Yeah he understeers on purpose. No locking of the front wheels, no attempt to add extra steering angle…he knew what he was doing.

It was clear as day without the onboard in my opinion and I remain baffled at the decision, especially when compared to other very similar incidents.

Norris at Austria is the obvious one where I think that was much more of a ‘let them race’ scenario but he still got punished.

While I think Mercedes have all the info required for it to be reviewed and a retrospective time penalty applied I’d be very surprised if they succeed.

But IF they do it will just add even more spice to the already rather spicy pot!

It definitely makes things even spicier. It’s also very interesting due to how max, Horner, and red bull in general reacted to what happened at silverstone, which was a very similar situation, I wouldn’t be surprised if Mercedes’ are making this point privately.

Red bull wanted a harsher penalty applied to Hamilton (he got a 10 second penalty iirc), whether anyone agrees with penalising him or not, but in a similar scenario, red bull were pushing for a ‘let them race’ mindset to be applied. The big difference is clearly the aftermath, but are red bull seriously trying to say that because Hamilton avoided a collision then there shouldn’t be a penalty?
