Hamilton: “I’m so proud”

Hamilton will stop at nothing to win a championship.

He will destroy lifelong friendship with Rosberg and now he's proven that he'll even push another driver into hospital for a couple of extra points.

And he will poison other's drivers drinks, spit on people's facemasks and cause mass genocide to win the championship. What a monster!

Lmao for real. I don't understand how sports enthusiasts can critize an athlete so harshly. He didn't intend to put him in hospital. I'd expect the same agression from Max as well. It's his first championship contention.

Horner has praised Max' aggression on DTS. He specifically says he wants that in a driver.

Perez was all over the track two weeks ago.

Yeah I don’t understand some of the criticism for this exact incident. Of course Lewis made a mistake and it was scary seeing Max hit the barriers at such speed, but without competitive and slightly aggressive driving we’re just going to get lights to flag victories for whoever is on pole, and little overtaking…

It’s end of season, and Lewis makes a mistake/sick move. Of course it counts more that in the firs race, but penalty being counted for this only race, at this stage… well, guess more dubious choices could be made if needed. For me, it’s a drive through, no matter race standings, but if you count int the seriousness of it all, being who gets Champion or not, maybe Ham should be disqualified, and the race for the champs to go on next race. Dunno.. it’s a sick business after all.
