But you've summed up on your post exactly why it is a racing incident, both drivers could have done things differently to avoid the incident.

Also, on Brundles quote


Brundle has contradicted himself in that sentence. You can't absolve Max of blame and then say he could have left a little more space, although I would change that to he "should" have left more space, just like LeClerc did even though Hamilton was further behind into Copse at that point than he was on Max. That's the difference between a driver using (LeClerc) and not using his brain (Max).
I really don't see that as a contradiction. You can always leave more room, or even back out of it completely and let the other driver have the corner.

But we will just have to agree to disagree on the matter regardless of what others think. I can appreciate that your opinion differs from mine and you have a right to it, and that you aren't one of the people engaging in the childish personal attacks but rather debating the issue at hand.

You are not .
Thanks Baggy. I guess through the years I've seen people get too wrapped up with the idol worship approach, and it's never suited me. I can't think of a single driver who hasn't got it wrong on plenty of occasions, and quite a few of them were considered some of the greatest. Some screwed it up less than others, but they all screwed it up at some point.

And though IMHO a mistake, I didn't think it was intentional on the part of Lewis. And it was a far shout from Schumacher putting the Hakk into the grass at 190 mph, even when the rule back then more or less allowed it. But in a similar sense, any risky move should weigh the potential consequences for both drivers, and 180 mph certainly isn't slow.

But.... much like yourself I'm not going to attack anyone over a difference of opinion.
