[@mrhedgebull1658]

42:25 You say the Sprint didn't overshadow the race but I think you can't ignore the impact the Sprint had on it. The Sprint PROVED to Mercedes that if VER was ahead after lap 2 then HAM was going to be looking at his rear wing for the entire race. Mercedes have been consistently 0.4 to 0.5 secs behind Red Bull in the pit stops so strategy was unlikely to get HAM back past VER. It made it imperative that HAM got past VER on track and within the first 2 laps. It was a contributing factor to Copse.

[@alextjb]

I agree, it definitely gave Hamilton more pressure and need to get past on lap 1. Obviously it’s just one of many factors that have been leading up to this all season, but yea I agree… the sprint race def showed that he HAD to go for it. He even did a dummy of the exact same move he did in the sprint race to go down the inside. I also think that while it was more Hamilton’s fault and the 10 second penalty was fair… Max also will become a complete world champion driver when he learns that on occasion it’s best to live to fight another day. Lewis learned that lesson and Max will get there also. But it is part of what makes Max a great driver. He is up 33 points and has a solid grasp on the lead. Even if he finishes second it’s still ok, and he can potentially still fight for the win later.

[@refile1024]

Fact

[@robh9577]

Valid point.

[@abm0791]

I honestly felt like that 6 second pit stop for Lando Norris and McLaren played a HUGE factor in Hamilton's win at Silverstone. That was a moment that Norris could have stayed ahead of Bottas and maybe hold off Hamilton a bit longer to give Leclerc enough time to hold the lead

[@Lily1127channel]

That and also Sainz's slow pit stop. Sainz's pit stop was incredibly long, even much longer than Lando's. He would have been there ahead of Hamilton after his penalty+pit stop, and probably would have been given the order from Ferrari to hold off Hamilton with any means possible 😀 And the red flag to repair Ham's car. And Leclerc's engine problems. So many factors that played in his favor and against Leclerc.

[@kalpesh_p]

Hamilton was quite lucky yesterday

[@abm0791]

[@kityhawk2000]

Hamilton had to overtake Norris anyway though, so I don't think that would have stopped him winning. It would probably just mean Norris would finish 3rd. Not sure about Sainz but if Leclerc is anything to judge by it seemed like the Merc was much quicker on the hard tyre than the Ferrari. Maybe he'd have only been second if he had to pass Sainz too.

[@fakesalmon1979]

People say Max should be less aggressive, however, I can’t remember the last time Max caused a collision while defending rendering the opponent out of the race. Max left more than a car’s width on the inside. Lewis went flat out in a dirty part of the track on a full tank of fuel and understeered into Max. Missed the apex by a mile and yet states Max left him no space. I don’t think Max should have done more, he left more than enough space its hard fair racing and Hamilton messed up.

[@panacheautomotive4298]

Max got a taste of his own medicine

[@deathbower]

There is a strong argument that Max isn't taking anybody out because everybody knows that Max doesn't know how to yield and give him much more space than the rules require. Imola and Barcelona were both crashes that were avoided by Hamilton. The roles were reversed here and it showed.

Best ending second of a WTF1 Podcast ever

[@d7fdujbddyhvftuj637]

16:50 i don't really agree on this as almost every time the 'defender' in Copse goes a bit wider than the actual racing line to give more space they lose the position cause they cant make the corner anymore. Also when a overtake happens in Copse where both drivers stay on track(how it should be instead of one having to take the run-off), most of the times the person overtaking is on the outside. When its the other way around and the one overtaking is on the inside, they crash or the defending person is forced off-track. So i agree with Tommy that it was quite a desperate move by Hamilton.

[@mikedebruyn]

Lecrlerc was afraid of Hamilton when he overtook him in the same corner in the same way.

[@captaintoyota3171]

Yeah desperate and risky everyones lucky max is ok at 51g impact. Like if lewis had injured him.out of several races then would everyone play this the same?

