The overhead shot shows it best IMHO, especially slowed down to 0.5x speed.Cs98 wrote: ↑04 May 2024, 19:13Watch from Hamilton's perspective, it becomes pretty obvious who causes the majority of the damage and the ultimate domino that hits Norris. The AMRs were having slight contact, Hamilton escalated to a major incident.chrisc90 wrote: ↑04 May 2024, 19:09Alonso actually hit Stroll first, marginally before Lewis hit Alonso.venkyhere wrote: ↑04 May 2024, 19:07Everyone knows KMag drives like an evil spirit when he has to defend. HAM should know better, use his experience. It was sad to HAM complaining "he pushed me wide" into T11 (or was it T17?) when both of them were on a "who brakes last" blinking contest. The cars were nowhere close enough for contact. Ham divebombed into T1 at the start of the race, was nowhere near the apex, braked super-late and washed wide into the middle of the corner to hit ALO and then trigger the pile-up. ALO and STR would've come together 0.1s later anyway, even if HAM wasn't there. Notwithstanding that, I think HAM drove like a headless chicken into T1. Deserved a penalty for that.
Alonso/stroll contact first, then Lewis carrying too much speed, locking up and hitting Alonso.
What is hard to determine is whether Lewis' contact caused Stroll to hit Norris. I think its 50-50 with that one.
