Looking through it I really think that collision is more on Max then Lewis. I do think Max had a right to go down the outside, but Lewis left him room and also left him room on the next corner too - he didn’t go right to the apex. Max was never in front and he knew that putting the car there he would crash. To me this has to be a penalty, if you give Lewis a penalty in Silverstone you have to give Max a penalty here.
If they hadn’t given a penalty to Lewis in that race, I’d say this shouldn’t be a penalty either. For me both are racing. But Silverstone was slightly more Lewis’ fault then Hamilton, and this is slightly more Max’s fault than Lewis. So, you have to penalise both if you want to be fair and set that precedent.

@Leg-End just seen the first lap and get your meaning now 
Leclerc and Norris showed how T1/T2 can be done right on the restart though.

why has Bottas given up?
I take it he knows about Sergio's 5 second pen, is he holding back and settling for 3rd?

50/50 i think. At sprint race yesterday Lewis cant get past Norris and took him about 20+laps to get past Norris today. Who knows with Ricciardo.
Didn’t realise Perez had a penalty. Could drop to 6th if he doesn’t pull out a gap.
Yeah probably. No chance he catches the McLarens.

It can be done, unfortunately I think these two no longer respect each other.
Umm use the run off like multiple drivers have done this weekend when no room and then yield the position againThis thread
For what? I'd love to know what people expected Max to do? He didn't have the space which resulted in him hitting the curb. He didn't try to hit Hamilton or anything, was bounced into him.
Yeah I don't think he would've. Credit to McLaren, they've had good pace this weekend. Really happy to see them get the 1-2.
Nope. Watch it again.
SHOEY TIME!
Great drive by Ricciardo and great to see McLaren back on the top step of the podium, plenty in this thread this year have written him off.
Cracking win for Riccardo and 2nd for Norris.
Well done.
Bottas with 3rd from dead last what a drive.

Actually not sure if you are being serious about this.. a fecking car landed on top of him. The lack of humanity from people is hilarious
And he pulls the fastest lap!
Lets go mclaren.
Lewis went out on cold tires while max had his up to temp, Max could have waited, and Lewis could have given more room. Lewis had to knew he was a sitting duck with cold tires, but he got desperate and shut the door completely. Race incident anyways, move on.
How far up the constructors does this 1,2 win take McLaren?
Brilliant for McLaren! Really hope Ric can push on from this. Makes McLaren much stronger.
Lets go you previously silver colored team I couldn't stand in my youth!
What a drive from both of them, they deserve that. Lando’s win will come too.
Well he did struggle to get past Lando the first time. Not quite sure he would have been able to get past both of them. Just conjecture now though.
Good drive from the Mclaren lads
This.
So many posters blinded by tribalism on both sides, it's hard to read the thread.
Delighted for Ricciardo, brilliant to see him win again
What's the god awful music?!?! Hahaha, fecking terrible!
McLaren love this track. Last year Sainz was on course for win also.
Now, Ricciardo can get to drive that Dale Earnhardt car. Win both his bet with Cyril and Zak.
Both Lewis and Max fanboys today:
Happy with the 1 2 finish for mclaren, both seem great guys
Bottas basically said he couldn't care less about whose fault the crash was
Can see why this thread appears so childish during racesBoth Lewis and Max fanboys today:
This is basically it for me. The handling of the Silverstone incident for me should directly influence how they handle this one for the sake of coherence.
Wouldn't trust Mazepin to drive me to the airport. Think Wan-Bissaka would do better job at Haas.
If you had watched the race you would have seen that the race line was to hug the right curb into the corner and hug the left curb out of the corner. To leave a cars width would have meant there was no way of making the corner at the speed they were carrying.Hmm, I don’t think that’s really true. I’ll caveat again I’ve only seen the one replay but this:
Shows there was room, and also that Max was alongside going into T2.
Not me, yes I am a Lewis fan, bit I said before the crash, I would love Riccado to win.Both Lewis and Max fanboys today:
He would only try and grope you on the way anyway. Mazepin that is, not AWB.
Great win for Mclaren, would have preferred Norris, but still great to see a different car winning through their own speed rather than Merc/RB not finishing (even though they didn't finish haha).