[@alextjb]

@@mikedebruyn I disagree. Leclerc is on the exact same line as Max. Lewis is much more careful going in and actually backs off and is all the way up on the curb on that one. Leclerc just made a mistake and had a bit of oversteer. Not scared, just lost concentration slightly trying to get the win.

[@9999AWC]

@@alextjb Furthermore Leclerc didn't defend nearly as hard as Max, meaning Lewis wasn't pushed into the wall meaning he could take a better line into the corner.

[@brenolima7520]

Actually all the passes on Copse on Sunday was from the inside, and there were plenty of examples of inside pass there, even from Bottas on LH. But still even if that was the case, it doesn't mean that it is impossible to do so.

[@greatsageclok-roo9013]

This is why other motorsports have 'pit-lane drive-through penalties' as a form of punishment. Sure, it's harsh... But it's a lot more consistent and if even the threat of it is looming, it will make drivers more wary of their on-track actions.

[@Lo33y_]

I'm not sure about that, because if it was any other driver say Leclerc at the front and that happened then I feel that this whole situation would kind of just blow over, most would say its a racing incident and then move on. Just because it's a driver you're in contention with doesn't mean the penalty should be worse, if it was then that kind of sets a dangerous precedent and we may not get that 2016 thrill.

[@greatsageclok-roo9013]

@@Lo33y_ Doesn't matter who it is you're racing in the championship OR on the track; the penalty needs to be consistent. So the penalty probably WOULD need to be more severe... but than that same rule applies to everyone in a relatively similar scenario.

See the penalty according to me was fair but rather than serving it at the pitstops they should apply it after the chequered flag.

Schumacher was one of the most hated drivers of all time and in fact I struggle to think of someone else who really even got close. Senna and Prost people sided with Senna because Prost represented the establishment, after the Suzuka incident when he ran to Balestres office to get Senna disqualified after he turned into him, painted Prost and Balestre both as villains and cowards. Despite Senna purposefully crashing out Prost in 1990 after what had happened the year before, people still weren't siding with Prost. They hated him and threw trash on him and Balestre as well.

I do wonder why are you telling that Lewis was pinned by Max, as in fact if you watch the onboard, Ham himself dived into a very tight space and Ver actually turned even more to the left and provided even more space not to say he did the corrections going into the corner while Ham did precisely 0 things and attempts to avoid this situation. Ham was provided 1,25 if not 1,5 car width to make his decision and he was the car behind which has a much better view and understanding of the car placement. "Lewis trying to be a good guy" "very mature" - screams on the radio it was his corner, changes "was ahead" later to "mostly alongside", 0 sorry, barely any responsibility taken, tried a desperate and ugly move which would never stick (also check his responses and body language anytime someone asked him about it, he was ready to explode, was so twitchy) - I'm not sure how this adds up. The problem is that what he did affects the driver and another team after the race into the future races (no matter his result) while it actually does not affect the driver and team at fault AT ALL! Moreover, the penalty in the race should make certain and drivers aware not to try to pull the same stuff again, and what?! He tried that in the race again, a bit better, but still, Lec ran wide of the track while Ham was still close on running a bit wide on the exit, which just summarizes how bad and ugly that move is... It should prevent things from happening and make drivers face the consequences of their bad decisions, otherwise, it just makes no sense, at the current rate and system everyone can just start shoveling everyone off the track and make stupid and desperate dives and surges with very minimal consequences in terms of the penalties.

[@NardKoning]

From a racing point of view, 10 seconds is fair I think (agree most with Driver61s video) because Lewis was wrong, but it was not a stop-go penalty or something. Lewis was sufficiently alongside to be awarded space, there was space there, but he couldn't keep his foot in with dirty tyres, high fuel etc. to make the corner like that. He decided to do so, probably also related to the sprint race before, and understeered Max off. I understand why Lewis does not want to back out (again) at this stage, but for this incident, he didn't use the space that was given in the corner so it's a penalty according to the rules. 10 seconds is fair given the precedent, but of course hugely bitter for Max/RB as it is a meaningless penalty for them.

