On overall balance I think itās not too wild to filter this as a racing incident and leave it there, but I agree that even suggesting Lewis should have done more is strange. Itās definitely on Max here.
I feel like its rare they donāt blame one driver for late race incidents. With no evidence or examples, I feel like Iāve seen more questionable incidents lead to penalties. I know they say they donāt take outcome into consideration, but both cars drove away mostly undamaged and Max lost a few places.
If Max had taken them both out, which was entirely possible, then weād be looking at this very differently. Heās definitely very unsettled now which is showing in his driving and radio
Heās insufferable on the radio, honestly. I only got a chance to watch 10 minutes of highlights and he annoyed me to no end in that time. Being pissy with his team and then with everyone else.
