Hamilton should get a penalty of some sort for that. He's clearly not ahead of Verstappen there.

alchemist33 · 18-07-2021 02:15PM

Has nobody asked Cruise and Ford's opinion on the incident? What the hell are the media at?

Punted Max off the track.

You can't overtake that shallow on that corner while off the racing line.

Didn’t give Max enough space in the corner to get back to his racing line. Hamilton was super aggressive, and overly risky IMO.

18-07-2021 02:16PM

Whatever the penalty he's still pretty much nailed on for 2nd if Mercedes can't get Bottas out of the way.

Hamilton sold Verstappen a nice little dummy just before contact though. Clever driving by Hamilton and great battle in general prior to contact.

Vicxas · 18-07-2021 02:16PM

Perez got 2 5 seconds penalties for much, much less

Nice to hear Jenson Button calling it as it is there.

quokula · 18-07-2021 02:16PM

I’m struggling to think of a more viciously dangerous manoeuvre in all the 30 years Ive watched F1 than taking someone out at copse like that.

HAHAHA. So racings not allowed in F1 anymore? Its a fight for the championship and honestly best action I have seen all year. Its a shame how it ended and I am guessing Lewis gets a time penalty but DQ lol.

Senna and Prost comes to mind

namloc1980 · 18-07-2021 02:17PM

Has to be a penalty. Hamilton was never in the leading position.

It was his fault. More viciously dangerous in 30 years ffs when drivers have actually intentionally taken other drivers out in that timeframe.

The dramatics here is unbelievable.

Itssoeasy · 18-07-2021 02:18PM

It’s under investigation. And according to sky Christian Horner is talking to race director and not surprisingly is defending his driver.

walshb · 18-07-2021 02:18PM

What’s the craic with Horner and the race director conversation? Is that meant to happen?

Yeah it did, not quite as fast or dangerous as Copse but very similar driving from Senna, those cars were a lot less safe in those days of course. Without the Halo that tyre would have killed Max.

Perez got 2 x 5 second penalties and Lando got 1 x 5 second penalty.

Neither put a rival in the wall at top speed.

Hamiltons front left hit Max right rear

devnull · 18-07-2021 02:19PM

Very surprised to see the cheer that went up when Verstappen crashed

MadYaker · 18-07-2021 02:19PM

Ah here they still haven't moved the bloody car

tanko · 18-07-2021 02:20PM

Webber making pathetic excuses for Hamiltons disgraceful behaviour, he’s so biased.

if Verstappen did that to Hamilton I can only imagine the reaction from Webber.

PsychoPete · 18-07-2021 02:20PM

There should be no doubt in anyones mind that's a penalty

Sky saying there could be a battery issue, as in the car might be live.

well we know that the heads of teams talk to the race director so yes it’s meant to happen.

antodeco · 18-07-2021 02:20PM

I was wondering why Ham didn't put. Obviously knew it was going to be a red flag, and he would've been in last place for the restart, so wait for the red flag and fix the car when in second place.

klose · 18-07-2021 02:20PM

Some pressure on the race directors to decide what to do with Hamilton here, racing incident or dangerous driving? He was never in the lead going into the corner.

namloc1980 · 18-07-2021 02:21PM

https://boards.ie/discussion/comment/117627767#Comment_117627767

Yes of course. All teams have a direct line to the race director.

ASOT · 18-07-2021 02:21PM

Is Webber blind?

skipper_G · 18-07-2021 02:21PM

People suggesting this is anything other than a bad overtaking attempt are talking crap, no way it was a deliberate attempt to take him out. Just a racing move, a bad one

bennyx_o · 18-07-2021 02:21PM

I'm no Hamilton fan, but to call him a cheater is a but much. I highly doubt Hamilton went out to take Max out and risk his own race in doing so. To me it was 2 drivers racing all out

In saying that, Max left Hamilton more than enough room and Hamilton didn't look like he was making the apex. Hamilton at fault yes, but hardly a cheater.

PsychoPete · 18-07-2021 02:21PM

I really like that we can hear the fia radio
