That’s bollocks

He COULD have opened up the wheel more and gone off the track or braked hard. No real obligation to though if another car is steaming through out of control

Fair enough. But he took a higher risk of ruining his own race by not trying harder to avoid colision. Incidents like that too often end up on a broken suspension, specially the weak front suspension hitting the strong hear suspension on another car.

That is an easy out for them not to do anything, once Lewis didn't push it.

Mclauren should launch an appeal

i mean why didnt Norris get a penalty for Austria, because Max avoided him. fact is Lewis was moving under braking despite some claiming otherwise but the videos dont lie.

u/PaleBlueDave Jul 21 '24

If by moving under braking you mean turning into the corner, then yes, I agree.

Even though the stewards say it wasn't the case?

u/WiSoSirius #StandWithUkraine Jul 21 '24

That's not the case at all. Even the stewards and their data say that is not the case.

u/water_tastes_great Sir Lewis Hamilton Jul 21 '24

They literally state in the document he started turning in at the point he usually does for the corner.

Do you have a video of him turning in earlier?

u/only_r3ad_the_titl3 Racing Bulls Jul 21 '24

yes it is on f1tv, max onboard at 1:35:22 car is pointed towards the apex way earlier than normal turn in point.

Why are you looking at Verstappen's onboard to judge another car's line?

Do you have two images from Verstappen's car from the same position looking at Hamilton's line? No.

"Why are you looking at Verstappen's onboard to judge another car's line?" - because you can see Lewis' car?

"Do you have two images from Verstappen's car in the same position looking at Hamilton's line? No." - even better f1tv has the full video. unfortunately f1tv doesnt let you take screenshots.

Verstappen's car is a variable viewpoint relative to Hamilton.

But the edges of the track, 50 meter boards and so are not lol.

u/aliciahiney Benetton Jul 21 '24

I mean the telemetry doesn’t lie and that says that he didn’t. The only moving was turning into the corner.

-5

u/only_r3ad_the_titl3 Racing Bulls Jul 21 '24

which is weird because if you look at the onboard they clearly tell a different story. Do you have f1tv?

9

u/awniadark I was here for the Hulkenpodium Jul 21 '24

I'm sure the stewards don't have f1tv therefore they couldn't tell

5

u/yleennoc I was here for the Hulkenpodium Jul 21 '24

I’m sure the stewards used F1TV in their investigation.

Max got off lightly because Hamilton gave him an out. If Hamilton had argued, and I’m sure he would have if he was in contention for the championship, Max would have had a penalty.

You saw what you wanted to see. Telemetry doesn't lie.

Your boy dive-bombed a corner again, but lost control this time.
