Hamilton didn't respond like he normally would've
He didn't protest it or argue.
Almost like he knew it was coming.

 

[OutlawQuadrnt]

Completely inconsistent given Russell's penalty. Would've understood five but ten is a reactionary response. Don't agree with that.

 

[Outspacer]

Hamilton knows he deserved more of a penalty and got off lucky.

 

[phillgt2002]

No, sorry. You will never convince me that it should be accepted, period. Yes, contact happens. Mistakes and accidents happen, but never acceptable. That's why it's against the rules and generally leads to a penalty. Hence the 10s penalty given here. If it wasn't against the rules, then fair play.

You can't expect everything to be perfect, but to each their own, I guess.

 

[PeterJB]

He's taken his main rival out and his punishment is to be only 7 points behind going into Hungary.

 

[Jubby]

Bahahaha, ludicrous penalty - both because it's unnecessary and inflated, but also almost entirely inconsequential.

Lewis essentially is paying 10s in this race for (likely) a 15+ point deficit reduction. Any driver would pay that in Lewis's shoes.

And also a ten-second penalty at the pit-lane after committing Shingo tactics and cool vibrations.

How is Bottas not P3

 

[phillgt2002]

Perez in 12th POS. I could honestly see him getting past Bottas by the end.

Only 10 seconds penalty to gain loads on both the championship and manufacturers points standings while wrecking the points leader totally out of the race. It was a gift, no way will he complain, Red Bull got screwed by that ruling!

Que Mercedes one stop strategy, with some Lewis tyre magic

In the heat of the moment about seconds after the incident Lewis said via radio that Max turned in on him and that it was Lewis'/his driving line. But I think when he saw the replays and his non verbal Lewis knew better not to argue anymore. Just my guess.

Helmmut calling for lewis to be suspended.

LOLZ

Pretty impressive for Lewis to stay with Charles.

Well Charles is in a FERRARI.
GP2 engine.

How, exactly? He's clearly cruising cause he's in no rush to get past.

IDK what's more disturbing; reading social media folks that feel as if Lewis was banned from the sport, it still wouldn't be an adequate punishment or it's coming from the same folks who would've cheered Max if the roles were switched.

Disappointed in the some of the things people think are sound takes.

 

[Samus]

So now we're in the same can't follow closely dull phase as yesterday.

It was a yoke.

Please, Leclerc..

If Max would have done that to Hamilton he probably would have gotten a drive thru penalty if not outright disqualified from the race!
Hamilton fans are some of the worse when it comes to their racing god can do no wrong!

It is completely consistent with awarding a penalty for a race incident with shared fault.

 

[Grayfox]

Charles is having engine issues.
Well GP2 engine.

Errr, that doesn't look even remotely similar! Ahead well before turn in, and not turning in from hugging the old pit wall...

Yeah, you're literally proving my point, thanks.

Can we not start this? There's a lot of fans of Lewis in this forum and its been a pretty civil discussion. Suggesting that his fans liken him to a God is you projecting your thoughts about him.

Leave it.

Gasly's engineer:
"Perez is not our race, we can try to use it to pass Raikonnen".
That's the third time he says something like "dont race Perez".
Alpha Tauri, sister team...

Yes, because the guy on the outside knew better and decided to back off.
