Wild!
Imagine the heat coming off that tyre so close to your head!
When Max tried to drive back off the car after it had come to a stop, Lewis must have absolutely shit himself!

i think he should have had the tip of his pinky cut off.
Pretty sure Max will take his engine penalty at Russia too.
Given the Silverstone penalty, this is probably about right.
I still maintain both should be seen as racing incidents. I am very glad Hamilton is okay, and he has two weeks to recover.
Best F1 season for years.
I dont care for Mercedes or Verstappen but this is what F1 should be like.
Both teams are showing the pressure.
Biggest problem with F1 is the inconsistancey when the penalties get handed out.
Well done McLaren.

kind of feels like it wouldnt matter to redbull as rumours were they were going to change engine at sochi anyway
a bee in his bonnet about what? he is a decent bloke who has driven F1 and has an opinion.
What’s him being a decent bloke got to do with anything, I never said otherwise.
I think he was wrong talking about this and glad hill pulled him up on it or disagreed with him
have a google of Paul di resta Hamilton.

He kept on accelerating too whilst his car's nose was in the sand. Video in last page, madness.
I think that's fair.
3 place grid drop, I think pretty much odds on RB will take their new engine at Sochi, meaning the penalty is null and void really.
If they do FIA might take a dim view if it and say, the penalty will taken at the race after.

Damon Hill suggested max knew what he was doing and did it on purpose to protect his lead in the championship. His words not mine.
bit confused why Mercedes pitted Hamilton on lap 26. Surely on the hards he could have ran longer then been very strong at the end.
would 27 laps on the mediums not been pushing it a bit?

Interesting they went with a penalty, similar to Silverstone but worse for Red Bull as they can’t apply a time penalty. The point that other drivers avoided similar crashes by taking to the escape road/bumps including his team mate probably swung it. Almost certain that he takes the new engine then surely? I can’t remember how Russia is for overtaking though.
Track position I imagine, if they didn’t make the mistake in the pit-stop for that extra second or two they would’ve come out ahead of Norris. The others on newer tyres probably would’ve closed any gap after another lap.
Max's 11 second pitstop pretty much forced their hand as they should have got out clear of Max if they didn't have a poor pitstop too.
That was ridiculous, in real time I could not believe I could still see his rear wheels spinning
That suprised me as well. You would have thought they would go long +10 laps to give lewis fresher tyres after his stop to challenge those in front of him.
How big a penalty is an engine? I thought it was only 10 places. If so wouldn't that mean he would have a 13 place penalty?
Ah, this must be a still image from Max's helmet cam?
Yes, but they may go for more components. From memory Russia has low tyre wear so they could make up a good points finish given the strength of the car on a one-stop.
i get that, but surely 27 laps on the mediums was pushing it.
Had he gone another 6-7 laps he would have had a big advantage on fresh mediums.
Bottas was flying on the mediums until they went off.
As Max was climbing out of his car Lewis tried at least twice to reverse out from under him, after he's out of his car and walking alongside the Merc Lewis tries yet again to reverse out.
Could Max have said/done something to acknowledge Lewis in that situation, sure, but if you're 2m away from someone who is repeatedly trying to get back on track and continue racing I'm pretty sure the reasonable conclusion is that the guy is fine and a thumbs up from him at that point isn't that crucial.
If I lack humanity for holding that opinion then so be it.
Interesting. He does seem to oppose Hamilton on most issues.
I didn't know this about Anthony Hamilton thanks.

Thought it was back of the grid, with the other stuff they have to chance, Bottas and Gasley today were back of the grid.
That would be giving a good lead in the championship to Lewis and as they were saying some of the remaining races might be cancelled.
No - but then it wasn't Max that said this was an "awkward low speed crash" was it?
How many laps did Max do on the medium tyre? I thing it was plausible to get around on a set of mediums.
he is there to give his opinion.
you dont have to agree with it, but he is hardly a nobody.
I think conceding a lead will be inevitable as they need a new engine, and last year Mercedes was very strong in Russia so this could be the best place to take the penalty yet minimise the points loss?
They are the worst of the big boys and the 2 boys are holding there own, next year should be interesting, with there new power unit and chassis, with Ferrari basically saying feck this year putting everything into next season, hopefully they will be able to compete next year and the Hammerheads and Maxists will have the Tifosi coming at them
Team Red Bull is a bunch of pricks. It starts with the principal and spreads down the chain. Christian Horner is the antithesis to gentleman of sport. He wants to win at any costs and I question his morality. Horner and Verstappen is to me a bad combination. I can imagine Horner encourage Verstappen to drive like an a…., and his uncritical support of Verstappen is like throwing petrol on flames.
they were all struggling on the mediums come the end...... around 24 laps i would say.
I just thought with Mercedes starting on the hards they could have gone 30-32 laps and had a big advantage on the mediums till the end.
It's actually impressive how every post you manage to describe yourself in the insults you use to describe others. It's like you're the embodiment of irony.
It isn't moral grandstanding to think that Max should care about other drivers, its something that we should all see as a basic requirement to being allowed on the track.
They could have. I just think they expected to come out in the lead and it proved hard to overtake at the front of the race.
