What’s your point? The guy is clearly alluding to what everyone has said for awhile now: max doesn’t yield. He’s been asked in the press before why he has so many incidents. Max takes risks that other drivers seldom do.ispano6 wrote: ↑21 Oct 2021, 21:11There is always the bowling ball Bottas. And there is Norris and Leclerc in the picture as well. HAM also said he won't back down, he could be aggressive like he was in Silverstone. First lap will be mayhem. Leclerc ruined Max's race at Suzuka in 2019 on the first corner, ironic that Max has never finished a race at Suzuka with Honda power. Almost remiscent of the Prost-Senna crash, which Ham knows very well and thought it was 'cool'.El Scorchio wrote: ↑21 Oct 2021, 18:46Precisely. Due to the circumstances in the title fight and this race being a 'must win' for Hamilton ahead of Mexico and Brazil, He has a huge need to get points on the board and incentive to win and finish the race. A double DNF really suits Verstappen here so he's absolutely not going to back out of anything. Should Hamilton be ahead in the championship at Mexico and/or Brazil, the shoe will be on the other foot and Hamilton won't be backing out.pb6797 wrote: ↑21 Oct 2021, 18:35
I am guessing that much as with Prost/Senna, the driver in front in the Championship has less to lose from a collision, provided they are both DNF. It's a high-risk strategy (imagine if Prost had managed to continue - Senna would have looked like a plank, in much the same way Schumacher on Villeneuve in 97 just made Schumacher look silly). But that is what I would infer from the poster's coment.
