This is a very level-headed way to react to a driver changing their mind about something after it saves lives.

Surely it's a good thing he changed his mind after seeing it work? Or should he continue to think its bad?
Yep, if you're not sure about something before it's implemented, then you must continue to be against it even after it's demonstrated to be a good thing. Because if there is one thing we don't have enough of in this world, it's people doubling down on wrong opinions.

I don't think the Norris / Le Clerc incident is the same. Don't think you can apply normal corner rules to a chicane either. Don't care too much because I'm not a big fan of either driver but I do reckon Verstappen is more to blame here.
There you go. Spells it out clearly.

I thought every Belgium and Holland rally behind Max.
His Belgian connection + the fact that most F1 fans I know are tired of Lewis winning means that they want Max to win yeah. I don't particularly dislike him or anything but it's true that such incidents aren't isolated cases throughout his career, he needs to be a better decision-maker at times and realize that he's not racing alone, no one is gonna give him anything and that he might be playing with his opponent's safety sometims. Not saying Lewis is exempt from those things, but imo it seems like Max is more involved in stuff like that and that's just a pity.

reckless? i wouldn’t call landing your car on someone’s head, then trying to accelerate off their head, then getting out of the car without even checking on that person’s head, reckless.

Max always had the choice of bailing out of the move and going again another lap.

I don’t think Lewis had another choice.

I think if max was going into anyone else he would have bailed but he benefited from taking out Lewis

Did he know though? Its not like the cars have rear camera or big mirrors to see where his rear end hit Hamilton car.

It will be really interesting what the fall out of Max/Hamilton will be. From a championship perspective, I'm hoping that Max gets a penalty. RB have the better car, so any penalty will help to keep the championship battle interesting for longer.

I don't think anybody said he tried to kill him. Damien Hill said he deliberately took him out and Jonny Herbert agreed with him and some on here agreed with that.
I don’t think it was on this forum I read it. Apologies. Tom van Persie did say he nearly killed him though which I wouldn’t class as decent discussion.

This is fun with the Sky team strongly disagreeing. Damon vs Di Resta.

Interestingly Max was very angry about Lewis celebrating the win at Silverstone, he called out "disrespectful", despite Lewis asking if he was OK almost immediately. Surely he should have even harsher words for himself, given that he didn't even bother to ask that question after driving over Lewis' head...

Di Resta is off his rocker.

Max has 3/4 of his car off the track, why is he ignoring that? He says let them race but you can't just throw your car into something and try to force a gap open. This isn't DTM like he keeps trying to compare it to.

Herbert is absolutely bang on.

They both are. I'm not fan of neither of them.
Mate, you might as well just stop this bullshit. It’s transparent as feck, you’re simply just embarrassing yourself at this point. You prefer Max to Lewis. As do others in this thread. And as do others the other way around. It’s perfectly fine. There’s no need to fake objectivity.

Not watching now but Di Resta has always had a Hamilton complex so I tend to ignore most of what he says when he’s involved.

You wouldn't class an accurate statement as decent discussion? His tyres made contact with Lewis' head, that isn't far away from doing serious damage.

Not opinions, objective facts.

Max was stood next to Lewis in his car trying to drive away. Fact. He can see he's fine. Fact. He didn't see his tyre hit Lewis' helmet. Fact.

In Silverstone Max went backwards into a wall at 180mph. Facht.


If you can't accept that these are objective facts then you're just another deluded fanboy.
Accept my opinion as fact or you're a fanboy :lol:

If you can't accept the above it's maybe a sign you're a bit of a deluded fanboy.
Rafa is that you?
