Yes, because he'd been beaten before the corner after being side-by-side all down the straight.
Versus today, when we saw what can only be described as a lunge.

Good to hear via father Jos that his son Max is ok. Hospital visit is mandatory procedure and he will get a CT scan but apparently nothing to worry about. And that after a 51G peak side impact 😳.

So basically lets not have anyone state an opinion that is not pro Hamilton is what you are saying? OK to have and state an opinion as long as it is agreeable for the Hamilton fans and their agenda!
And you for proving mine!

Actually, I feel Hamilton should have received a stop and go penalty for crashing Max out.
What I would really have enjoyed was to ghave been able to watch Max beat Hamilton on the track yet again!
I was the one being told I should not say anything anti Hamilton as there were a number of Hamilton fans on the thread.
What were you saying about comprehending someone having a different opinion than you?

Because instead of turning in like Vettel wasn't there, Alonso backed out. Up to that point they were as level as Verstappen and Hamilton - Vettel stuck his nose up Copse, like Horner says you don't do here and everyone knows.
But, this has reminded me of something.
Across this season, whenever Verstappen and Hamilton have been in close quarters, Verstappen has come out on top with sheer aggression while Hamilton has yielded. Back in the day we saw something similar with Hamilton and Rosberg; Rosberg would yield every time. Then in Spain in 2016, Rosberg didn't yield. He went super aggressive and basically took Hamilton out - and I said at the time that this was the first sign that Rosberg had demonstrated the champion mentality; he sent out notice to Hamilton that he wouldn't simply be his team mate. The dynamic changed, Hamilton couldn't fight with Rosberg knowing he could just move him out of the way, and Rosberg won the title.
While a racing incident, this looks like Hamilton has decided (or the team has realised that the long-term will be the same every race) on something similar. If Verstappen wants to try to cause a crash to get past, they can crash - he can absorb five-second penalties (even though this is a weird ten-second job) against the rest of the field, so if his car survives he can fight for the win and if it doesn't Verstappen won't gain any advantage. Same situation - he doesn't want to crash, but if they do it doesn't bother him.
Perhaps this is the message from Hamilton to Verstappen that he simply won't yield any more, and if he wants his first championship he won't be able to do it with straight aggression; he's put himself in Verstappen's head again. I wonder what will happen next time they're wheel to wheel...

You're missing my point. The Max fans bitching about Lewis would cheer if he was the one out, and it would most certainly be vice versa from Hamilton fans arguing Max should be given a stop and go. They'd be carrying the same attitude as the other. You bringing "Hamilton fans think he's God" is what gives me the impression that if the roles switched, you might not be carrying the same approach to the incident.
Both drivers were simply driving super-aggressive right off the line making something like what happened extremely likely.
We chalk it up to Zak being absent.

I think the Ferrari is working well with its tires in these hot conditions.
