This is a race not a Sunday drive! Was a racing incident and was also first lap. Stewards punish because Max goes out. This is not how rules should be applied.
Perhaps you don’t know guidance to stewards, it say this...
What do the rules say?
Mercedes boss Toto Wolff made reference after the race to the stewards' overtaking guidelines, which he said allowed Hamilton to make the move.
These are not distributed publicly, but they have been seen by BBC Sport. They contain images of two cars on entry to a corner, and illustrate when a driver trying to pass has the right to claim it.
They state that if the driver on the inside has "a significant overlap" then "the corner is yours provided you make the corner cleanly". In the image in this illustration, the overtaking car is not even as far alongside as Hamilton was as they turned into Copse on Sunday.
And ALONSO, he say this...
And Fernando Alonso, a two-time world champion, who has passed people around the outside of Copse a number of times in his career - including in the sprint race on Saturday - said: "Lewis had more than half a car alongside Max, so in a way Lewis could not disappear from that inside line. You can't vanish. So it was an unfortunate moment but nothing intentional and nothing that any of the two drivers did wrong."
And Charles Leclerc, who follow and see it all...
Ferrari's Charles Leclerc was right behind the collision and inherited the lead after it, and lost what would have been his first victory of the year when Hamilton passed him for the win with two laps to go. He said: "It is a racing incident. It is quite difficult to put the blame on one or the other.
But perhaps you know better than these people who were actually in the race and make the moves like that?
Clear it is that you dislike Hamilton for some reason and are unable to make fair comment on anything he does. I see this with you a lot. Why you don’t like him? Or least of all acknowledge his skill?
LH was on his line and on side. It was MV who squeezed giving no space and caused the contact. You may watch the old races, there had been many incidences like that and didn't warrant an investigation. But of course the difference is that, the drivers were not from Mercedes nor black.
