Nah that was more on Max.That looked more like Lewis' fault. I think he decided Max wasn't coming through and just turned in on a car that was far enough up the inside to get space.
looks like you should watch the onboardLooks like Verstappen hasn't really learned anything in wheel to wheel combat. Yesterday he didn't know when to back out against Sainz, and again today with Hamilton.
Max had his wheels ahead through T1 and was already straddling the kerb through T2. Lewis didn't give him the cars width he had earned so although Lewis was slightly ahead, for once Max actually stuck to the Alex, so he can't really be blamed for that. If it was a usual 2021 Max move, he would have been nowhere near the apex and caused it. This will be a penalty for Lewis, especially once you see where they've both ended up relatively.Nah that was more on Max.
I did, and Verstappen should have backed out. Hamilton was slightly ahead.looks like you should watch the onboard
I'd say it's on Max because he wasn't on the apex, he was over it. He went too wide in T1 which caused the incident. Hamilton was also very aggressive on closing the gap though. I would call it as a racing incident, but if it had to be blamed on someone, it would be MaxMax had his wheels ahead through T1 and was already straddling the kerb through T2.

it wontThat VER penalty should stop the "Max/RB is favored by the FIA" discussions.
Fia is incredibly biased. It's just that their bias changes on a per-incident basis, based on who caused it.That VER penalty should stop the "Max/RB is favored by the FIA" discussions.
They haven't had many chances this year to atone for Abu DhabiThat VER penalty should stop the "Max/RB is favored by the FIA" discussions.
That's the problem I have with the FIA. They continue to try and atone for previous mistakes by making more mistakes.They haven't had many chances this year to atone for Abu Dhabi
