[QUOTE="Leonormous Boozer, post: 1055116, member: 45598"] It's also a funny one when you consider many of the same fans probably (rightly) dismissed the criticism of Hamilton parading the Union flag when Max was literally in hospital. Hamilton was still trying to drive his car at the time too. Meh, don't know how you can say Max has to pull out of both and leave Hamilton blameless. There also was contact on lap 1 it was just wheel to wheel so Hamilton bounced out onto the kerbs rather than crash, one or both could easily have had their race end there. Hamilton also whinged that he wasn't given space for what that's worth. Trying to paint one as more sportsmanlike than the other this season is a tough sell and not something I'm seeing much of. Both aren't giving an inch and driving with their elbows out. Whether you want to call it dirty/reckless/aggressive or whatever I think you have to apply it to both. From a pure championship points perspective I'm still not sure if Verstappen did the best thing. Hamilton still has to deal with Norris just ahead who he'd struggled with and Perez later on. Hamilton would have been vulnerable on aged softs whereas Verstappen's hard tyres would have given him a chance (provided he makes the same overtakes). If the plan was always to take the grid penalty bin Russia it was probably the "prudent" play. [/QUOTE]
