To me it seemed like payback time for Silverstone where Lewis pushed Max off the track at 250km/h, and then getting away with a 10sec penalty.
Lewis wouldn't know max gonna do that, and run into him to execute the perfect slam in to walls while himself going rather undamaged,.
If you think those guys guys can orchestrate a crash perfectly where you throw your opponent into barriers at 250-270kph without dnfing yourself instantly , its very unrealistic to thank that.
Remember lewis was trailing big time to max at that point and a dnf would have costed himself alot more than max.
Max could have waited a corner, or ran wide, and then come at him next lap, cause lewis always lets the opponent by safely when hes faster, like in austin or france where he let him overtake safely. without trying to impede.
What hospital are you talking about those are precautionary checks. max got out of the car and waved to crowd and walked perfectly normally.
How did lewis cause red flag siutation ? max ran into him the onus is on both not just lewis, if your opponent misses apex at slow or highspeed you go wide, max and lewis both went wide in brazil cause max too didnt apex, so instead of crashing into him lewis went wide.
Monza turn 4 or something first lap this occured too. and lewis went off to avoid collision
Max likes to race on the edge, without conceding any room himself! , what happened in silver stone is a consequence of that. Hamilton has time and again avoided collisions exception monza. where he couldnt do anything.
Even in saudi after seeing lewis just behind him max braked to 3 rd gear on a 300kmh straight as seen on his own onboard . Even helmut marko later apologised after seeing onboards
Lewis never had fastest car for most season(which is good kudos to rb for capitalising on the reg changes and making a great car) , max wouldn't have lead twice the no of laps! Until hungary/turkey/russia redbull had the edge
It was only towards the very end that the merc was a better race car. are you forgetting Mexico, 18 second lead on lewis, rb was superb because of honda working well at high altitudes.
Both have been lucky and unlucky on different occasions, for eg max was lucky lewis engaged brake bias magic button in baku and went , from 25 points to 0, inspite of his own badluck of tyre burst, essentially nullifying the race.
Max is also lucky because in monaco charles didnt start due to gear box issue ! wouldnt be possible to overtake there! would be 8 points behind, otherwise, as the ferrari was better than redbull, and merc that day on all corners of the track.
Hamilton also had floor damage from kerbs in austria 2, dropping him all the way down to 4th, losing him 8 more points, would have been easy 2nd otherwise.
Max’s biggest luck was also latifi crashing and michael masi aiding him in particular. Guys who couldnt unlap were upset aswell cause they couldnt fight for position anymore on a track with 3 big straights.
Completely agree on best title fight and them being in a different league. No debates on that.
