Fill yer boots.

Hamilton left no space.
Max was too optimistic.
*ducks*

[Disgrace]

Neither gave an inch, it was inevitable.

[Scotracer]

Made me laugh anyway.

[MJB5990]

Max 100%.

He's never all the way alongside. Unlike Lewis on lap 1.

[PayasYouRace]

Made me laugh anyway.

Me too.

[cheekybru]

Max 100% ridiculous move

[Montie]

Saw it coming. But it’s a racing incident.

[Marklar]

Hamilton gave enough space, just. Max went too hot in, but the contact created a bigger incident than it deserved.

I wouldnt penalize him though.

[Requiem84]

I think this one is on Max.

I expect a grid penalty for the next race.

[Lipp]

If you no longer go for a gap....

[sabjit]

Max's fault, Hamilton only defended the same as Max did on lap 1

[TheFish]

Max’s fault. Should have bailed like he made Lewis do on lap 1.

[PayasYouRace]

Very much the definition of a racing incident. Two drivers, and only room for one.

[cheekybru]

Max will get a grid penalty that won't mean anything because he will change engine at same time

[Kev00]

I don’t think Lewis did anything wrong. I think it was fine for Max to go for that but the nature of the corner just makes it all a mess. Just one of those comedy moments

[Diablobb81]

Racing incident between two hot heads. Great entertainment.

[ensign14]

Verstappen shoved Hamilton off on lap 1 and didn't get a penalty.  Unlike Ocon on Vettel.

 

This is always going to happen when Verstappen doesn't get penalties for driving like a ****.  Send the thug back to Belgium for a month.

Fill yer boots.

I reckon this’ll get to 50 pages by tomorrow evening

[peroa]

Max 100%.

He's never all the way alongside. Unlike Lewis on lap 1.

Yep, and instead of avoiding the incident as HAM did, he kept his foot in.

[SenorSjon]

I wouldn't touch it with a large pole if I was a steward.

If you try it, you couldn't replicate such a bounce of the tires/kerbs.

[NewMrMe]

Hamilton defended in exactly the same way Max defended the Rosier chicane on lap 1.

 

So either.

- Both defensive moves were harsh but fair and Max should have backed out the same way Hamilton did on lap one.

- Or both have been unduly aggressive in their defending and both warrant some form of action,

I blame the sausage kerb.

[A3]

Thank god for the halo.

[Scotracer]

It's a legitimate overtaking location. Racing incident but towards Hamilton not leaving enough space.

[JHSingo]

Here we go again... 

[Ev0d3vil]

Good luck mods, 100 pages for this till Russia.

[pacificquay]

Shades of Monza 1995 in terms of the drama.

 

Probably a racing incident.

[George Costanza]

Racing incident. But I think Max just got a little too ambitious there. The accident was like Michael Schumacher and Damon Hill in 1994.

[Scaboo22]

Lewis gave 0 space, Max was bound to touch the bumpers and get catapulted into LH. Both won’t give an inch so this will happen at least once more until the end of the season.

Great entertainment though, this is how a real rivalry unfolds.

[Marklar]

I blame the kerb

[Clrnc]

Racing incident. Both tried their best to avoid each other.

[peroa]

Hamilton gave enough space, just. Max went too hot in, but the contact created a bigger incident than it deserved.

Why not? he oculd’ve avoided the incident like Lew did on lap 1.

[Pits]

I say it's a race incident, but if any it's Lewis who could have given some more space.

Max earned some more space there

[geralt]

Racing incident 100%, Max went for an optimistic move but that's his right.

Edited by geralt, 12 September 2021 - 14:31.

[KeithD68]

Max at fault clear as day

 

There is only a single racing line through that right left corner, the idea Lewis should leave room for 2 cars is plain stupid

Edited by KeithD68, 12 September 2021 - 13:53.

[Astandahl]

More on Max than Lewis this time.

[MJB5990]

Max should have been cutting T2 like Lewis cut T5.

[TheFish]

Hamilton defended in exactly the same way Max defended the Rosier chicane on lap 1.

So either.
- Both defensive moves were harsh but fair and Max should have backed out the same way Hamilton did on lap one.
- Or both have been unduly aggressive in their defending and both warrant some form of action,

Given the stewards did nothing on lap 1, the answer by consistency should be the first option.

[Ali_G]

Racing incident. The curbing made it look crazy.

[Lennat]

Looked like Max's fault at a first glance, but after a few replays it does look like Lewis should have left a bit more space.

[Disgrace]

Pretty funny that it took both pit crews to make a mess of their pitstops by just the perfect amounts to put them together on track. Bravo to all.

[PlatenGlass]

It was the same as the other way round on lap 1. So no big deal. Racing incident.

[F1 Mike]

The kerb didn't help, but the bad pitstop definitely gave max the red mist a little as well I suspect

[Jordan44]

Probably a racing incident, any other time he would have gone across the sausage kerb and been fine however the way he bounced across it caused the incident.

[peroa]

It was the same as the other way round on lap 1. So no big deal. Racing incident.

It wasn’t really, HAM cut the chicane to avoid an incident like this.

[Currahee]

Both not giving an inch. As racing should be. Racing incident for me.

[absinthedude]

Max was never ahead, barely alongside so was Lewis at any point obliged to leave space? 

 

Just glad Hamilton is OK after that. Possibly a life saved by the halo. That was scary. 

 

Ultimately probably a racing incident. Neither driver wanted to cede. But I reckon Max could have done more to avoid contact.

[SenorSjon]

I blame the kerb

I would give the kerb a penalty.

Will the 18 inchers bounce less?
