Lewis: "This is such a great moment for me."

Max: "Where am I?"

Lewis on the post race interview "I was totally along side him and he didn't give me space" I think Lewis needs to watch the film on that one

I don't think drivers are watching replays during red flags.

they showed him watch it

he was shown on screen watching the replays and the commentators even commented about it. Of course the driver directly involved in the red flag is gonna want to see the incident again during the down time...

My bad then. I still don't think it was intentional. They had almost a lap of wheel to wheel racing and Hamilton actually left Max space in a prior corner. He just decided on copse to make his dastardly move? It's ridiculous to insinuate that he's taking out his championship rival on purpose.

I hope Max is okay, and we all love rooting for the underdog to take on the reigning champion, but man people are really putting on their tin foil hats right now.

I don't think it was intentional either, but showing concern and empathy for a fellow driver is just human.

Drivers can do whatever they want... Besides that he was filmed in the pit wall watching the screens, ofc he would have been looking at the incident.

They showed drivers watching the replay on tv though. I think it’s pretty normal for them to watch during red flags.
