I agree the longer they pressed him about it, the more he sounded less convinced to what he is saying

the difference here is Leclerc is already ahead on the outside. He's claimed the corner so Norris needs to give more room.
It's the other way around for Hamilton and you can't go around the outside when the next turn is left, Lewis is always going to move across back into him.

I can’t be arsed arguing this anymore, I don’t even like Max

If the stewards see it the same as Silverstone.
What sort of pen to they give, grid drop or a time pen during the race ?

Damon Hill spot on. Max knew that he had to take Lewis out.
Lewis has backed out of similar situations even in this race, also Imola.
Max was hot headed after his poor pit stop and it impacted his judgement.
You know of Horner is only making a case for a racing incident but not blaming Lewis, Max is predominantly to blame.

Max should've yielded. Problem is that he never does and never has. Incidents like this are littered across his short career.
If it was any other rider Max would've ceded his positioning imo, but he's not giving up anything to Hamilton. I think it's his fault but not that egregious either.
Feck Verstappen though. He's such a baby a lot of times (tbf so is Lewis but I like him a bit more).

I agree with Damien Hill. He either meant to take him out or had a serious brain fart.
If I’ve seen that silverstone incident I don’t remember it
feck sakes, go back to the NFL thread! Use the run off like Hamilton did in this very same race against the very same driver in turn 4 earlier on.This thread
For what? I'd love to know what people expected Max to do? He didn't have the space which resulted in him hitting the curb. He didn't try to hit Hamilton or anything, was bounced into him.
Such immature driving. Max was behind all the way, not ahead at any point in that chicane. He had to yield.
The same people calling for Lewis's head at Silverstone, when at times in that Silverstone corner, Lewis was ahead, are now claiming this is only a racing incident. Ridiculous.
After all the noise about Riccardo not settling in quickly....
He's definitely struggled this year and he admits that. Today he was good though.
He will struggle again though on other tighter tracks with more braking zones, but lets hope this is the start of a change for him.
I thought every Belgium and Holland rally behind Max.
I don't think the Norris / Le Clerc incident is the same. Don't think you can apply normal corner rules to a chicane either. Don't care too much because I'm not a big fan of either driver but I do reckon Verstappen is more to blame here.
I see the UK cry babies are still here!
This is a very level-headed way to react to a driver changing their mind about something after it saves lives.
Surely it's a good thing he changed his mind after seeing it work? Or should he continue to think its bad?
Ok mateI see the UK cry babies are still here!
Such drama, great stuff.
Totally agree.
OH Behave , no cry babies in here today, the discussion has been pretty decent, well it wasI see the UK cry babies are still here!
Yep, if you're not sure about something before it's implemented, then you must continue to be against it even after it's demonstrated to be a good thing. Because if there is one thing we don't have enough of in this world, it's people doubling down on wrong opinions.
There you go. Spells it out clearly.

You ok mate? finally accepting Max is a wreckless driver?I see the UK cry babies are still here!
That was funny.Loved that bit where Toto celebrates Bottas overtaking then realises he didn’t make it stick.
Damon Hill, former world champion
Same. I'd say today was 60-40 Max's fault.
plenty were against it at first, including Max and Seb all changed their minds, are they all pricks also !
His Belgian connection + the fact that most F1 fans I know are tired of Lewis winning means that they want Max to win yeah. I don't particularly dislike him or anything but it's true that such incidents aren't isolated cases throughout his career, he needs to be a better decision-maker at times and realize that he's not racing alone, no one is gonna give him anything and that he might be playing with his opponent's safety sometims. Not saying Lewis is exempt from those things, but imo it seems like Max is more involved in stuff like that and that's just a pity.
They both are. I'm not fan of neither of them.There you go. Spells it out clearly.

reckless? i wouldn’t call landing your car on someone’s head, then trying to accelerate off their head, then getting out of the car without even checking on that person’s head, reckless.
Max always had the choice of bailing out of the move and going again another lap.
I don’t think Lewis had another choice.
I don’t think Lewis had another choice.
I think if max was going into anyone else he would have bailed but he benefited from taking out Lewis
Correct.
Did he know though? Its not like the cars have rear camera or big mirrors to see where his rear end hit Hamilton car.
So you suggest he thought his car was levitating?
of course he knew, what did he think his car was resting on so far up , his ego !
OH Behave , no cry babies in here today, the discussion has been pretty decent, well it was
People were saying Max tried to kill Hamilton. That’s not a decent discussion.
Who said that?
I was working only thing I have seen is just reply of the crash.... I'm not suggesting anything, just asking a simple question.
