Nice reaction from Rowan Atkinson.

From the in car view Massa looked in his mirror twice then turned in.

He either thought he was far enough back that he could turn in, or didn't see him.

The overspeed from the pass attempt might have made it hard for Massa to judge.

You're basically saying it's impossible to out brake someone as the guy on the outside can ALWAYS turn in on them. They were side by side, Lewis applied the brakes ever so slightly earlier, and then Massa turned in on him. Other drivers manage to race like that all over the place without turning in on each other, Massa has history of turning in on Hamilton.

Lap 24
Replays show that Massa ran wide at turn one allowing Hamilton to close up. Battling together cost them both though. Hamilton attacks up the inside in to turn five and Massa turns in. Contact again and both go off. They continue - a broken front wing for Hamilton

I would say they have a history of getting in to each other...blame goes on both sides in various instances. How many other overtakes have you seen attempted into that corner? Massa was on the racing line and Hamilton was trying to make something of nothing, even if he got through on that line he never would have made the corner

I understand the whole racing line thing, but find it ridiculous when it's used to justify turning in on another driver or running them off the road.

It shouldn't matter how many other overtakes were attempted into that corner. Lewis got his car alongside, Massa turned in on him. Hamilton *would* have made the corner as he applied the brakes slightly earlier and was trying to carry less apex speed. Massa always intended to carry full racing speed into that corner regardless of anyone else being there, and turned in regardless.

I hope you're just mocking off ... From what I've seen it's a clean move by LH. Mass went too hard on him.
