A crash suited Verstappen yesterday but on Sunday a crash suits neither of them so it will be elbows out driving but reckless driving isn't a tactic that can be used

Some on here seem a little obsessed with crashing to take someone out. It's a bit daft as there is no guarantee the other guy will be damaged enough, plus the stewards actions afterwards... it's a bogie man idea.

The way Verstappen goes into these corners, especially when on the inside, he gets his car ahead by late braking (braking too late), any contact is then more likely to be Hamilton wing or wheel on Verstappens sidepod. Both Brazil and Saudi were the same, going too fast to make the corner but throws his car ahead of hamiltons, going across his line despite hamilton giving him space and MV running wide on the corner because he dived in too fast simply to get his car nose ahead and out of danger.

In these circumstance the risk is much more hamiltons.

Surprised Hamilton did not defend the inside more as he can run MV wide and MV's nose is then more at risk

Brazil he was naughty, but Saudi, nah. He was simply much quicker on that part of the circuit

Can't agree. Hamilton left him room at T1 and he didnt just take that room he went all the way across the corner and didnt even complete the corner because he didnt have full control......Yes he may have the faster car through that corner normally but in that instance he just chucked it up the inside to get his nose ahead

Is Verstappen ahead in the Championship by virtue of the win awarded at Belgium for the 2 laps completed behind the safety car?

Yip

Can't blame Verstappen for that, it was a ridiculous decision made my the race director.

The only way that it becomes important to the title race is if they both crash out or both are so far down the grid at the flag that there are only a couple of points in it

About to rewatch the whole thing again on SkyF1

Yesterday was exhausting so I’m hoping this time around I can sit back and enjoy it
