You keep saying the same thing. Was purely a racing incident. Hamilton slowed as sainz did, so as he did not go into the rear of sainz.

We’re all McLaren fans but take your blinkered eyes and rose tinted spectacles off
It was indeed a racing incident but I expected much more from Hamilton as a racing veteran 7 times world champion to be looking around him. Lando was in his racing line and did nothing wrong here. It's not a matter of glasses or not. It's a fact.
Lando put his nose in a risky position, nothing to blame on Hamiltons part at all.

Reports of rain now, fingers crossed it intensifies!
Its just a 1st lap incident happens....

No need to blame anyone, Carlos slow downed.. so Hamilton slowed down, I would also partially blame Lando, but its all very hindsight if you look at the situation.

Those things can happen at the start of the race. But I can live with them happening when battling for 3rd rather than 15th!

You know sometimes we complain about Mclaren but on the other hand take a look at Ferrari. All these years they didn't do much better. Surely they were in higher positions many times but in Greece we say that the one who comes first is the best and the one who comes second is nothing. Mclaren did struggle all these years first with shitty Honda and then with mediocre aerodynamists and also not having the infrastructure up to date. All these add up. Ferrari on the other hand always had the best in place and infrastructure up to date only to fail hard. I think it's worse starting with the best car only to finish (greek idiom incoming) 3rd and full in sweat. Ferrari failed much harder than Mclaren in my opinion and each year they like to talk about the new championship winning car.

Will Red Bull ever lose two races this year cause if they don't that old record of the MP4-4 will break and I will hate if that happens cause Senna and Prost did that record fair and square.

No pace on this set of mediums. Others are more than a second a lap quicker
