Unless they really have some new, as yet unseen, revelation this really does seem a waste of time. I thought penalties cannot be overturned after being served. Or is this penalties that they received, not another team? This is getting petulant from RB now, but I'll probably wait for any new "signif...

Interesting developments on the diagram provided by Mercedes to the stewards at Silverstone in defence of Hamilton's move. Here is the diagram: https://scontent-lcy1-1.xx.fbcdn.net/v/t39.30808-6/220209071_210045274433908_2733492169013680693_n.jpg?_nc_cat=111&ccb=1-3&_nc_sid=730e14&_nc_ohc=eFHnw8qfI...

Being that Verstappen was ahead “AND” Hamilton had MORE THAN A SIGNIFICANT PORTION OF HIS CAR ALONGSIDE UPON ENTRY TO THE CORNER, it was Verstappen’s responsibility to MAINTAIN his line AND NOT cut across INTO the attacking driver. There isn’t any thy to debate on that front. Every other driver who...

This thread has turned into a hyperbole see-saw. Such extreme views on both sides. The truth resides somewhere near the middle. Haha absolutely! I think the poll accurately describe the situation.

Is it reasonable to assume that Hamilton ran wide out of Copse because his car was briefly destabilised by the contact? I would imagine Max's car would be more of a door stop rather than a magnet? Joking aside, I think the issue was the understeer, not the contact. Contact will always make that car...

This thread has turned into a hyperbole see-saw. Such extreme views on both sides.

Both drivers contributed to the incident, both could ha...

So just asking the question here. Corner speed aside & keeping in mind that at one point Hamilton was virtually level with Verstappen, by how much does this incident differ from Verstappens pass on Leclerc in Austria in 2019? Verstappen was slightly behind going into the corner the same as Hamilton...

Good points. If it's possible to extract him from his Merc contract would Russell take a Red Bull drive in 2022 or would he wait for Merc to see if they came back in 2023. On one hand the Merc drive is the better option. On the other there is no guarantee Merc won't pass on him again. RB are a 1 dr...

I have no qualms about calling Hamilton or any other driver out on their mistakes whenever they make them, but I can't recall the last time Hamilton made contact with another driver outside of Rosberg in Spain 2016 (...)

Russell to Red Bull A possibility, if Mercedes fails to offer him a seat at the big team again. I'm sure he doesn't have infinite patience. An interesting question?

Brundle mentions in his column: "This means likely 70/30 to blame but not wholly." Thank you, Siao7. It's an interesting column, though I can't see any of the clips used. Does Martin explain more in them? He indeed writes the quote to give above, but I find it intriguing (to say the least) that he ...

I think that regarding the rest of the post we just have different opinions on how to interpret the rules and I feel that it is a fair interpretation even though I disagree with it. However the stewards absolutely do have the option to differentiate between wholly and predominantly. George Russell'...

Hamilton lifted but not by the requisite amount to make the corner in the space Verstappen had given him. Which Hamilton felt wasn't enough. And he would be wrong. His move was ambitious and he wasn't going to make that move stick unless Max yielded, but why would Max yield to a corner that he will...

I don't know whether the stewards indeed have the option to make a distinction between predominantly and totally, but being 100% at fault is also predominantly I would say. Also, the stewards didn't explain whether they laid any responsibility for the accident with Verstappen. I think that regardin...

Don't you get me started!

I hope the FIA will never again show such spinelessness as they did in those two cases. That was shameful, and the cockiness we see today is still a result of their inaction then.

Couldn't resist!

According to Brundle: "I am told by Red Bull there is data to prove Lewis was significantly faster into Copse than at any other time and he would not have made the corner without running wide, and inevitably contacting Max." https://www.skysports.com/f1/news/24096/12359579/martin-brundle-analysing-a...

That's why I view it as a racing incident. Max was judging the space based on his own line - but Hamilton's natural line was wider, and Hamilton's understeer occurred because Max took this line - but could have anticipated this and angled his car accordingly. The more I look at the incident, the mo...

I don't think anyone expects an apology from Horner or Marko. Everyone knows the sort of people they are. But once brandishing someone a 'dirty driver' you can't use the excuse of in the heat of the moment after the moment has passed. You either stick with what you said it don't. But if you're stic...

The thing about heat of the moment comments is that you get to retract them later on when no longer heat of the moment. Red Bull have doubled down on them by hiring a lawyer.

Is it so unreasonable to think that senior figures in the sport (like Horner and Marko) throwing around some pretty extreme language and accusations could trigger worse abuse as a follow up?

Joe Saward's take: The key question beyond all the yapping and griping is whether Max will do the same again if the circumstances occur, or whether he will have learned that Lewis is not going to be shoved out of the way. A line was drawn in the sand, if you like… If Max does not take that onboard,...
