It was not a case of Hamilton driving into Verstappen per se. They just raced too close without giving each other enough room.

The steering videos showed Hamilton at full right lock trying to turn round the corner. It also showed Verstappen make a small adjustment left and then turned right which locked the wheels of both cars.

So when you ask these sorts of questions, you should stop for a moment and ask what the other driver has done to prevent the accident. It was a shared fault by both drivers. That is what racing is about. It is not a Sunday drive to the shops. Any racing driver that is unprepared to fight at a corner has no business being in F1. The idea of backing off is for losers.
I wonder if you really know how condescending your first line is , and that it invokes incendiary replies ?

The stewards found that Max had left room at the apex for Lewis .

Given that he has since proclaimed that he didn't think Max would back out of it kind of implies he expected contact , since he didn't chose to back out of it , either .
He perhaps should have said he expected Max to back out of it because he was right alongside , and stuck with that .
