I just need to know what the hell happened on that wreck. Even if Lewis hadn't been told that Max was letting him pass, he was going so slow he could've ran around him no problem.

No matter who was at fault in any of that, the ending of that just doesn't feel very good.
What's the deal with the announcers dogging Max
No matter the driver you are rooting for, this circuit clearly is too dangerous.

I think these guys usually lean (slightly) MB. My opinion of course.

Agree. Not sure why they are punishing him so much.
This race is **** and so is the track. MB can EAD too. The constant whining is getting old.
Just ****ing race!
Just ****ing race!
WTF did I just watch?

Max races excessively aggressive. Like I said earlier he needs some more maturity.
And I like him. I'd like to see him win the championship. But I can still see that he doesn't give up when he should at times.
I think that's why they started piling on.
"I didn't understand why he hit the brakes and then I ran into the back of him"……maybe go around him instead….

Sky lean British by a good bit. It's a pretty commonly held opinion.
I don't fault them for it but it's definitely there.

Totally agree with this.
Max has his faults but I don't know why we're not questioning Hamilton at all. Max slowed down, instead of going around him, Hamilton got on his ass. Why? And what do you want Max to do in that situation? Just speed up and resume racing? Slow down further? Flip on the hazards and park to let Hamilton pass?
Worst from that situation was Hamilton playing to the stewards on team radio. He's not the only one that does it but it's gotten so bad this year.
He obviously recognized Max was slowing and had time to down shift a ton to then dramatically declare Max brake tested him. /eyeroll

Am I the only one that lost sound when they asked Max about the incident? Did they cut the mic feed?
Max walks off podium before champagne
I also lost audio
Nope you weren't the only one.

Lewis looked pretty happy accepting trophy from those human rights monsters.

Love how they also ignored the booing and instead talked about how much support he gets from the fans!

I think it's pretty obvious what happened there. A split second before Max got the call to let Hamilton pass, Hamilton was maintaining the slip stream from Max in order to prepare for a pass. Max then got the call to let Hamilton pass and knew he was gonna be passed anyway. At this time Hamilton hadn't been notified of the decision. So Max either lifts completely or brakes and Hamilton has no where to go. It was bad timing.
What are the odds that Abu Dhabi gives us a repeat of '89 & '90 Senna/Prost Suzuka where an opening lap crash decides the championship?
Lmao. He had time to pass. He had time to downshift and get behind him. That took longer than it would've taken to just pass

Any chance max loses points from this?

He shouldn't, they already assessed the 5 second penalty on top of letting Hamilton pass
Sky sports explanation of Max trying to make sure the pass happens before the DRS line makes sense

I think your hate for Lewis is making you look at this in a negative light. I think it was just really really bad timing with on track scenario creating a perfect storm with communication delays.

Zero chance to react when you don't expect a car to suddenly decelerate. Max was in the middle of the track when he did it, a huge no no.

It is clearly obvious what happened there. Lewis drove straight into a slower car. It's his own dumbass fault.

Funny enough Max caused no incidents today. Unless you're going to argue that he brake checked him. I didn't see any lights. Lewis on the other hand made contract with two cars.....
