I wonder why he got the 10 second penalty then.
The amount of people thinking they know better than the worlds top stewards ffsit’s not gran turismo sonny Jim
What has LeClerc getting past Lewis got to do with Lewis's penalty?
fwiw i think horner and his comments have given lewis the best chance to win the title this year.
max will be in full 'done wrong to' and 'poor me' mode and i don't think he has the mental strength to get over it. he'll be itching for the first opportunity for payback and it'll eat away at him till then. hopefully no one will be injured.

Worlds top stewards? They just select random ex-racers who are local to the race usually, hardly a top class stewarding academy or something producing themI wonder why he got the 10 second penalty then.

They had to punish someone as that is the new ethos in F1.
Verstappen was out and someone had to be held to account.
Hamilton 10 seconds was the obvious choice - even though it would have been a racing incident as little as 3 seasons ago
In another escalation from Red Bull, they've got themselves an ambulance chaser (it's in Dutch but your browser should offer a translation)

Funny that eh? And I suppose the race director is just some bloke off the street who’s never seen a race in his life?Worlds top stewards? They just select random ex-racers who are local to the race usually, hardly a top class stewarding academy or something producing them

It was a 50/50. like in football the one that comes off better is punished. you've got half people saying the punishment wasn't enough, the other half saying it was too harsh. I really can't see how but that probably means it was right. People inventing new rules/calling for a race ban to punish Hamilton for it is a joke.
Max wasn't totally innocent in it. His punishment was he didn't finish the race. Hamilton's was a severe penalty he managed to win but it certainly wasn't a given that he would win. and we all know if the circumstances had been reversed (Hamilton 30+ points ahead and on the outside) he would have given much more room and realised that losing 7/8 points is better than not getting any. that is where max's immaturity comes into it.
My biggest problem with the penalty is that there was at least 3 instances of the same thing in Austria all were a 5 second penalty. Maybe consideration was given to those that the cars that suffered were still in the race. but no consideration seems to have been given to Hamilton for it being the opening lap which again happens regularly.
This is getting ridiculous from Red Bull now, to be hiring a lawyer for an incident that has been dealt with is verging on bringing the sport into disrepute.They had to punish someone as that is the new ethos in F1.

Hopefully the FIA don't bend over for them yet again by going along with this farcical charade.
I think it’s only fair that his win doesn’t stand, he’s had his celebration on the podium but they should take the points off him.

That is ridiculous I really cannot stand anybody in that team. I really hope when they take over the engine development and mess it up they just leave F1.
They are not interested in racing. they just want the title to be given to Max and they are now worried that he cant do it on the track.
Verstappen came off a lot worse, he’s lucky he wasn’t killed.

What’s the race director got to do with it?
It’s up to him to liaise with the director of the stewards.

But he wasn't blameless in the situation. he could have backed out. he could have not turned in when he seen Hamilton on the inside and left more room. he could be a much less aggressive driver.
This thread has gone downhill since we got another WUM joining in. At least most have now put SBC on ignore.

This is some top banter right here, it really is.

Both Hamilton and Verstappen could have backed out and avoided a collision. Neither did and one came off worse. If this was the other way round would Christine accept having MV's victory erased and banned as they are proposing? If not then he is all hot air for PR purposes

Would you want every incident that involves the other car DNF’ing resulting in the driver being disqualified then?
