I wonder what the general opinion would be on this incident if it happened now instead of round 1. Would Albon still be given as much slack for not using he room he had available, or gunning it while his rears overlapped with the other driver's fronts? His rapidly growing string of accidents paint his early ones in a different light too. Even when he isn't outright guilty, he exercises little to no hazard avoidance, and his poor spatial awareness is combined with an unreasonable amount of optimism. It's clearly a pattern now.

 

I think it's a snowball effect. Had he won in Interlagos last year, I think he would have been fine this year. But losing two possible wins in quick succession, then having pressure from all sides on your performances, means he's just getting more erratic and tries to overcompensate.

He's like the opposite of Kimi.

Albon wasn't even close to winning Interlagos last year.

Another race, another piece of evidence on the mound. Albon doesn't feel how far his car extends, either sideways or lengthwise. That's what this incident, and the half dozen since were all down to. Hamilton did nothing wrong.
