Yes, unless Lewis came to a complete stop he was forced off the track. Max lunged from WAY back and Lewis had ZERO room to turn into the corner and it looked like they touched. Had Lewis not taken evasive action before the apex, Max would've slammed right into him. Max set the standard for that in Brazil.

That's a fair argument. Will have to re-watch that sequence after the race.

Crimson92 · 12-12-2021, 08:18 AM

Had Lewis turned in max would of been on top of the car.

I don't think I agree with the the ruling but this is the result of not punishing Brazil.

Look at it this way. Had max hit ham, he would argue lap one cold tires and cold brakes. And probably get away with it.

First lap shenanigans are always a problem.

You can also look at how HAM took that runoff area.
He maximized his straigthline, not doing anything to get back at the track asap so maximizing his profit.

But at the moment HAM is faster on the yellows than Max on the reds.

M Hybrid V8 · 12-12-2021, 08:21 AM

Max rear tires are falling off hard.

Crimson92 · 12-12-2021, 08:21 AM

That merc is gapping the rb lap after lap.

That engine is no joke.

It was fun while it lasted.. Another Hamilton Championship. Back to bed..

Fliplegend · 12-12-2021, 08:23 AM

HAM 10th of a second faster reaction time at the start. I thought younger kids had better reaction. Experience knows how to handle pressure.

M Hybrid V8 · 12-12-2021, 08:23 AM

In hindsight, even if MAX managed to get in front of HAM at the start... Max's tires would've held up enough to keep HAM behind him.

TheBingoBalls · 12-12-2021, 08:25 AM

It's game on now. That's the one pit stop - for both teams. At this pace, that incident almost becomes negligible.

GuidoK · 12-12-2021, 08:25 AM

BTW, I would have loved if they had put some microphones in that tunnel leaving the pit lane

M5Rick · 12-12-2021, 08:25 AM

Max in for hards!

MMM.PWR · 12-12-2021, 08:26 AM

I forgot how boring this race usually is.

Checo is P1 ....Can Checo finally play the game ?

M Hybrid V8 · 12-12-2021, 08:27 AM

Redbull leaving Perez out to try to slow HAM, but Perez' softs are going to be trashed.

Too much gas not enough clutch.

Sucks when it happens.

Good job CHECO !!!!!!

ELBOWS OUT .....

GuidoK · 12-12-2021, 08:34 AM

Checo is currently his weight worth in gold!

But Max still needs to match his pace to HAM.

MMM.PWR · 12-12-2021, 08:35 AM

Perez is a God