He’s been crucifying Lewis this season. He’s not really put a foot wrong, yet Hamilton who’s made multiple mistakes has dragged himself closer than he has any right to be in this fight. The Imola red flag which allowed Hamilton to get his lap back, the Baku tyre failure, then getting yeeted off the track by Hamilton who’s then able to repair his own car under the red flag that he caused and win the race after receiving a minor penalty. Just doesn’t sit right.

[@grunchlk]

He'll run out of good luck at some point. It took like six years for Schumi to run out of look when his engine exploded in the midst of the title fight in 2006. Before that, the Ferrari seemed bulletproof. Well, his did. Barricchello's not so much. Same with Hamilton. For me, It's hard to live with seven years of dominance (I thought the Ferrari and RBR dominance were long enough already). And then, when the domination seems to end, good luck kicks in.

I'm not even a Verstappen fan and I agree. I know that with the current rules this was the proper way to penalise Hamilton but still... it doesn't feel right. Maybe they should give position penalties (+3 positions added post race, so that he is p4 at best even if he finishes the race in p1)? Or WDC point deduction penalties? Instead of X seconds penalties during a race. 5 or 10 seconds penalties are so easily made nothing during a race, especially if you get it so early. I don't know. But some changes could be applied. And I'm not even convinced a red flag was necessary... It's usually just safety car in such situations. There was no car, no debris on track, they just had to remove a car from the barriers and rebuild that barrier, quite far from the tarmac itself. The red flag seemed to serve no other purpose than giving Ham the opportunity to rejoin in p2 instead of last place or a DNF.

@@Lily1127channel going to disagree. I dont think race incidents like this should have a position penalty after the race. Qualifying is a different case but directly altering the end result like that seems so wrong. I think the 10 second time penalty was fair and maybe have a grid placement penalty for the next race. But I dont think points should be taken off or move him down the order of finishers, which by the way does the same thing. And like they said in the podcast we see the affects of a 5 second penalty has on most teams. Just because it's a Mercedes or Red Bull doesnt mean they should get worse penalties just because it affects them less. The red flag was necessary and I'm pretty sure it's in the rules, but I may be wrong. If the barriers need to be fixed then yeah red flags. I dont think the 2 penalty points on the licence was fair, it should be more. And btw I am a Hamilton fan and even I found it a bit strange that he was able to win after all that. I'm happy he won being a fan but still feels weird as fuck. He had an amazing drive but that mistake still urks me.

"Lewis isn't usually involved in these kind of incidents" No sh!t Sherlock. He's had by far the best car for like 8 years, so he hardly ever got into a position where this could happen.

[@jonathandepue629]

You do realize "Spain with Rosberg" was way more Rosberg than Lewis. Rosberg completely put Lewis off the track. 2019 Brazil was actually Albon's fault. Albon missed the corner, knew he was going to lose a place and panicked, and drove into Lewis. 2020 Austria was a racing incident at best. Albon had space on the outside and chose to come inside. Lewis was on old tires and did understeer, but there was still room to the outside. The sad thing is, if Albon stayed outside, he almost certainly would have completed the over take in turn 5 as he would have had the inside line for that corner. The incident on Sunday is a racing incident, and if either driver is more to blame it is Max. Just because Max suffered a heavy collision with a tire barrier, doesn't mean it was Lewis's fault. Lewis has no obligation to take a line that will have him touch the inside curb (he wasn't on that curb pretty much all weekend, including in Quali, as it was unsettling the Merc,) his only obligation was to leave space on the outside, which he did. Max, on the other hand, knew Lewis was there on his inside, and still tried to force his way to the inside curb. I still chalk it up as a racing incident.

there's zero excuse for Kimi to not see Seb as he was ahead by considerable margin and turned into him. Max vs Lewis is much more nuanced.

