- 12 Sep 21, 21:06#447307I'm gonna start with the positive, well done Daniel Ricciardo and McLaren, it's awesome to see McLaren on the top step again, Lando Norris getting second was a bonus, and it was on pace, clearly, the McLaren had pace in hand for Ricciardo to set the fastest lap time on an old set of tires on the final lap, Also great drive for George Russell, another points finish.
IMO, a racing incident for Hamilton - Verstappen, of course, the stewards thought otherwise. It baffles me when they say it was predominantly Verstappen's fault, but continue on to say that Hamilton could have done more to avoid the collision. You do wonder, if, at Silverstone, both drivers were out, would Hamilton have gotten a 3 place grid drop?
That said, I am really enjoying the rivalry this season, F1 fans have been screaming out for this kind of battle for a decade. Unlike OB, I don't think Hamilton deliberately took out Verstappen, even if there are shades of Senna v Prost!
