2021 Race 10 - British Grand Prix

Until I've seen it, I don't have an opinion yet, I'm only listening on 5 live.

Well, approaching the corner, Hamilton was behind Verstappen and catching up fast. Verstappen could see that and jig left to cover the outside, but Hamilton ducked right and came alongside Verstappen, but really close to the pit wall. Which compromised his turn into the approaching right-hand corner. Hence, he could not hug the apex of the corner but was forced to the centre of the track, where Verstappen was trying to put his car to close down Hamilton. Verstappen's rear tyre banged into Hamilton's front left and he spun off into the barriers.

It was simply hard racing and really a racing incident. If it was anyone else, l am sure the stewards would declare it a racing incident. But it is Hamilton, they would definitely give him a penalty. We think 5 seconds penalty, but don't be surprised if it is a lot more.

The commentators on channel four were very quick to blame Hamilton for the incident. They expect a penalty for Hamilton. So it is a matter of time.
