Well said, agreed. Thank you for taking the time to post this.
Think those rules might be too complicated.....Atleast for me, Max and Lewis...they keep getting it wrong.
I think they both know what they are doing and that's probably why they have no problem with eachother (yet). There's more animosity in this chat.
I agree but those rules are hard to police and even harder to explain to a majority of the F1 audience. Which leads to the animosity etc, etc, etc. If they would simplify it to "they have to leave room". Then it becomes easier to attribute blame. Right now it takes sometimes hours and tons of different camera angles, slow motion replay, etc,etc to get it right and still half the audience is left frustrated. Mostly cause they don't understand.
Silverstone clearly would have been Max's fault (Hamilton took away the racing line but left him space on the track). Monza would be clearly been Hamilton's fault. Also Hamilton would have probably been more willing to leave Max space on the outside knowing that if Max wouldn't have left him space on turn 2, Max would have been penalized.
Nope with current Regs Hamilton squeezes Max cause he thinks he can, legally, and to prevent from being squeeze at turn 2.
