

Please watch Hyundai F1's passing at that turn in the past 25 years. If you are lucky, you might find that Verstappen and other drivers made similar passes further behind this pass attempt, but they did not. An overly tough defensive blocker like Verstappen asked for a crash slightly in advance.

I am not a fan of Hamilton in Verstappen. I know that every car fan has his own opinion to support their favorite driver, but for me, these differences of opinion also prove that this is the purest form of "racing event". Hamilton's position is sufficient for most defensive drivers to provide more space than Verstappen. Verstappen has a history of aggressive defensive driving. Considering their speed at the turn, it was too aggressive. His car showed that he was correcting the steering wheel because he was cutting to the apex when Hamilton was at a high enough speed. Verstappen did not provide enough space for how he tried to corner, did not consider Hamilton's power and his turning angle, or how other drivers in this turning history provided more space to avoid contact. Verstappen was risky defending at such a high speed, but it failed for him. This was an instant decision for both drivers. Horner and Wolf proved that they are politicians and not athletes by sending messages to the game director and post-game propaganda. As a racing fan, I appreciate this dual identity, but I am disappointed with punishment and disgusting political messages. Verstappen is also wrong as a young man. Criticizing Hamilton’s post-race celebration = exchange of drivers, I bet Verstappen won’t Did not ask as many questions about his competitors as Hamilton did.

F1oSaurus (@f1osaurus) July 19, 2021, 16:30

totally agree. How can you be so lack of self-reflection that they don't understand that such a thing will happen at some point. You can't keep driving with your blindfold, hoping that your opponent will always get out of the way. Especially when Hamilton finished moving.

Then for the hypocritical propaganda of his gangster fan base, when Verstappen almost put Hamilton on the wall in Spain, Horner was full of praise. Only Hamilton's car helped him avoid the bullet.

Especially when Hamilton finished moving.

It looks like you don't even bother to watch it again.

I must say-given Max's reputation for unyielding, I find it interesting for him, his fans and RBR to stand together. Of course, let us all forget that Max almost pushed Hamilton to the wall at the beginning, drove Hamilton off the track at Imola (I think it was a fair game), drove Bottas off the track at Monza, Baku drove Ricardo off the track, dived and bombed Hamilton in Spain, etc. After all, Verstappen is not a saint—I actually think Hamilton is too gentle—he gave Max his own medicine yesterday, but he didn't like it. Neither his fans nor his team have any. I am very happy that he is okay and will continue to play for the rest of the season.

P. Petterson (@petterson) July 19, 2021, 16:27

Max may be a competitive driver, but he has never given anyone a thrust of 280kmh, causing his body to bear 51g.

@petterson Well, if Hamilton did this on purpose, you might have a little bit-because he didn't, he didn't give points like Verstappen, and Verstappen's performance was worse. Now speaking of the basics-Vertstappen gave people a push in the example I gave-he even tried to glue Hamilton to the wall at a speed of 200+ kph in a few corners-so use your own logic Show your choice, Max actually did what you accused Hamilton of doing in the more dangerous track area. So you may want to reassess your prejudices.

Well, if Hamilton did it on purpose, you might make sense

Maybe this was not intentional, but at least in recent years, and even throughout his career, it was still a careless/dangerous move, not anything Max did. If you tell me which of his dangerous moves are worse than Lewis's, I would rather thank it because the debate will take place somewhere.

Wow, there are 260 comments in a day... This game attracted the audience in more than one way.

What impresses me is that people forget that under extreme pressure, these drivers will make decisions in an instant with almost no peripheral vision... When they hosted an F1 streaming event earlier last year, they participated in the race for the first time. The players are like crazy... If we put all of your keyboard men on today's F1 cars, this is exactly what we will get.

In addition, can we tell some more facts? The prejudice in so many posts is simply painful. For example, Max has always been positioned as an irresponsible rogue driver, while Hamilton is a clever and calm lair. The fact is that Hamilton has accumulated more penalty points than Verstappen in the past year.

I think this is why the other drivers did not hit their fingers on the wound. Even if it is clear that Lewis did cause the collision, we need to realize that such things are not uncommon at such high stakes. In any case, the battle between Lewis v. Max is on fire, that's for sure.

When he returned to the corner, Max could easily react similarly, all RBR teams laughed and enjoyed after Hamilton's DNF, nothing more. Everything is over, no need to speak.

he can. Just like the guy on the outside can lift it up as soon as he finds it, he retreats and instantly tightens, allowing him to clamp the rear wheel of the guy on the inside, and pierce his head into the obstacle first. I think it hurts a bit when you see this?

Considering that this is LH's fault, I think this punishment is a joke. Penalties should be a penalty, but it’s not because we all know that if Versttapen is not participating in the race and Bottas does his usual second driver job for the team, LH won’t have a problem in winning any race with a 10-second “free throw”. Rights granted at the start of the game. This has been the case since Rosberg retired. This time it was close because Leclerc was unexpectedly fast for whatever reason.
