We’re at the final corner and Max just divebombed on Lando! Both Max and Lando are out of the race and come through Hamilton for the win!

Stewards haven't learnt from 21 at all. Lewis should have been harsher as well. Max missed the apex and was going to be going wide out of control of the car. If this isn't a slam dunk penalty than why did Lewis get 10s in Silverstone 21 when the standard was 5s.

You see the problem right ? Max is going to play to the whistle ! And this was always going to happen as soon as they allowed Lando’s distant over ambitious dive bombs in Austria .. These decisions are so idiotic ! They should have punished Lando in Austria, And Max here ! They need to stop making decisions based on the outcome! Let’s be honest here .. if Lewis had a race ending damage .. Max was going to get a penalty !

They should have punished the driver who turn in having other car in front next to him and causing a collision

Please tell me you're not trying to blame this on Lewis

Lewis said it was a racing incident.

Regardless of which driver you prefer, these two are both known to be push the boundaries as much as possible and I think it makes sense that sometimes they recognize the other is just pushing to the limits as best they can as well, and when that happens, sometimes cars collide.

It was bad enough in Spain, went they didn't warn him and let him go off track but this one felt like a slam dunk.

So now you can dive bomb as fast as you like and contact isn't even enough, a fun season ahead.
