Re: Hamilton/Verstappen Brazil 22

Silverstone was the turning point for Lewis. Granted after that he had to yield in the last few races due to the points situation. This analysis is spot on, Max throws it up the inside with too much speed. Lewis these days is simply giving Max the same treatment back (uncompromising) Good on him ht...

Re: Hamilton/Verstappen Brazil 22

Hamilton made the exact same mistake as he did at Spa earlier this year with Alonso. When a car has over half an overlap on you and is on the inside, you can’t just expect them to disappear when you turn into the corner without leaving a car’s width there. If Hamilton had done what Verstappen did a...

The only thing I was surprised about was it wasn't a stop and go penalty, as even in real time ignoring the rubbish Brundle was saying it was obvious it was a deliberate accident in which Max knew he was never making the corner but was ready to crash which he later admitted post race. Don't know wh...

Chandhok showed that Max was never making that corner and even with Lewis acting as a brake he didn't make it. Given the 'safe and controlled' clause as well as the obvious that a move must be completed on track it clearly lands on Max. This post should be the end of the discussion. The fact Max en...

I'll start by saying that I came into this with the assumption that he had not done it deliberately, largely because it seemed a pointless thing to do merely to secure third position. I still believe that second part. However, I've now come to the conclusion that -- unfathomably enough -- Perez did...
