My view on the race for silverstone that is racing for you on any track. Nascar is the same. You wonder why there are crashes on all race tracks?
For this simply reason.
All drivers want to win.
What do you think hamilton should of done?
Let him drive aggressively the way he has in all other races and let him blow by him AGAIN?!
Nahhh wayyy!
He did what was expected from him and it won him the race.
Plain and simple.
If hamilton let verstappen over take him to avoid touching wheels he would be viewed as a pussy driver and get grilled by mercedes.
Might as well even give up on the rest season and just hand this verstappen the trophy himself.
You are talking about "let him pass?" as if that was an option, he had to either let Max pass because Max had the line (which was decided by stewards, so it is already confirmed that Hamilton was wrong and he caused Max to crash, proved by the 10 second penalty) or he would just let Max crash out of the race... So you are saying that he did the right thing by letting Max get a crash and winning the race instead of just making sure nobody crashed anybody, that is just not a nice thing to do. Being a pussy doesn't mean to avoid crashes, sure be aggressive but also avoid crashes as well.
Just to give an example Max is the most aggressive racer out there, everyone says that, and at the end he has zero license points, he didn't get penalty at all this year. That should tell you
the difference between an aggressive driver and a dangerous driver.
Exactly my point! Everybody wants to win is no argument in favor of potentially killing someone. Also, I don't exactly know how it works when you repeatedly cause accidents that give you 10 seconds penalties, but with this little penalty in mind and the win Hamilton achieved regardless, the decision of the stewards is almost like an incentive for me to do the same again in the next race if the opportunity arises.
I mean, it's not like Verstappen crashed and could continue the race and maybe fight back and get 10 points or so as well. He is out. It is a 25 - 0 advantage for Hamilton exactly because of that accident. That is why I said it would be sad not only for the driver, but even for all those interested in the sport to perhaps see a championship be decided by a foul play. It has nothing to do with lucky, it's just unfair and takes away the real competitive thrill we are all looking for in any type of sport.
And after all, and this is what experts criticized even more about the crash, is the danger Verstappen got exposed to because that curve is the fastest on the track.
The fact that Hamilton touched him at the back wheel with his own nose clearly shows who was in front in that curve.
Let's hope for some fair races and a close finish in the end!