Verstappen also made the mistake of turning in the way he did and probably thought he would have been clear of Hamilton (hence the rear touching Hamilton's front). two minor infractions that caused a big incident. the penalty for me probably comes down to the fact that maybe Hamilton shouldn't have pushed aggressively in the first place to end up in the position that they were in and probably should have backed out a bit earlier so the blame is put more on Hamilton. it's definitely not 100% blame on Hamilton, both made mistakes and both decided not to back out

To try and keep 1st he comes in too early straight into the path of Lewis who can not really do much. What do you expect him to do brake in the middle of the corner and let Max through. Christians Horners comments after the race about Hamilton should have backed out are wrong as Max should also realise where they are in the track so he should have backed out and ‘bided’ his time. They are both experienced drivers and should know where the limit is as well. No racing driver will ever break in the middle of a corner when they are on a good line.

For the past week basically every F1 video I watch is about this and this is why I like scrolling through the comments all kinds of opinions are available and it's very interesting and I would agree with your comment but not 100% true Hamilton cannot disappear and this cannot be planned and I don't think Lewis is that kind of a person but I would say it was 60% Hamilton's fault so it is a racing incident but a little just a little but on Hamilton's side he shouldve backed out not because it's not a place to make a move it's because he was not going to make the apex but nothing he can do about it now so let bygones be bygones also the only time I didn't like Hamilton ever was the celebration after the race was a little bit disrespectful not that there should be no celebrations just that it shouldn't have been as much as he did but to equal Schumacher's record of 8 win at one track and also at his home grand prix idk whether I should even blame him for the celebration this is my opinion and I respect all other opinions so thnx for reading :)

Soon people will need to stop with the Bottas being the wingman or at least ackowledge that Perez is the same lol

[@robh9577]

Bottas is the butt of most of my jokes, but they tossed sergios points finish to steal 1 point from Lewis. That's some "A" level Barichello treatment right there.

[@SubLime88]

You can actually see the moment Max sees Lewis committed to the move. Max correct his steering to the left has much as he can as was already steering into the corner... don't think Max could of done more. Think its more of a case both thought the other would back out.

[@randome.p.wvideos]

Yeah you can also see that Max wasn’t close to aiming for the Apex. He left as much room as possible without having to go off track at the corner exit but it wasn’t enough.

you cant go through copse on the inside on full speed. Thats impossible. Hamilton also wasnt ahead, so it was his fault.

He didn't have to be ahead, just Infront of the midsection of Max's car

I do consider myself a Verstappen-fan. But I will never claim Hamilton did anything on purpose. I do think however the FIA should have given Hamilton a stop-n-go penalty for the collision. Can Hamilton do anything about the FIA's decision? No. Was the race victory hollow without Verstappen to compete with this season? Kinda yes. Is Hamilton still the GOAT? yea that too.

[@FryGuy65]

I STRONGLY dislike (not hate) Hamilton and I still don't think he did it on purpose. I think it was a racing incident. I don't thing Lewis deserved a penalty at all really. I feel like the penalty was more based on the fact that these were the 2 championship fighters than anything. If this would have happened between any 2 other drivers I think it would have been investigated, and been a racing incident. Also, I think it's less of a mistake by Lewis, and more of a mental game between the two drivers. Max is known for being aggressive and saying "I'm going here, you can either give me room or we can both crash". Lewis has always given room to avoid a crash, but I think that now he's adopting the same ruthless mindset. In this case Max lost out, but these things can go any of 3 ways really.

[@emiel1206]

The problem with your assessment is that max actually gave room. There was more than a cars width at the apex. Hamilton just went in way too hot and wouldn't even have made the corner if he hadn't hit max. 100% lewis his fault.

Since most F1 commentators are english/british it is impossible to get a non biased opinion from „experts“ regarding incident involving british drivers.

Facts.

Considering they were all saying it was Lewis's fault your comment is pretty much mute.

[@TurkiskYoghurt]

@@garyelliott4776 Nobody blamed Lewis entirely, the commentators (especially Crofty) is biased, not just towards Hamilton but also towards Lando and George. I love Lando & George, but sometimes it gets over exaggerated. They dont mention the good performance Sainz does for example as much as their fellow redcoats.

I guess the most consecutive points finishes for Lando even though McLaren had the likes of Senna is because reliability isn't a big issue anymore these days
