    Well - Hamilton and Verstappen crashed into each other. A lot of very angry finger pointing then ensued. How much blame should we really place on either driver, though?

      the stewards do actually base penaly off of pos. they said so in bahrain when max overtook ham. max later said he would have liked to continue but even though max could have gotten a 10 sec gap. but the fia still said no matter the gap they would just increase the penalty.

      the biggest problem is, if your car is damaged , the red flag will give you time to put the car back together. In the next race, hamilton can still 'casuing collision' and then red flag and then fix the car and then win the championship, this way they don't have to fight the red bull which is less probable of winning.

      but hamilton owned the corner was more than 80% alongside at corner entry
      and like the rules state and your previous videos
      this means hamilton owns the corner and max didn't conceed the line he was wanting to take

      I suppose it’s about how easy it is to not cross the pit entry line. That is a safety regulation that to be honest, there is no real excuse for breaking 99% of the time.
      The contact is part sporting and part safety but it’s complicated by wheel to wheel racing being very difficult to judge and each driver is making instantaneous judgements and split second decisions.
      One is a very simple situation and the other is very complex. It’s easy to make a clear and fair judgement on something like speeding in the pit lane, making a false start or crossing the white line. Determining what is fair and who is at fault and how serious an incident is is much harder.
      So, penalties for simple breaches can be harsher and they are still fair because it is a black and white kind of call.

      It's actually a bit deceptive. If you look at Max's onboard there's no way his trajectory was leaving Lewis that much space at the apex. His car was aiming for the inside line. This is the problem with these analysis. All the lines they draw just reinforce their position. If people actually saw what I think is the real trajectory and see how much Max just chopped down on Lewis they would have a different opinion.

      @@John-ok8ts I also don't think the diagrams are that accurate. I do probably blame Lewis more, just as Chain Bear does, but I think he did get fully alongside (never ahead but alongside), and when watching it looked to me as though the collision didn't take place quite as early in the corner and shown in this video. I don't think Lewis intentionally drove into Max, and I don't think Max intentionally turned in on Lewis, but I don't think either were going to back down and this was almost inevitable.
      As I've said elsewhere the smart move for Mac would have been to go wider and slower, and initiate contact between the two of them as they got the outside kerb, that way the probable outcone world have been Lewis nudging Max off the track as Lando and Checo did in Austria and thus incurring a 5s penalty and maybe having to give the place back. It wouldn't have ended his race and he'd be much further ahead in the standings. But he's not that sort of driver and this kind of incident was always going to happen.

      Come on, if Lewis deliberately crashed into Max, he risked putting himself out of the race too. He was very fortunate that there was a red flag to remove that cracked nut. No human can predict such a high speed collision and plan to take out his rival with such perfection without risking himself. It all happened too quick. Hamilton was indeed at more fault, hence he was given the penalty for his role. Clearly, both of them were responsible, both of them could do something to avoid collision. Max turned knowing Lewis was there, hoping Lewis would back out, Lewis did not back out hoping Max to give him more space. It all happened too quick and was inevitable.

      Agree 100%. It’s the clearest and fairest explanation I’ve seen so far. And shows why Lewis’s line was so bad and a no win situation for either of them. If this was a slower corner, then both drivers likely could of driven out of this without contact but this corner is taken at full throttle at 180 mph. That’s almost 300kmh.
      The fastest I’ve driven is 260 kmh and that was in a straight line. The thought of going around a corner at that speed, with someone so close to me is intimidating as heck. It just seems like it’s not the place to be making an aggressive challenge. People need to remember how fast these vehicles are moving. The crash resulted in a 51G impact which is horrific. Your internal organs can separate from their attachments under those loads. It’s a very serious thing with possibly life altering consequences.
      Max would have had no choice but to drive off of the track at 180 mph to avoid contact given Lewis’s line, whether he lifted or not.
      Drive hard and challenge ... sure.
      Just not on this corner at this speed.

      Imagine if corners had a multiplier effect. So a standard corner in this situation would be a ten second penalty, a low stakes corner like Austria T4 would be 0.5x so 5 seconds, and a high stakes corner like Copse would be x2 for 20 seconds?

      @craig6339 Před 2 lety +4

      I think it sounds like a good idea but the problem is the unintended consequences - Copse would probably be quite low-risk given the wide track, large amount of gravel runoff, and safety barriers (which will probably be extended for future races). Even after such a big shunt, Max came away relatively unscathed - so while it might make people feel better this weekend, it would end wheel-to-wheel racing in some of the most exciting places (e.g. Eau Rouge/Radillon would have to be high-risk) and make street circuits even more of a procession (due to lack of runoff areas).

