The route to success can be ugly at times, even when it is just the sort of racing that we want to see, some would find reason to criticize. I suppose some want a very sanitized race where there is no touching or hard racing that cause cars to go off the track. Just an orderly fast procession where everyone take their start positions and drive fast to the end of the race. Any attempt to change position would be frowned upon harshly.

You either want great racing or you don't.
I cant believe you just said that, Jens is actually one of the least biased posters in this forum and Imo just tells it how he sees it objectively. I was less generous of Lewis's Austin dive and felt that he could still have given Nico the room and changed his line after the initial understeer moment, Brundle also clearly felt the same btw.

Hamilton is obviously a fantastic driver at the top of his game, very exciting, great to watch and I like his aggressive style but he is not perfect and cant always be faultless. He has the focus of the world on him at the sharp end of the grid, its inevitable that flashpoints and incidents will happen. questions will be asked and opinions will be given.

Like any other driver on the grid I'll praise him when he does well and criticize him when I feel he deserves it but its nothing personal to Lewis or any of his fans.
