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.Last edited by Nitrodaze; 21st July 2021 at 19:40.

But why should he care. To back off means to let Verstappen bully his way into winning the championship. Racing is not about bullying but expert racecraft to fairly get ahead and win. Beating your opponent fair and square is where the respect is at. Not bullying. You are delusional if you think Hamilton or any other driver would put up with persistent bully driving from Verstappen.
I actually think this would give other drivers a wake-up call to not tolerate Verstappen's antics anymore also.Better a witty fool than a foolish wit.

There is not a speed where such a statement should be made. It would be made at whatever speed the bullying is taking place. At Silverstone, it took place at the fast-flowing corner of Corpse at 180 mph. That is the moment, speed and corner that Verstappen sought a response.

All 3 manufacturers are pushing for things to remain until the end of the 26. Not even the goons running the WRC will be stupid enough to push them out by forcing new regs for 25
