Poll: British Grand Prix 2021, Silverstone - Race 10/23

[IronSpider]

Hamilton didn't have a great view of the corner because Verstappen pretty much squeezed him into the barrier and he was only sighted at the last minute.

Are you even watching the footage? Have you even seen the space Hamilton has.

With that standard of driving was going to end in tears

 

[Nasher]

I don't think Lewis had anywhere to go by the time he saw him. Verstappen flew past mid corner under braking.

 

[mmj_uk]

Hamilton gone to the Mercedes toilet to celebrate.

 

[XeNoN89]

I reckon that's a 50:50.

Max should remember “you can’t win a Grand Prix on the first lap, but you can lose it” lol

Hamilton radio - I was ahead going in there man.

Pit - Yeah, copy Lewis.

Hamilton - Fully alongside, it's my line. But he turned in on me man.

Pit - Yeah, copy that Lewis. We just reviewed the video.

Hamilton - I was giving that guy space.

It’s not a suprise that max is there though, he know: max will be on the outside of the corner and he hits his front wheel to the rear of max, so he wasn’t in front.

 

[Psycho Ned]

That all happened in like a millisecond, very hard to say who was to blame. We'll be arguing about that on here for the next however many weeks/months

Blue peter job on Hams wing!

 

[Mr Jack]

Max's fault, imo. But also Max not playing the long game. Likely going to cost him dearly.

 

[Emlyn_Dewar]

Well, that was an exciting first lap. I felt Max shouldn't have even been in the position. Should have conceded and given 1st to Hamilton after his extremely wide, off track driving.
Leading the championship, he shouldn't be driving as desperately as this.

I feel it'd be fair to call the accident a racing incident. Horner on the radio whining... I don't think so.

You can't expect him to be hugging the apex when he can't even see the corner, if Max hadn't tried to squeeze him into the barrier he would have had a better view.

 

[fez]

Bit stupid from them both honestly. Hamilton has always been very good at knowing when to back off when he needs to for the title race. Something Max needs to learn. It doesn't matter if you are in the right if you are not in the race anymore. He was very aggressive at the start and Hamilton was never going to let him keep doing that.

That looks like a very technical fix to Hamiltons car!

 

[Flibster]

Turn 9 incident involving Verstappen and Hamilton under investigation - causing a collision.

Interesting wording, usually the driver listed first is the one under investigation...

 

[muon]

It's worth noting, I think a more experienced driver will have known there was no need to gamble with his massive lead.

 

[Journey]

I thought this was called motor racing, the key being the word racing! No ones fault at all.

 

[deuse]

Russell got a penalty for something like this.

20 second penalty for him.

What? Hamilton chose to go there.

 

[mjt]

Waaaambulance for Christian Horner.

 

[adam cool dude]

Max should remember “you can’t win a Grand Prix on the first lap, but you can lose it” lol

Pretty much this. Prost would have backed out of that one and recovered. It is all about the points. If Hamilton wins all that hard work from the past races is basically finished and Max cannot cope with the pressure because he's not an intelligent racer.

 

[mmj_uk]

Channel 4 got Christian Horner on lobbying for a penalty.
