Toto on Max's slowing: 'The telemetry says he slowed down, sped up, then slowed again.'
If that's true that should be a penalty for the upcoming race or points against his license or something. I don't know the actual rules and appropriate penalties but that can't be allowed to happen.
 
Both drivers have been called to the stewards. If Hamilton gets a reprimand that's a 10-place penalty next week.
 
The pertinent section covers "causing a collision".


d) Causing a collision, repetition of serious
mistakes or the appearance of a lack of
control over the car (such as leaving the
track) will be reported to the Stewards and
may entail the imposition of penalties up to
and including the disqualification of any
driver concerned.

Disqualification of either driver would be a horrible optic. Only thing that makes sense is Verstappen either getting a post race penalty off the grid or a grid penalty next week (if any penalty is warranted that is).
 
Netflix with the easiest job, all they have to do is upload the raw footage, no need for any manufactured drama this time...
They'll have spent this weekend with Aston Martin or something and we'll spend more time with studio shots of Lance Stroll explaining why finishing 11th from 18th on the grid was a good effort.

I wouldn't be surprised if they take it as a bad miscommunication, and give both drivers a reprimand, since both of their actions were a bit stupid given the circumstances

Which might be must see TV (streaming?) because I literally had no idea Stroll was in the race based on everything going on.
 
Championship tie again like 2006 (also 7 time WDC vs 24 year old), only that there's only 1 race remaining.
 
Looking forward to Abu Dhabi.
