Channel 4 are awful, I had the misfortune of having to watch Silverstone on there and they were giving Lewis 100% of the blame and calling for bans before Max even hit the wall. I think I've used the comparison on here before, but they produce it as though they're a group of fans who have managed to get all access passes and a camera crew.
Posters on this thread could present and be less biased.

I hate C4’s coverage. The main bloke who presents it seems to take pleasure in knowing fuck all about the sport. It’s awful coverage.
Billy Monger is class on there. Bright future ahead for him.

Mercedes dominant race pace compared to red bull really showed the latter had totally set the car up for one lap pace to try and get pole position. It was no good at managing its tyres and even with a broken front wing lewis was miles faster. Maybe explains why red bull looked on course for a surprise pole position

Whilst working for Coulthard.
Amazing how fast he picked up the TV stuff. Top bloke.

3 times stronger than you or me doing an emergency stop in an average car can do.

He'll only have needed to dab them to generate those pressures
The pressures at full pedal force are immense and the temperatures commensurate with the kind of forces generated.
Braking technology has always been a fascinating topic as it doesn't always follow the logic you expect it to

Someone above said 69bar is about half the braking force used for a hairpin, which would be almost maximum force?

Nope.
Martin Brundle: Max Verstappen must stop these tactics vs Lewis Hamilton for his legacy... but what a title showdown we'll have
Sky F1s Martin Brundle unravels the chaos and controversy of the Saudi Arabian GP, explaining the title rivals bizarre collision, his unease over Max Verstappens style against Lewis Hamilton, and much more; The title rivals are level on points heading to the season-ending Abu Dhabi GP
“with Lewis now on his rear bumper, he angrily hit the brakes at 69 bar generating 2.4G deceleration, nearly half that normally generated into a heavy braking zone for a high speed approach to a hairpin, and then pinned the throttle.”

Probably correct.
TBF, 69 bar is fairly knocking on
I wouldn't want to be anywhere near if something burst
Nope.

Aye he knew exactly what he was doing. You could see him looking in his mirrors as he did it.Probably correct.

He deliberately wanted Hamilton to smash into the back of him and to damage his car so he couldn’t continue.Nope.

He’s an absolute disgrace.

Reading about Keke Rosberg he won 1 race to win the 82 title and 5 race wins in his career
Hes completely lost it.
Reading the wording of 'applied the brakes in a way' fives the impression he shouldn't have done it but didn't do anything wrong.
How can 69 bar of brake pressure with a car just about 1m away from you at a point where you are normally flat out be classed as anything other than a brake check? And the instant acceleration aswell.
Any other incident that I've seen could be argued as an accident, that isn't an accident. If Lewis done that to max redbull would he threatening court action against the fia/mercedes. The whole thing stinks of keep the last race meaningful at all costs.

TECH TUESDAY: Red Bull or Mercedes – which car will suit Abu Dhabi better, as the title battle goes down to the wire? | Formula 1®
Equal on points, one race in Abu Dhabi this weekend decides all. Whichever of Lewis Hamilton or Max Verstappen beats the other here is the 2021 world champion. As much as this amazing season has been about the contest between two all-time great drivers, it’s also been about their cars. Rarely...

The Austin comparison is interesting, although I don't think anyone can doubt that Mercedes have a fundamentally stronger package now than they did then.Just read this on F1 site. Interesting read without anything conclusive

My thoughts are that Red Bull need to hope for setup or reliability issues to win. Not out of the question, but I'm unsure that they can beat Merc on raw pace at the moment. The red flags and VSCs masked what would have been an absolutely dominant win IMO.
