Because Lewis doesn’t want to get into it with the cult of Max. He probably just wants to move on as does anyone here who isn’t the same 4 --- postersTFSA wrote: ↑21 Jul 2024, 18:45Lewis himself called it a racing incident.

He doesnt agree with Ted in the slightest (that Max wasnt going to make the corner).
Ted - he was never going to make that corner was he?
Or he knows he can scoring an easy political win because literally no one else but Verstappen will deny the reality of what happened.TFSA wrote: ↑21 Jul 2024, 18:45Lewis himself called it a racing incident.

By your own admission max pulled the same move in Austria and it went unpunished, that means the stewards have now set a precedent. Ironically it’s come back to bite max in the ass today.TFSA wrote: ↑21 Jul 2024, 18:42That's irrelevant. You still can't do it. You have to respect other cars on the track (and that goes both ways, Max didn't respect Lewis there either).
Lewis had picked the outside line. With Max coming on the inside, Lewis should have done a switchback instead, letting Max go deep. You can't just move into the inside line with a car coming there, especially not when moving under braking. Lewis had picked his line, and he didn't stick to it. He had every opportunity to take that corner in a different way.
No, but that's not relevant. You're not allowed to do what both Hamilton (and Max, in Austria) did whether the other driver divebombs or not.
In this case, Max can actually argue that the fact that he had to take evasive action was what caused the lockup. I'm not saying i agree - i think he would have locked up anyway - but you can't ignore that Hamilton did it.
The reality of what happened is that Lewis moved under braking and cut across the track. This is absolutely undeniable, and the analysis has already been done by people in this thread to prove it. The only people denying reality here are those that argue that this doesn't matter - it absolutely does.littlebigcat wrote: ↑21 Jul 2024, 18:48Or he knows he can scoring an easy political win because literally no one else but Verstappen will deny the reality of what happened.
Although I think the incident was primarily with Max, I am not sure Horner and Max are on the same side at the moment.
Incorrect. The FIA said after Austria that Verstappen should have been sanctioned in Austria (not necessarily a penalty, but a black and white flag also counts as a sanction). As such, Austria does not count as a precedent, because the FIA has specified that the rules were applied incorrectly.morefirejules08 wrote: ↑21 Jul 2024, 18:50By your own admission max pulled the same move in Austria and it went unpunished, that means the stewards have now set a precedent.

Only Max is being investigated. Hamilton is summoned to give his version of event, but the summon is for Max allegedly breaking the sporting code - so Hamilton is not under threat of losing his podium here.fritticaldi wrote: ↑21 Jul 2024, 18:57Both Hamilton and Verstappen are being investigated by the race stewards. . Lets see how they handle this, Something needs to be done or else the next races will be Nascar style.
