Clearly that was all HAM's fault. Clearly.

LEW ran the whole weekend out of sight , and no one spoke of LEW.

Until you showed up..

Max is the dirtiest driver on the grid for the last 4-5 years but there were just so many Hamilton haters that its always ignored.

At least Max's dirty ways are coming to light with a more neutral driver.

[AmuroRay]

He won 7 titles. I'm not sure what Lewis has to be ashamed of.

Think Lando learned a lesson today about his "friend...the sociopath".

NOR was the “dirtier” driver today - multiple cases of very late lunges resulting in lock ups & offs to pushing VER off track. VER absolutely initiated the final contact but NOR was certainly no saint today either.

Lunges and pushing were straight from the Max toolkit. It works/ed for Max so it should also work for Lando

From what I can see :

At that moment ..There was no room for Lando to make his move ..
Earlier in the race , Lando got several warnings for exeeding the track limits .

MAX ran with his elbows wide , to defend his P1 position . But Lando shouldn't be there , there was absolutely no room .
As you can see ..

Thats a static picture. If there was no room, how did Lando end up there? Thats because there was room and then Max moved over to crowd him and because of that, there was contact.

Enough one-sided blindness.

MAX a sizeable 81 points ahead of Lando now, if LAN wasn't so pushy then the gap would be less. That sharp edge on the Laren wing deflated MAX's l/r tyre.

64 RBR Constructors points gap to Ferrari in second with no score Charlie here.

The Northants track next up next weekend and hopefully no more anomalies at this fast track as MAX goes for his 62nd win.

In this snapshot they already made contact and they ran both with a puncture ..
But Lando tried to overtake MAX with 2 wheels on the grass !?!?
With a puncture !

Lando's move was extremely reckless and again there was no room for this ..
As you can see again ..

As MAX was in front then LAN should use another method to overtake ...like the good old undercut holding back enough then using DRS advantage. Serge took a while to learn that trick last year

Haven't seen it yet on replay but really barging and pushing like that from Lando will get him zilch..and a bolloking from Brown.

Wait..

This snapshot looks even better !

Lando actually ran with "half a car" across the grass !
No penalty for Lando for dangerous driving and exeeding the track limits !
This was after they made contact !!!

Some of the comments are hilarious it’s as if some Max fans watched a different race.

Norris was on the limit but the moves in the breaking zone at least 3 times from Max was just dirty driving, every other driver would have got punished. That lead Norris not to trust him.

The fact that overall Norris would have very likely got a 5 second penalty and he didn’t just let him go and stay close is baffling; instead again moving under braking giving Norris no room when on the racing line causing a collision all harks back to the same sort of overly aggressive driving that he used to do against Hamilton.

Is Max stunningly quick yes, is he dirty and can’t be trusted when close racing? Well I think we all know the answer to that, the fact he didn’t think he didn’t do anything wrong in the post race interviews suggests he is living in a vacuum of his and the teams creation and the sport and stewards have some of that responsibility.

Looks like Max was crowding Lando off the track on a straight lol. Stewards probably saw that and why no penalty was given.

Heres a better view using snapshots that shows the Max's crowding attempt at the corner entry:
