You don’t think toto would be doing exactly the same then!?

Do you think MV should have had a penalty for his weaving, or what he did at Imola when Lewis decided to back out?
When it’s a reckless move then yes he should be black flagged. At best he’s either got no awareness of vehicles around him or is driving too fast for the corner. At worst it was a deliberate move to knock him off.

Yes of course. Which is why it proves both were equally to blame as neither would accept further sanctions if it were their driver who won while the other was a DNF. Both drivers could have avoided the collision. Both drivers continued without backing out.
Directline would def be going 50/50 with a Vauxhall Corsa as a courtesy car
I genuinely think Toto would probably say it doesn't feel like a penalty after Max won, but it's done and now time to move on. Rather than acting like a petulant child like Horner is.
We're unlikely to find out though, because Lewis has the sense not to turn in on another car at 190mph, which is why he is the greatest driver there has ever been.

Are you talking about MV here?

Absolutely no way he could do MotoGP.

Amazing isn't it? The internet warriors have been moaning for nearly a decade that there hasn't been a genuine title race and it's 'boring', now there is one everyone is wetting themselves about one race. It's a title championship at the highest level of professional motorsport (and nothing compared to Senna/Prost or MS and Hill) what do people want, was LH just supposed to let MV drive off up the road in the faster car? Hamilton haters gonna hate I guess.

Why? If Hamilton’s “crime” is so awful he should have been black flagged surely in your world.
I would have thought that RB would have there own lawyers. Horner & co are by their conduct bringing the impartiality of the sport and governing body into doubt. Not a clever thing to do. Their focus should be on next race.
Got to agree with that

Could have been but wasn’t
I think it’s only fair that they both get no points
It's crazy, we've got the potential for one of the best title fights in years, the first couple of races showed what could happen. Then a few less exciting ones with wins for both contenders, now finally THE race that lights the blue touch paper for the rest of the year, but instead of relishing the battle, Red Bull and their fans want the competition removed.
Of course I want Lewis to win, but if Max does it and we have a close battle to get him there, it'll be just as enjoyable.

You are getting ridiculous now.

I have to go out now in any case, strangely enough a funeral to attend.
Enjoy your day

Deaths in F1 are extremely rare these days. Track safety and driver protection is unbelievable.
Jules B was the last one but you have to go back to Ayrton before that.
I’m sure Max is hurt. The G forces were huge but these are well protected superhuman athletes. Track safety at Silverstone is excellent.

You could argue the lack of awareness came from MV though?
But if he knew LH was on his inside why turn in and effectively block LH off. He could and should have gave him space, took the corner wider and in all probability come out still in the lead. But he chose not to and try and bully someone into backing off.
He’s as much to blame as Hamilton, if not more.

They're putting as much pressure on the F1 and the FIA as they can.
My personal view is; they're making themselves look like fannies and it will likely backfire.
That's ridiculous but fortunately it won't happen