      I'm not so sure. I understand where he's coming from and I wouldn't be mad if it did come into force but It effectively means some corners are worth more than others.
      In the case of copse, I think it's actually one of the best places on the track to make an overtake and you look like an absolute hero if you pull it off. (I am not buying Horner's thing about you don't make a move at copse) But if the driver knows that making a move there could result in a bigger penalty, then they won't risk it.
      Yes we have DRS but I personally want to see overtakes that make my jaw drop. And if you take this to the extreme it means that drivers may only risk moves on that DRS straight followed potentially by not risking overtaking at all. I know that this would never happen but I'm not sure this is the absolute best solution.

      Difficult to argue that F1 has consistently done that, seeing as Grosjean's 2012 incident as Spa was really rather minor in and off itself, but he got hammered with a straight race ban because of the aftermath. In recent times though, it definitely seems as though they have toned that down significantly, and in my opinion gone too far with it. I think consequences should never matter in the decision whether a driver was guilty of a rules breach or not, but they absolutely should matter in the severity of the penalty given.

      The aftermath should play a small part. It shouldn't be everything, but we need to understand that the same action under different circumstances can lead to wildly different consequences.
      If a driver taps another car in a slow corner(and sends the other car offtrack) and the victim car just drives through the grass a little before returning, sure give the offender a small penalty.
      But if the same exact action is done in a fast corner and the victim car was sent crashing into a wall at high speeds, the small penalty from before doesn't make sense.

This incident clearly showed the bastard mindset of Lewis and to drop deep down to earn crucial points in the championship, consequently, leading Max a DNF, which the Mercedes crew categorically said in there pre-race statement.

      While I don't disagree with the sentiment (safety first) you do risk turning a series where it is already difficult to overtake because of the nature of the cars into one where it is almost impossible because of the added risk of penalties. Also while I don't want to belittle the risks involved it has to be noted that aside from 2 freak accidents there haven't been many injuries as the results of crashes (even less if purely looking at driver/driver incidents rather than mechanical failure or driver error) in the last 20yrs so discouraging drivers from taking risks might seem counterproductive to the sport, the cars and circuits are very well designed to mitigate the risk of accidents when they do happen.
      (Please don't take this as "they knew the risks when they became racing drivers" viewpoint or a desire to return to the live-fast-die-young attitude of the pre 70's. I don't believe there should be excess risk involved and I have no desire to see anyone get hurt but we must accept an inherent level of risk involved in all motorsport and ythis is part of its appeal. I am proud of all those who have made the sport as safe as it is today through sacrifice, campaigning, science and technology.)

Pretty sure Kyvat crashed at the first Silverstone GP last year then an extension was added to the kerb in the same area too.
      Wrt the barrier at Copse, maybe this is further evidence that points to Lewis being “at fault” than “predominately at fault”. With the size of the cars now, that’s a square peg into a round hole trying to make that manoeuvre there causing Max to take a trajectory no one had predicted.

      ​@@mralireza931 Basically every current driver, every team manager (Except Red Bull & Alpha Tauri) have said that it was just hard racing where neither driver yielded, a few put more blame on Hamilton than Verstappen but one thing they all agreed on is that it was a racing incident.
      Explain how they do not have anything in common.
      1. Driver attempting the overtake decided to try on the inside of a corner
      2. Driver attempting the overtake went in too hot
      3. Driver attempting the overtake missed the apex of the corner
      4. Driver attempting the overtake made contact with the other driver
      5. Driver attempting the overtake succeeded in gaining a position
      6. Driver attempting the overtake ultimately forced the other driver wide/off the track
      Differences:
      1. Hamilton didn't go flying off into the wall.
      2. Hamilton didn't have to retire from the race.
      3. The speed was slower.
      4. There was arguably a lot more intent with the Barcelona incident.
      Both incidents are equally as bad as each other, you don't (shouldn't) penalize based on the outcome of an incident rather you penalize on the incident itself!
      If Hamilton had gone off into the wall or had a tyre/suspension failure in Barcelona then I can guarantee Verstappen would have received the same sort of penalty. Likewise if Verstappen had just ran a tiny bit wide and came back on behind/beside Hamilton in Copse I highly doubt any penalty would have been applied.
      It was wrong to penalize Hamilton this weekend, especially when no penalty was applied to Verstappen in Barcelona. Both incidents are were racing incidents and hard racing so in both cases neither driver deserved a penalty in my opinion.

