Seems eerily quiet from Max fans about the Hamilton incident last weekend.......
Like, those that called for Hamilton's head when they clashed at Silverstone THAT time?
No noise about calling for Russell's head when he sent Hamilton flying off?
It is literally the same move. If one thinks Hamilton is the guilty party this last race, the same should be applied to Verstappen last time around.
I do think Hamilton is guilty here, but I am more on the fence for either a racing incident at Silverstone or Verstappen at fault for turning into Hamilton. Back in 2021 the stewards were consistent on calling fault on the inside car, so the penalty on Hamilton then is fair even when it was Verstappen that tried to chop him off.
Regardless, outside of the immediate reactions from both drivers at the time, it's interesting to hear the in car radio from Russell during the safety car period that he thought he was the one at fault, and then Hamilton quickly take responsibility like the gentleman he is and then the clip of them talking and smiling after the race from the Mercedes IG story. AND we never see a clip of Toto destroying another headset or the table. Fun time.
