2021 Race 10 - British Grand Prix

[Nitrodaze]

What a really disappointing post from you Nitro..

Senna might have done the same but that doesn't make it great. That was a 51G impact, Max could have been seriously injured or worse, to profit from victory in this way at Max's expense is certainly nothing to gloat about.

Sure he won and overcame a 10 sec penalty but thats not THAT impressive considering the Merc was about 1 sec faster a lap than the Ferrari anyway.

Make no mistake mate, l was just as worried about Verstappen as anyone. I am genuinely happy to hear he is ok. But this is motor racing. To avoid these sorts of situations, it is important that there is mutual respect between the drivers. And to know when not to push the envelope of competition. Today both drivers pushed the envelope as one would expect in a championship fight. Hence, this crash was a long time coming. I said it at the first race of the season when Verstappen aggressively took Hamilton's front wing.

And there is no gloating here. It is racing as we see it. And it is a very important lesson for all, that every driver on the grid can drive very aggressively too. It is not an entitlement for any one driver. We saw it with the Baku crash with Ricciardo and the Singapore Crash in the Vettel Raikkonen sandwich.

I think this crash was avoidable with some mutual track spatial respect. The way both drivers drove into Corpse corner did not have that. And that crash was the outcome.

Yes, Verstappen was the victim of the crash, that does not absolve him from his part in bringing about the crash.

I hope lessons has been learnt to avoid a repeat of this situation.
