Verstappen chopped hamilton. There is no denying that. Those in denial simply show their bias against hamilton and are happy to see him fail. I feel this is very unfair and partisan.

Verstappen chopped hamilton. You misunderstood Verstappen's actions. Had Verstappen chopped Hamilton, Hamilton would not have been able to dive into the space left on Verstappen's right.

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...

If that's what you think, you don't understand the rules, or racing etiquette.

Literally right until Rosberg hit Hamilton he could have avoided it but hit him on purpose which he has admitted. Really? I did not know that. Do you have a link to what he said? He admitted it to Wolff and Hamilton right after the race after which Hamilton blew his top and told the press what Rosb...

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.

Nothing wrong with '94, ask Fiki! It's '97 that was bad... Don't you get me started! :-P I hope the FIA will never again show such spinelessness as they did in those two cases.

In this morning's (UK) news Horner is being publically criticised by Lord Hain for his comments, which according to Hain, were responsible for triggering a ‘torrent of racist abuse’.

Nonsense Lord Hain; racists don't need an excuse for their idiocy, nor a trigger.

I've voted Hamilton at fault. Whilst he did get his car pretty much alongside Verstappen's on the approach to the corner he made contact due to a touch of understeer. Looking at the bigger picture, he played the percentage game where Verstappen did not. Similar to Barcelona earlier in the year wher...

interesting section from a BBC article: "What do the rules say?

These are not distributed publicly, but they have been seen by BBC Sport. They contain imag...

Was there really contact between Verstappen and Hamilton well before the accident? It's mighty close a few times, but I don't see any contact. What I find baffling, is that with all his speed, Hamilton took the bait and attacked where he did. From the lines he took prior to Copse, I expected Hamilt...

What did Verstappen do in the sixty seconds or so he was in the race to deserve driver of the day? Why, beat Hamilton, obviously. Didn't you notice?

Today, Hamilton finished a brilliant race start with a crash. Unintentional, I'm sure. But his fault, and his alone. I cannot agree "his fault, and his alone". His fault in part, certainly, but his alone, take this as one vote against that. Then please enlighten me; how much and how was Verstappen ...

Fiki

Easily Leclerc. The fact that Verstappen garnered any votes in this for just 60 seconds work underlines either just what a joke DOD polls are or just how deluded Verstappen fans are. DOD is a joke. It shouldn't be, but it has certainly become one. I'm not a Verstappen fan, and I see no reason to be...

After today, Verstappen no longer has that mental comfort that Hamilton will do the jumping out the way.... I agree, it'll be very interesting to see what happens next time they're wheel to wheel. I expect this will make Verstappen far more aggressive. This was one of the few times where he actuall...

Fiki

Maybe Max should have taken Leclerc's line too! Exactly. Lewis actually backed off a little bit that's why it looked like Max was ahead as they were taking the corner. Max turned in so he wouldn't go off track, leaving Lewis no room at all. I think it's bonkers that people are making this solely ab...

Without putting too fine a point on it, that flag waving by Hamilton is a bit rich today.

Fiki

Is it sour grapes to point out that a driver who caused an accident had to rely on a team order? Yes, it probably is.

Fiki

Did I just see someone wave a contract at Bottas?

that ferrari seems so good in dirty air. can easily drive closer to the driver ahead for longer than Mercedes can.

Good point. I think that isn't simply by accident.

Jesus H. Christ fellas, it's a racing incident. You all sound like the Sky sports network numbnuts blasting "BLAME" around instead of accepting the fact that racing is a competitive sport and driver's are only human and therefore "not" always perfect. For me it’s how their battles have been playing...

I wonder whether this penalty was arrived at before or after the restart.

If this was two mid field cars, you would all be saying racing incident. Max didn't give an inch, Lewis didn't either so was always going to end in an accident
Precisely.

But surely we also all remember how Hamilton considered Rosberg to be responsible when they had similar incidents?

Stewards need to decide on this before the race restart.

I wonder what the problem is. Surely they've had time enough by now? They're not Race Control, so they're not involved in the business of getting everything ready for the restart.

Fiki

I don’t think it’s possible to make the apex at Stowe if you are on the inside. Lewis had too much speed to back out of there and he was almost fully alongside. Max could have taken a wider line. Racing incident in my view but max should learn that he can’t boss his way around Lewis all year long. ...

Fiki

Interesting to see the slow onboard from Max. As Max turns in, Lewis' front wing is level with the front wheel of Max's car so pretty much alongside. I was just thinking that according to the rules, Max had to stay at least one car's width from the lefthand side of the track. I wonder how many fans...
