2021 Race 10 - British Grand Prix

I get that Max has a reputation for being pushy , but pretty much all agree he has toned it down a long way from back then .

This wasn't that .
Yes , it was aggressive , and yes , it was risky , but it was also good racecraft .
He kept Lewis tight down the straight approaching the corner , and then took the racing line , knowing that Lewis would know he was too tight to make the corner at that speed , and then left room inside for him to do it .
Leclerc didn't keep Lewis in tight , and lost the fight , because Lewis had a better line in .

You describe well the reason why a crash was inevitable at Corpse corner. One cannot keep a competitor who is alongside you, tight approaching a corner and expect them to back off to let you waltz through with ease. Your competitor would hug you tight as well to force you to take a wider line through the corner. That is fighting through the corner. What is good for the goose is good for the gander.

Well, he did not make allowances for Hamilton fighting him through the corner and turn into Hamilton, causing the crash. It was very daft. And you chaps just keep making a mockery of yourselves describing why it was dumb driving.

BTW Leclerc has his head well screwed on. A proper smart driver that thinks well on his feet.
