That’s the thing I like about Hamilton, he divides opinion and with very little effort. Charles probably would have had my fist on the end of his nose if I’d have been Lewis. All good fun though, exciting to watch.It was appropriate. Sure the fact that it was Monza played a role. Would you honestly expect less from 2019’s FIA? Let them race. You can bet money Hamilton will be more aggressive starting in Singapore after his dumbass comment post race “the new generation drivers are being allowed to be more aggressive than the more skilled drivers. I can see that now.” I almost wet my pants laughing so hard. Ok Lewis be more aggressive. It’s not going to extend your career. Put you in anything other that a Mercedes that past 4 seasons and your an above average driver born with a golden spoon in your mouth. The writing is on the wall. I’ve never been shy about my dislike of Hamilton and his adolescent comments after the race were no different than a Mad Max temper tantrum.
But there was no penalty? Not sure what the problem was.
I agree with this. Seb deserved points on his Super License for that move. Even I was shocked by it.
They never penalize KMag and he weaves around the track like he's permanently warming his tires.
They also did not penalize Sainz for taking Albon to the edge, so if they had penalized LeClerc, that would have been "inconsistent".
Vettel has been docked three points on his license for the collision. He is now at 9 and at 12 he will be banned for one race.
Quite right too. He could have killed someone.They never penalize KMag and he weaves around the track like he's permanently warming his tires.

I agree Lewis has raced just as aggressive in the past and often not got away with it. Crowding someone off the track under breaking got LeClec the blank and white flag for dangerous driving but carried no penalty which means it’s changed the game which I think Lewis was alluding to. I watched his interviews and thought he seemed slightly annoyed but incredibly professional in his responses. Not sure what you meant by the tantrums as that was what I expected to see but didn’t?Alright, I’ll rescind my Golden Spoon comment. Hamilton has done the exact same thing to dozens of drivers over the years. They should have had their fists in his face those times as well.
I was simply ticked off at his comment that the new generation is being allowed to drive differently than his implying his generation are more skilled. To stand there and somehow minimize Leclerc’s driving ability due to his age was simply another exercise in self absorption by Lewis. Leclerc is the real deal, a class act, and more mature than Hamilton will ever be.
Lewis needs to spend a weekend watching his replays from his early 20’s before making more comments about how much more “seasoned/skilled” he is compared to the approaching generation. He is in his twilight and I look forward to his eventual retirement from F1.
But it’s basically a warning. Better than a drive through which would have ruined the race.
I’m certainly enjoying the Ferraris and Mercs being close in race pace.
Two individuals can view the same interview and come away with differing interpretations.
inconsistencies is a problem. Mad Max got a penalty for the same move Leclerc made on Lewis. He also got away with not getting a penalty when he pushed Leclerc off the track. I am all for letting them race but you have to stay consistent. A black and white flag is not a penalty.It was appropriate. Sure the fact that it was Monza played a role.

He did get 3 points on his super license for the incident. With regard to the Leclerc Hamilton incident. There is a serious risk that these incidents are going to make things more dangerous. Leclerc learned a lesson from the incident with Max when he was pushed off the track. He said it himself at the time when he said that if this is what is allowed he will change the way he drives in the future. Lewis is in a completely different position to the rest of the drivers. There is no reason for him to be extra aggressive and take risk that will take him out of the points in any race for the rest of this year. He is so far ahead of the rest of the drivers that he will always make the calculation that any points is better than none. Next year we can expect him to have a different attitude.Alright, I’ll rescind my Golden Spoon comment. Hamilton has done the exact same thing to dozens of drivers over the years.

Clearly yes.Two individuals can view the same interview and come away with differing interpretations.
You’re the only one with that opinion. But you are very biased when it comes to Lewis. Haters are going to hate.
Plenty of drivers have got penalties for crowding others off the circuit in the braking zone though. Verstappen the most recent I think? I can’t see how Lewis was at fault even a little bit here as he was already on the outside at the limit. Charles didn’t need to push him towards the grass from the inside. The FIA need to clarify really as I can see other drivers doing this, most definitely Lewis as they would be well within their rights.
Haters? Yes probably. But most can be somewhat balanced. To say Lewis was at fault a bit is nuts.No. There are others in here.