    The second turn in from Verstappen is different from Schumacher’s one. The slight hesitation of steering positioned him just wide enough to give Hamilton a car width, and then came the second turn in to follow the corner naturally. This is evident on the onboards as Verstappen manage the gap to his right unlike Schumacher when he literally closed that gap
    Also to everyone saying Verstappen should have backed out because he was ‘the aggressive one all season’:
    You never consider the context behind a incident. The incident at silverstone was clearly Hamilton’s mistake. End of discussion.
    About the context though in which this case Verstappen taking his line at Imola and Spain. That was a harsh move from Verstappen and I think the stewards should stop those from happening. But they have repeatedly deemed it legal which is why Most of the drivers do that including Verstappen. The ‘leagal’ thing I mentioned is leaving no room when you are more than half a car ahead. If Hamilton was more than half a car ahead, there would be no complaints about him taking his line at copse. But what actually happened was the opposite. Verstappen was half a car ahead. So what was the point again?

      The issue imo is that Copse is a late apex corner (not the green paint, the 2nd Red bump on the inside of the black and white kerbing is the Apex).
      From what I see, Hamilton could've made the actual Apex but as Max isnt expecting Lewis to contest the corner he doesnt give him enough room on corner entry initially (thus you see him turn out of the corner [straighten up his wheel]).
      The only way an accident is avoided is if Hamilton HUGS the inside of the corner(not simply hit the Apex, I mean hug it throughout entry to Apex) and doesnt understeer into Max's path but he has taken too much speed to do that. He's expected Max to back out too
      I put more blame on Lewis because he initiates contact but I would call it a racing "Inshident" like Leclerc Alonso etc

    This is the first video about this topic I agree with to be honest. I found it rather difficult to watch any of the Sky Sports coverage because of how clearly biased they were towards Hamilton, with pretty much everyone except Jenson Button saying it should have been an unpenalised racing incident.
    But I also can't get over my own bias and see it purely objectively because I would really, really like Max to win the Drivers' Championship rather than Lewis. I have emotional stakes in my take so I can't view it as an outsider.
    This video worked for me. No, Lewis was probably never going to make that move stick, it was uncharacteristically desperate, he was never going to be in front of Max. But they are fighting for a Championship and neither intended on giving the other any breathing space.
    The final take of "I wouldn't be opposed to penalties getting scaled with the danger of a corner" will be my agreed takeaway.
    And hats off to having a go at doing this video! Very brave!

Lewis was clearly in the wrong, not by the absurd amount some of Max's fans seem to think but if you hit the other drivers rear wheel with your front then it's your fault really. I think it's fair he got a penalty and at the time I expected it to be either 10 seconds or a drive though with a drive through being a bit harsh and 10 seconds being a bit light. Honestly they need to be more willing to use things like 15 second and 20 second penalties so there can be a bit more flexibility in the penalties.

    My thing with all of this discussion is, and as you mentioned at 4:17, is that Lewis at the speed he was he could never stay on the right side even if Max would give him a bit space, it's impossible, so they would crush anyway. Or Lewis had to be first entering in the corner, that was not the case, or he had to brake, like he did with Charles, just before he took him. Well, my opinion is that Lewis had a cheap move, knowing that he had to pass him quickly otherwise it would be like Saturday, and Lewis couldn't accept it to lose in silverstone.

    I’ve been waiting for your video on this incident and wasn’t disappointed. A balanced and thoughtful discussion as expected. I do tend towards the to lenient camp and think Hamilton should have received at least a drive through mainly because of the higher danger involved at that part of the circuit.
    I also question if there is a need for a rule change so as not to penalise a driver who loses an engine as a result of an incident like this. As it stands, Verstapen has been severely penalised in losing all the points for the race and probable penalties later in the season when he suffers equipment failure. Such outcomes could encourage professional fouls. To be clear, I do not think that Ham committed such on this occasion, I just think he over cooked it in his desperation to gain track position while he still and the opportunity to do so.

      Other rules that should change are under red flag repairs can only be done in the pit lane meaning when the race resumes you have to start from the pit lane. You would think twice if a risky move puts you back and you have to drive through the field.
      10 sec penalty at your pit stop is weak and should be enforced within 3 laps instead. Why let it all space out so there is no impact? May as well skip it all together then.
      Lastly I know it is a dollars and cents thing and they are just being cheap but why don't they bring back the backup cars? Used to love the aggressive first lap moves that lead to crashes followed by everyone running for their backup cars while the track is cleared. (Yes Max fans I know it would not help when he was in no shape to run for the backup car but in plenty of other races it would make a difference)

      @@Jack-up2cf I dunno about the 10 sec thing, I mean, it's basically adding 10 seconds to your time when they do it post-race, so they shouldn't force them to also take another pitstop. Otherwise it just becomes a 10 second stop-and-go penalty

      @@Jack-up2cf The only sense I hear backup cars used is where Nascar teams bring one to a track in case of practice going badly. If they wreck in the race, they wreck and can't get the spare car out of the hauler.
      Still, yeah, given that they'd have to effectively double some of their costs, I don't see the backup car idea going too far.

    The best explanation of the incident so far. 👏
