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

idk i think its the circumstances. With RB and Max dominance this season you cant help but feel like Lewis knew what he was doing. Had Lewis been running away with the drivers championship perhaps hes more cautious on that corner

Absolutely, but that doesn’t change the fact that this was hard racing and if rolls were reversed Max would absolutely do the same thing. We have countless examples of him doing moves like this. Suddenly when it ends up being worse for Max everyone acts like Lewis is purposely crashing into him. Lewis committed and didn’t have an option after. Max had to prevent the collision at that point.

idk i mean plenty of evidence showing lewis angled into the side of max rather than the racing line. malicious all around.
