F1 2021 Season

Leclerc :lol:

Thought he was on course to clean Max out there.
 
it didn’t break a rule but neither did hamilton and that’s the point.

hamilton tried to turn into the corner then got bumped off wide to evade. he literally couldn’t go anywhere else.

He could've slowed and let Verstappen through. Verstappen has done him with the move.

It's ballsy to the point of reckless, but it's not illegal.
 
Fair. Look, like I said I agree with you I think. But I would say that RB have talked about hard racing all weekend and not to punish for it. If you don’t punish Brazil, you reap what you sow. In my view, both Brazil and this are punishable.

Can’t comment on Brazil, but as you’ve said above; Lewis just pinning the accelerator and heading to the next turn wholly off the track is the ridiculous bit.
 
Fair enough then, mind you I'm no expert whatsoever :)
f1 / driving in particular has such small margins between being good and bad. it was just a tiny bit too late to be a clean move
 
I don’t think it was right but it doesn’t matter as with the past few races Merc has been faster - always been Hamilton’s to lose.
 
Here's another thing: if the runoff isn't just flat tarmac all the way to the next corner, then the move would likely have left Hamilton behind Verstappen, and people would be calling for an investigation of Verstappen for the move, which I think could have been ruled "no further investigation" also.
 
No but it is racing and if Max doesn’t attempt a pass then it becomes a procession (which it is now). He has to gamble there surely
worth a try by max but he was too far away to make it stick properly. you can’t block pass somebody into a chicane and not expect them to have to run off track
