I assume they will have all the telemetry so if they are summoning him then I'd guess there is potential for punishment as if the telemetry showed nothing they wouldn't summon him?

In the latest episode of the United Hour Podcast, Nik (@Rood) is joined by CEO Duncan Drasdo and Financial Director Andy Green from the Manchester United Supporters Trust for a special episode on all things behind the scenes at Old Trafford including a brief history of MUST and their aims today, views on INEOS and Sir Jim Ratcliffe so far, and the Old Trafford regeneration.
Hamilton said he didn't know Verstappen was told to let him by so he was confused about what was happening.
There'll be no punishment for Max for that

Lewis’s onboard, looks a lot like Max braked to me.
Max is like spoiled child, he simply won't ever accept being in the wrong.
So confused by all this from my limited knowledge.
I think this is a bit of a storm in a tea cup. Doesn't look obviously like brake testing imo.

Racing incident. Move on.
reasons why hamilton probably didn’t want to just sweep passed him;
has no vision ahead, could have been an accident or debris
worried that max is braking on a straight with no warning, completely out of the norm.
Is he going to try and put him in the wall? etc

Di Resta can be so stupid sometimes. He just said why wouldn't Lewis pass him? Because he wanted DRS Paul. I will never understand how he got a Sky pundit deal, he so mundane.
As much as I want Max to win it, Hamilton has got this. Car is so much better these last few races. Exciting season though.
Who the fcuk votes for these drivers of the day. What a dirty tw@t Max is. Poetic justice served.
hes braking on a straight that’s usually 180mph+ no wonder hamilton is confused at that moment.
it seems he expects him to suddenly speed up but then brakes even more
I don’t see why the sky crew are so confused about why Hamilton didn’t go past?
Hamilton didn’t know Max was going to let him past. In that context it’s obviously confusing if the car in front is suddenly slowing down because you don’t know why. So you might be thinking something might have happened up the road? It’s not usual for a car to suddenly go slow, so without knowing he is letting you past, naturally you’d have no idea what was going on?

very good points
If they think Max break tested Lewis and I think he did, they cant not give him some sort of penalty.
If they dont it again send out the wrong message.
I really dont want them to.

Can't wait for the next Netflix season to come out. Will be hard not to skip to the episode about this race.
Shouldn't they tell the guy behind what's happening first? It seems stupid to tell the one who has to slow down first.
in no way was it a racing incident.
Isn't that with all drivers though? Can't remember Hamilton being in the wrong his whole career as well.
Yeah whatever happens that farce shouldn't settle the title
He also doesn’t know what side he’s moving! He sways both ways in the middle of the road…granted very slowly…I don’t get why that’s being missed!
I'd like to agree with that but rules are rules. Only max would have himself to blame for driving so recklessly.
Look at the last two races, his driving is disgusting. I would not at all be surprised if he did brake check Lewis (not saying he did).
I missed that. What do you mean?
maybe if you could trust max as a driver then you wouldn’t have to second guess his intentions at all times and you could just sweep by him? a win at all cost mentality comes with cost.
Yeah, I think so too. Even with the track layout changes in Abu Dhabi, I tihnk Mercedes will have the upper hand. Red Bulls should be faster in the twisty parts, but last year Mercedes had older power units, and Red Bull had fresh ones. This year Mercedes have quite fresh power units for Abu Dhabi.
Unless they crash into each other of course.
He slowed down to let Hamilton by. He picked that spot so he could get DRS.
Hamilton didn't know he was told to let him by so he was confused about what was happening.
There was plenty of room for Hamilton to do the overtake.
There'll be no penalty
Slowing in the middle of the track, swerving and then braking hard. But the car behind is supposed to be telepathic and know what is going on!
This is the attitude the stewards etc have taken, which is basically just enabling Max to consistently go too far, as nobody is willing to punish him as it might affect the championship.
It'll be the same excuse here, there won't be a penalty.
Looking at slow motion Max drifts into the middle of a very narrow section to "allow" Lewis by. It only opens up after contact. I suspect Lewis has no idea and was in the middle of planning his overtake and then attempted to slow but was too late. Dirty by Max, error by Lewis.
Let's not forget Lewis was just back from Covid too and absolutely shagged post race. There was a rumour that Mercedes ran a lower spec in the last race to simulate 2021 conditions too but not sure that's confirmed.
It's going to be close.
Honestly Merc as a team are getting more and more unlikeable. I understand people not liking Horner, he whines a lot yeah, but Merc aren't much better.
Agree with this. Though I think the dirty stuff from Mercedes (both Bottas and Hamilton) should be looked at too.
Toto saying the telemetry shows max was slowing down then accelerating then slowing down again!
I think also the point of the DRS zone is true for Max, he was purposely trying to earn the DRS to re overtake him in the right place which is why he slowed down in such a stupid place
Thanks. Gonna keep an eye on them, specially my fellow George.
Looking forward to what promises to be one crazy race next Sunday.
I have to agree with you.
If Max doesn't get penalized, he'll take out Lewis first chance he gets next sunday
From Sky F1
Wolff unhappy with Verstappen
"I don't think this is yet done," says Toto Wolff to Sky F1 if the result was the right and fair one.
"The result at the end, winning the race, I think he [Lewis] deserved it.
"We could have been out a few times with a broken front wing and I don't want to have dirty laundry in here but...that was spectacular but not a good race."
On the incident where Hamilton hit the back of Verstappen, Wolff suggests: "What the telemetry shows is he's slowing down then accelerating again and then slowing down.
"Lewis didn't know [Verstappen had been told to let him past] and I think that was the wrong sequence of messages that came through there."

It would but that's the rules.
