What a fightback this has been from Hamilton. After falling short in USA I basically said they had to win 4 out of the last 5 races, and being well beaten as expected in Mexico that they then required to win all the remaining races.

He hasn't finished the job yet, but imo we have seen Hamilton at his absolute peak. He's just been on a different level. You can have your Sennas, Clarks and Schumachers.. none of them would have risen to the challenge as well as Hamilton has. He is the greatest we have ever seen.

Some utter crap being talked about here on Sky F1. Max knows what he is doing. Otherwise move properly over.

Think they are starting to realise the problem. If they punish Verstappen now, the championship ends.
Everyone outside of Merc is now more concerned with the product rather than the sport

Ant Davidson is on point, from footage i dont think its brake checking... think it was Max trying to get DRS and Hamilton being wise to it. Similar to Hamilton and Alonso in Canada several years back

He wouldn't have gone into the back of him if so, he'd have pulled to the side. If he was really worried about that, he'd have stayed behind at all costs to the line.

It's possible, but same net result - dangerous driving, because watching Verstappen's on board there's a very severe last bit of braking before the collision, so regardless of the reason it's Verstappen who caused it.

Yep nails it.

He will on count back won't he 9 wins to 8.

Yes.
FIA need to be prepared to throw him (or anyone) out of the championship if they deem that there's been a blatent deliberate crash.

Actually I think the best thing would be for them to DQ him from the result of this race, so he goes into AD behind on points.

That was Verstappen's fault. I don't even think there is a debate, it's pretty obvious.

His mentality over the last few races has been incredible - just relentless and forced mistakes out of Verstappen. Incredible to watch.

Ms Piquet better watch herself tonight.

TBF her old man could dish out a few right hooks too

I'm no Hamilton fan, but he is on another level to Verstappen as a driver. He's the best I've watched except Schumacher.

Oh yes...

Wouldn't DSQ him as that would take the interest out of the race but it would be good to drop him 6 points behind by giving him 4th meaning who wins in AD wins and he can't just wipe out Hamilton.

One place will do it. Hamilton just needs to be ahead, so that verstappen can't ram him off.

Odds ahve just massiely shortened for Hamilton. Max must have been punished further

 

[Lapeno77]

Unbelievable...
Remember, 3 reprimands result in a 10 place grid penalty. Hamilton is currently on 2
