Vest diehards, if you think this is anything but Vest aggression then you have zero respect from me and you just have blind love/hate:

Switch the positions. Put Lewis into Max's car, and Max's into Lewis. Does Lewis make the corner and come out alongside Max? Heeeeellls No!

Lunatics to say that Max had deserved a gap.

Indeed so. That would have been much more load applied to the head and thus the neck "back in the day". Also, the halo helped to stop the edge of Max's floor coming across the cockpit.

Not going to say it saved his life but it certainly protected him from injury today. I bet his neck is sore tomorrow.
If you are more fortunate than others, build a larger table not a taller fence.

That's very selective. :wink:

The later frame shows HAM not leaving enough space to the apex, barely 10 inches, let alone a car's width.

Here are two later frames:

Complete rubbish. Vest had '0' right to be there. Vest already lost the corner. SHAME on you people. ! Alas FIA is in Redbull pocket so I expect only a 5 place grid penalty it actually requires a race ban. Clear as day and night.

Why was Max not penalised for Tamburello or Della Roggia ? He drove Lewis off the track. Please try and answer this without the usual biased bs.
Not at all. That was the same with Perez vs Leclerc, and it was Perez who was penalised for cutting the corner and gaining an advantage, not Leclerc.

Verstappen was able to make the corner, but wasn't left enough space to do so.

Lewis could have backed out of the corner.

It still hit Lewis on the head which is not good so these need developing further, maybe add more height because if that happens to George (one of the taller drivers) it could be death right there.

Holy cow.... Wow....

The Halo definitely did its job there. Still they'll have to look into better ways of preventing a wheel from intruding into the cockpit like that.
What worries me is that we have had at least two serious accidents (Grossjean and Hamilton) recently in which the halo saved drivers health and possibly even lives. Something has changed that such severe accidents happen. Maybe the cars are too powerful after all...
Roughly, Force = Weight x Speed. These heaviest cars in history strike things with 150%(ish) more force now than 2006.

Why would he be penalized for racing?
Please, the corner was Hamilton's.
How? If a car is "significantly alongside", it's a corner for both cars. Definitely not one car's when that car is coming from pit with colder tyres and brakes, missing the turn 1 apex.
When the inside car is ahead on braking, he is entitled to the racing line. If you don't agree with that, tell me why Verstappen was able to squeeze Hamilton off track at Roggia in Turn 1 (note: Verstappen was on the inside, and ahead under braking)?

Ban is maybe too harsh, but definitely some penalty

That is true.

If you make it higher though, does it mean they just make the bars thicker or will the clearance below it change? If they make that clearance bigger then you'd open up new risks from debris coming below the Halo (like in Massa's accident). If you make it thicker, then it starts affecting aerodynamics and CoG. Would have a lot to work on.

I was going to comment the same. Amazing that a few years ago there was a discussion of it was necessary. Now we see it preventing several severe injuries, or worse, per year.
I wonder also if risk taking has increased because drivers feel more protected.

Its that 'That's what you get.' comment from Verstappen. Yield to me or we will crash.

Interesting that he didn't even look back to see if Hamilton was hurt when walking off after parking his car on hid head. So much for all that stuff about showing compassion...

The whole thing is slightly chilling .
That's just disturbing. This was the same guy screaming how he was nearly killed and screaming for a race ban. Now he causes a collision, heavily suggesting it was intentional, literally drove over someones head while doing so, and then acts like nothing is wrong. If anything, this does sound like some very reasonable arguments for a race ban.
