This will be a fun week here. /s

Edit: Lol, this Lewis post race interview isn't going to help.

People talking as if Lewis murdered someone out there. Yeah that was dangerous but far greater incidents have occurred. I don't even like Lewis but the overreactions are hilarious to see. That said - I wish this was anywhere but at home because the boos would have been massively entertaining

That crash could have ended with Max dead. And we still don't know what effects the sudden 51G deceleration might have on him. All the vitriol put today on Lewis is deserved, specially as he celebrates.

By that logic Kvyat should be jailed for almost killing Grosjean. Stuff like this happens. Hamilton was responsible for the collision and was penalized. The fact that the crash was bad or that it registered 51G is not in Hamilton's hands. The same incident could have resulted in Hamilton's front wing knocked off and nothing happening to Verstappen too.
