FIA: Pushing someone off the track is a no go
Also FIA: Hamilton sustained damage while pushing someone off the track, better red-flag it, so he gets a free tyre change and a new front wing.

Nah, all cynicism aside, it didn't look like Hamilton was actively pushing Verstappen off the track, but he could and should have moved inwards more, this was a preventable collision.

And holy fuck, that rubber came clean off the tyre, after Baku, this is the next major fuckup for Pirelli, just imagine that huge hunk of rubber bouncing over the fences, this could have killed spectators. How could it pop off so easily?

Also, can someone please strangle this english commentator-cocksucker. Dude's talking over the FIA radio to inform us, that Red Bull is talking to FIA and he babbles on so long, that I could hear precisely nothing, cause that limey fuck needed to explain to me, apparently, that radios exist and are used for communication or something.
 
Looks like Lewis was trying to deliberately run Verstappen to the outside of the road on the exit of the corner but Vestappen wasn't having any of it.

I swear the requirements of being a Sky commentator are sucking Hamilton off at every opportunity.

Oh and now Toto sending Michael emails, wonder how big the number he's offering for Lewis to get away with it is.

Really weird how the Sky commentators both suggest that Hamilton was positioned forward enough to have some right of way over Verstappen, when he impacted Verstappen on his rear tyre with his own front wing. Like, is being on the inside of a corner now the sole defining argument of who gets shafted and who isn't?
It's not a situation like last race with Perez and Lando, where you could argue it was one driver running the other off the track, this time, both drivers were too stubborn to make way for the other, it's just a fucking travesty that once more Lewis manages to be F1's luckiest driver on the grid.

He lost one place, sustained minor damage and gets it repaired for free. Not the first time this happens either. And he won't be penalised either, I guess.

And thinking about it, what pisses me off even more:
This season started with Vettel getting a penalty for ignoring yellow flags (when Mazepin spun in Qualifying in the first GP) and the justification for Vettel's penalty outright said that technically, it happened so fast that Vettel was past Mazepin's car before yellow flags were even out, but a driver of his experience should know better and react to double-yellow-flags even if they aren't there yet.
You think 7-times champion Saint Lewis will be under the same scrutiny here? Nah, that would make Toto cry and Toto already send angry Karen E-Mails.
Clearly, one would have to be crazy to expect the supposed GOAT to be more careful.

He got off pretty lightly considering if they decided he was in the wrong the consequences of him doing that wrong were pretty serious in both championship points and sending the other driver to the hospital ways.

He's the luckiest fucker on earth now with Ferrari having problems.
 
Perez and Kimi showing how you do wheel to wheel racing without either of you ending up in a barrier.

I really hope Norris wins by some method. Apparently I cursed it...

If you'd put money on ferrari running 1-2 at some point you'd be doing well right about now.

Ferrari once more snatching defeat from the jaws of success with a pitstop so botched, it almost looked like a 10 second penalty.

Now here's to hoping that Leclerc will hold on to his position, cause it would be way too funny if an Italian team cucked Hamilton in GB after Italy cucked thr UK in soccer.

Edit:
Damn, this race is dull as fuck.

It makes such a joke of it all when you can pitch your rival off the road (and send them to hospital) get a slap on the wrist then still come 1st/2nd.

As much as I understand the sentiment, I have to say that I don't think any harder penalty would be appropriate. It's not "Michael Schumacher deliberately crashing with his title contender to protect his WDC lead" levels of fuckery. It's a really annoying accident cause once more Lewis got off almost free of damage (and free repairs to what little damage he had) and the penalty is barely enough to be noticable with the amount of power the Mercedes has compared to the rest of the field.

Edit:
And here goes my hopes for a well deserved LeClerc victory.

Edit2:
Well, I have to admit that Hamilton's conduct and his refusal to take any blame for an accident he so clearly caused makes me rethink my prior statement and I now wish they would have thrown the book at him.

Should most definitely have been harsher. He cause a major accident through his awful judgement. The only way that wouldn't have been an airplane crash is if vestappen had jumped clean off the road. Every title fight he's ever been in he's put his championship rival off through bullshit decision making. The penalty has done absolutely nothing to hurt him.

And now the commentators going on about him "going into battle" with max and max "coming off second best". That dick head caused that crash.
 
Well Lewis the lucky certainly striked again even though that this victory was undeserved. I really hope that Max is ok and has no lasting injury after this crash. Because 51g is one hell of an impact. As a Ferrari fan I really hoped that Leclerc would win this one but alas it didn't happen. though I wonder how the next races will look like I can't imagine Max being very pleased about this "incident"
 
LMAO Hamilton haters are so dumb. People were debating whether it was a penalty in the first place. And you got the Ham haters asking for more than 10 secs? LOL cry harder. If this incident happened in the mid-field we wouldn't be even talking about it anymore. Just admit that you're butthurt. I wanted Leclerc to win but Hamilton's drive was epic (but lucky too of course).
