Not when it’s clear there’s a driver with at least half a car length alongside!

Agressively, no, you can’t just turn in and hope for the best, but as I said, both at ‘fault’ but both racing the wheels off, which is epic

Is that post above from Max real? What a horrid little git.
It was good to see Lewis giving him a taste of his own medicine even though it was literally just racing.
I used to root for redbull when Ricardo was there but Horner and Max are insufferable. Still this should make for excellent pre and post race entertainment every race now

Unfortunately it’s real, hope he’ll regret it and delete, I suspect not though

Yea they are allowed to change damaged parts… brundle said just without the adding or removing of weight from memory. Cracked rim so it was replaced.
Someone already mentioned it earlier but the superglue and duct tape (probably better than the DIY stuff) made me laugh on the patch repair to Hamilton’s car

Think enough has been said of "the incident", lol. No worse than what Max did in the previous corners, cutting in and crowding out. He was pushing Lewis right up the pit wall just before "the incident". And then cut him up again. Only this time caught himself out.
It was only a matter of when. And could just as well have been Lewis pushed into the wall. Christian would have had no issue with that.
The Stewards had no choice. There was an accident, so there had to be a penalty. That's just how it works. And Max was a wheel in front, that's also just how it works. So the penalty had to go to Lewis. They went for the least they could. A stop and go would have been much worse. So clearly they didn't think much of it.
Other that that, pretty uneventful actually.
DotD: Charles. He took the chance and drove the socks off that Ferrari. So close too. Could have just played it safe and settled for second early on, but neither him nor the team did. Full Kudos!
Lewis recovery - wow. He was always getting past Norris and Bottas. But chasing down and passing Charles, that was mighty.
Good result for McL, great wee battle Ric and Sainz at the end.
Bottas did exactly what he was asked to do, solid drive following Lewis.
Perez the golden boy nowhere to be seen. Strange call to pit him right at the end.

How very RB of them 
When Vettel went up the "inside" of Alonso (who yielded) at copse in 2014.
Horner said, and I quote, "move of the race seb".
Thought you couldn’t and wouldn’t pass there
Oh Christian....
Scub sits back, says nothing & sniggers to himself reading the posts of people that think HE'S biased.....

Watching through YouTube. Fan footage just a few metres from the impact of were Max hit the tyres,
Holy molly the speed of it , you get a better perspective of just how fast these cars are going . Scary, all over in a second.

He should be President of FIA. His work ethic and experience would go along way.

Was clever actually IMO. Damage limitation.
i reckon Max has to hold his hand up for this one. It looked like Lewis was backing out of it but when max came across to the right rather than hold the line round the corner he took a gamble and lost. Very unlucky the tap affected his car the way it did but when you roll the dice you need to accept the outcome.
As for Hamilton celebrating he had just won his home GP for a record number of times AND broken the losing streak for Mercedes. So totally understandable especially when Max was clearly ok.
I’m a massive RB/Max fan and want them to win the championship but yesterday was fairly shameful imo. Especially from the Helmet

Actually, one thing that hasn't been mentioned - the crowds. What a difference they made to the spectacle! Throughout, but especially at the end when Lewis was chasing down Charles. Was brilliant!

Were there alot of posts deleted here or am I missing something?
Witholding my opinion, even if max yielded, he could have maybe caught him, got by on strategy or at worst finished 2nd and made the points loss much less. But alas, shame really.
Though if team orders weren't a thing, Hamilton wasn't going to win that, but the whipping boy rolled over again.

There’s nothing clear.
Hamilton is nowhere near alongside and off the racing line by the time they’re at the corner.
