Yeah that's pretty much the only logical explanation here.
But even then.... spinning in the formation lap can happen, other drivers have done that too, especially in these wet conditions and with a hastily rebuild car...
But driving into the gravel on purpose...that is just a blow in the face to the whole team who have worked really hard (hundreds of people) not to mention all the sponsors!
From what I've heard, there's a big spectator stand at that corner where stroll spun out, is that all the spectators were yelling "Drugovich....Drugovich". Felipe Drugovich is of course AMR's reserve driver and he's brazilian

I just can't imagine Stroll not knowing there's a drive around at that gravel pit. Pretty much all tracks are designed like that nowadays. I can see some orange crash cushions standing on that drive around, but I don't think it's blocked off. I still think it's a really strange situation. If Stroll drove into the gravel pit on purpose that would be extremely childish. There are some silences in the radio traffic in the clip so I'm not sure what was said in those moments...

I can imagine Hammy finishing 10th, but the same time RUS battles in front.

Not sure how many of you saw Hamilton drive Senna’s McLaren MP4 but my god that V10 sounded glorious. It a shame we have to listen to these V6 turbo hybrid’s and will be even worse with the 26 spec.

Collectively Max’s is still better since he beat down drivers with more overall titles. Lewis also lost to some of the worst of them. Imagine losing to Rosberg or Button, or Kimi when you had a faster car. Similar to 2021 where he couldn’t get it done in the fastest car, a bit of help from the Fia letting penalties slip, and even a few purposeful crashes by him and Bottas.

This one is still hilarious to me. Ros was never very good. That’s basically like being up 3-0 in the World Series and 1 out away from a sweep and then getting completed housed and losing the next 4 games in utter disgrace because you couldn’t get the job done.

Yeah I guess you're right. Lewis sucks.
