I wonder if RB expected the position rather than the gap, leading Max to back off to get Perez closer, which then increased Hamilton's gap back up, causing it to look like the gap never decreased.

Anything can happen in pit stops...
8 laps and bottas already a pit stop behind
But the former point isn't wrong either is it? It didn't look as though Max was bothered if they touched there?
I did think he was going to have to give the position back, was surprised by the decision.
Is max trying to save his tires to make a 1 stop? Or is he losing them already? No way a hard lasts 48 laps.. surely?!
Sorry got to disagree. Max again breaking way later than normal, if lewis isn't aware of him there Max crashes right into Lewis probably DNF's him.
Glad to see the stewards aren't putting up with his shit today.
Max literally cut through Lewis’ line. I don’t really know why you’d have to give the place back if the other guy has initiated contact and forced you off track.
They've said that Max forced him off the track and he didn't keep all of the advantage that he had gained. I'm happy with that.
He's so useless
I’m amazed that suddenly you can dive bomb someone, force them off track and then claim the moral high ground. It’s not clean racing.
Max struggling with tyres already
Jenson Button and Martin Brundle both think it’s the wrong call but Lewis fans on here are convinced it’s right
They're trying too hard not to be on team Lewis. Like Neville when we play.
Agreed, I don't think he left enough room for Hamilton. And the ex drivers seem to agree.
only just started watching, had to do something
What happened ?
What happened ?
It Lewis did the exact same thing everyone would be creaming themselves about it. It was a good move.
He didn't. Because the "did" he was trying, was something entirely different.
Max struggling with tyres already
Yeah, that corner incident means feck all in the grand scheme of things. This was always Hamiltons race after max fecked up in quali yesterday.
He's not even pointing into the corner, completely forced Lewis off.
he was never ahead, hamilton is already turning in as max shunts himself inside.
he gives him nowhere to go and forces him wide, hamilton can’t stop dead.
the lunge was from far too long back, he needs to be alongside before hamilton is turning in
1st point also true tbh. He dove in and looked to go across the corner and stop Hamilton from making a full turn; could have easily gone into Max as his car covered most of the turn in which you would by coming into the apex at such pace.
Max's rears not holding up it seems. Mercedes' to lose from here.
If they one stop they have already lost. They’re gonna need a safety car to make a one stop viable now
I don’t think it’s quite as clear cut but I agree I’m surprised by the decision. The piece I disagree with you on is, where was Lewis meant to go? Max didn’t leave him room on the outside at all, so he had no choice. The point you make about Lewis not returning directly, I think that’s why I am surprised with the call. But, let’s not pretend it was a kosher lunge.
Yep, bit of a kak call. Oh well.Jenson Button and Martin Brundle both think it’s the wrong call but Lewis fans on here are convinced it’s right
Its obvious it's the wrong call or at least inconsistent call in accordance with their previous decision in the season. What is clear is that race control are not treating this like a normal race and are shit scared to not become deciding factor for the title, which they basically just did.Jenson Button and Martin Brundle both think it’s the wrong call but Lewis fans on here are convinced it’s right
Same. Whingy Spice
Hamilton will absolutely piss this if nothing of not happens.
This
Lewis had a brilliant start and was in front, then Max pushed on the corner and "pushed" Lewis off the track, most though Lewis should give the position back to Max, but FIA said no action necessary.
Queue handbags and whining...
He's not even pointing into the corner, completely forced Lewis off.
How many times does this need to be said - he made the corner.
Max be maxxing in the corner off the main straight.
Why would anyone want that bellend to win another f1 anyway?
Thought Lewis got lucky with that decision. A shame a dubious decision looks to decide this great season. Hard to see a way back for Max from here.
yep it was a desperate lunge that forced another car off the track, simple.
red bull are obviously desperate to give the place back but he never made the pass cleanly. Hamilton didn’t even try to defend it as he was so far back
Sorry but that image to me shows further that max was ahead and made the corner.
He's not even pointing into the corner, completely forced Lewis off.

Hill and Rosberg are ok with it. On the same channel … in the same discussion… this is just not good form from you
It's quite clear his car is ahead at the apex. Unless I misunderstand the word apex
The thing is Lewis is that sort of driver to start with.
Hamilton has great pace
