Complete bull$%^& move from Hamilton, that isn't a champion's move, he destroyed Verstappen's car, if he gets away with that this sport is a joke.
This.

Max not wanting to give up caused that one.
Why give it up, they are side by side. I thought that was the whole issue in Austria. If side by side then you HAVE to leave a space for the outside car.

I’m sorry it’s not his corner

Hmm looking at this objectively, Lewis did put the squeeze on on the left. There was certainly more space to the right but it would have meant slowing down. That was ugly and extremely tight. 2 cars should have come around that corner
what, lol.. No mate. Max literally went into Ham.

He was infront, line was his to take. Lewis needs to get a penalty - atleast a drive trough. Everybody else got it so far with such manouver. If he doesnt get a penalty, this will be a big stain for Masi.
Nobody got a drive through so far, just 5s time penalties.

It's really difficult, he was alongside, but it was a absolute biggest ballsy move ever with huge risk. Reminds me of max before 2018. I think the stewards will give a penalty purely because of what it means for the championship.

Lewis hit him from behind. Said himself he was 'locked up' on the radio.

I think Verstappen should have yielded there. He took a wide line into copse. If Verstappen would have made the corner he would have ran wide

I can’t really see it as much more than a racing incident. You see worse most races, but this one had a very dramatic result. There was room round the outside, but you wouldn’t be surprised if there was a penalty coming.

If there is a penalty it will be a mild one.

This is a 'win' for Hamilton no matter what now.

Wtf Hamilton. This was planned by Toto. Dsq for Hamilton is appropriate. Hope max is unhurt.
I figured you'd be the first person on the forum complaining! You're so biased you can't even see that Max turned in.
He was infront, he needed to make the corner. Should he drive off the track for Sir Lewis? Its not the first time Lewis did this manouver. Penalty should be given.
If i would get the money to start my own F1 team, i would revive Arrows

Actually watching the replay, I don't think Max would have made the corner anyway. Not without running incredibly wide.
Totally not. Verstappen was coming “towards the inside” to make the corner fine. Hence the touch. He would have made that corner.

If Hamilton doesn’t get a penalty - and therefore, for the second time this season, gets to fix the self-inflicted damage on his car for free under a red flag - that just plain b.s. and unfair.

Obvious mistake from Hamilton, the Mercedes slipped into Verstappen. Should give him a penalty because he took out his championship rival.

Looked ok to me. Racing incident. I think Max probably could have not turned in as quick, but that would have only delayed the inevitable as Hamilton would have drifted out to the edge of the track on exit.

Shame, as they both left each other heaps of room through a lot of corners prior to that. They were both trying to play hard but fair I think. Dunno if MAx thought he already had HAM covered.
