The "sir" intentionally hit Max Verstappen from behind. It's like what Schumacher did in 1997. Should have been an immediate black flag! That's crazy!
Are you on drugs or something? Hamilton has a lot more to lose than gain by crashing into Verstappen.

And to top it all off Verstappen just walks off the podium. Someone seriously needs to have a word with him about his conduct.

Summoned to the stewards as well now.

It looked more like Hammi wasn't told yet he could pass....
I agree.
Masi is the issue. He is unfortunately out of his depth, and should be replaced asap. He is NOT biased but incompetent.
Yes, it was total radio silence for Hamilton when Max slowed on that straight. Given how many VSCs there were before, it was not strange that Lewis couldn't understand what happened. And of course Max dangerous driving all the way through. Hard to know what to expect.

I'm seriously happy he got punished today. This sort of behaviour has no place in F1. All the talk about him not feeling any pressure just blew out the window today. He knows the championship is almost gone now, and he resorts to these tactics. Horrible. And most of all a big shame, since he is supremely talented when it comes to pace and car control otherwise.

Is this F1?
I mean, it was always dirty, but....
Anyway, MV took what he deserves for years of bullying.
LH pro ed that he is much more cold blooded than MV and definitely knows how to read a race.
Mercedes, what the hell are they doing? The whole weekend were below F1 standard.
LH pushed MV out as a pay back, understandably.

I don't say anything about the passing MV because I am not 100% sure it was illegal, but the RB's response says it was.

WDC will be decided in an all or nothing race, just like FOM wanted.

Max walks off the podium without the usual driver celebrations.

FIA is sold to mercedes. All one sided decisions. Why other teams are racing in formula 1. With a biased authority this kind if farce we get as fan. I still do not understand why redbull did not go on hard. I wanna wipe that smirk from toto's face.
Are you not even the least bit disturbed about the driving standards?

He is being called to the stewards for brake checking, so it's a slam dunk fact, they have the braking traces they can see an event that doesn't fit with the sporting code.

You can't blame merc for mac's poor driving

I would hugely prefer there is never another F1 race at this track. Not fit for purpose.
I think this was a temporary track? When they come back a purpose built track will be the venue? I could be wrong as I did read this here on this forum :)
Let’s hope that’s the case. They have all the money in the world to make a top notch facility rather than this place.

I'd be surprised if the stewards gave Verstappen a penalty for the turn 27 incident as the FIA, I'd say, the most to blame for that. Bad communication over the radio from everyone.

Crazy seeing journalists openly saying Max crossed the line and that they're hoping he doesn't win the title now.

That's how far Max has fallen today with his conduct/racing.

I respected Max going into today. Not anymore.

And HAM did it again, now without the bending RW (top speed delta was just 4km/h in his favour) but most of all without the use of the magical squat rear suspension trick ...

Fast forward to the next week`s race it could be BOT having nothing to lose that will set up his car more for the qualy as VER did here ...

VER needs to learn how to accept defeat and winning. Spoilt little boy!
