Sounds like thinks will be heated in Hungry. Can’t say I’m surprised. If people were saying Max was in intensive care, then yes celebrating would be disrespectful. But everyone was saying it’s just a precaution.
The celebrating by Hamilton was not just disrespectful, it was completely out of proportion given the incredible luck he had to have to win.
The man was on his home track packed with fans who were not sure they would be allowed to attend only a handful of weeks before due to COVID's resurgence in the UK and who were cheering loud and hard for him the entire weekend. He also would have known Max was physically okay* based on reports from the Medical Car team at the scene to Race Control which would have been monitored by the teams. I say let them all celebrate an amazing drive.
They didn't need to replace the wing and they would have swapped tires as a precaution under the Safety Car which would have taken care of the cracked rim they found. So in the end, the Red Flag didn't really make much of a difference to the state of his car and he would have likely resumed after the SC in the same position he resumed after the Red Flag.

Think you must have seen a different race.The celebrating by Hamilton was not just disrespectful, it was completely out of proportion given the incredible luck he had to have to win. Repairs under red flag, team ordered overtake, not to mention the fact he should’ve crashed along side Max the way he drove into him. Ham was acting like he won the world championship and even blamed Max in the interview. 10 sec penalty would’ve been fine, but RBR 0 points, grid penalty for next race, that’s all much worse than just the incident itself.
It’s not really the racing incident that’s controversial, it’s the aftermath.
There you go, some Dutch Verstappen-bias in the thread. It was definitely missing 😁
Absolutely. Just let them get on and race. We can leave all the drama for reality TV. Going to be tasty for the rest of the season.What made me laugh the most was the criticism from Horner and Max about Hamilton celebrating his victory lol. Horner had no issues with podium celebrations with his driver in second place in Bahrain 2020 when Grosjean was hospitalised. The double standards and politics that Red Bull are pulling here are laughable.
Get over it Horner, your guy had a coming together on track where he was 50% at fault and unfortunately came off worse. This was a racing incident all day long and it seems most of the drivers and team principles seem to agree. Move on, it’s not like Red Bull aren’t going to be back in front this season with the performance differences etc. It was a great race and a great outcome for British fans. I appreciate this must hurt for the Milton Keynes team but Max has performed his fair share of these types of moves and somehow it’s wrong when he comes off worse for once.

Exactly. Because if the roles were reversed and it was Max winning the Austrian Grand Prix, we all know for a fact he wouldn't have celebrated at all. Not in a million years. And even if he were tempted to, Horner would have made sure not so much as a smile appeared on his face.The celebrating by Hamilton was not just disrespectful, it was completely out of proportion

While I think HAM did nothing wrong in terms of celebration (or driving for that matter), I am curious on the timing.
When HAM was celebrating and the all of the aftermath, was VER condition already known? That he was medically cleared?
If it was, then it's just a bunch of men acting like boys.
It was. Very much so.While I think HAM did nothing wrong in terms of celebration (or driving for that matter), I am curious on the timing.

Exactly. We all know in racing sometimes it’s about who’s going to back out first in a bend. Max has been very good at making the other guy blink first. This time it was his turn to come of worse. What goes around, comes around.He was on the footage during the red flag talking with doctors outside of his car, so I think most assumed he was ok. Hamilton asked on the radio about his condition too but this wasn’t largely spoken about for some reason or broadcast.
I think this race meant a lot to Lewis after the past year and the fact he hunted down the lead. I think he probably wanted to also show it was his race, in case the FIA take advice from the journalists instead of their stewards etc. Lewis is getting a lot of hate of late due to his personal beliefs outside of the sport, plus he’s been a bit too successful in his career so is automatically a baddie. I do wonder if Horner regrets his comments about the penalties Perez got in Austria now? There’s so much double standards here.
I did see a stat that’s suggested Max has been in 13 driver collisions since 2015. Lewis has been in 9 since his debut in 2007.

I guess we (at least I) know why Tom Cruise was at the race over the weekend.

Isn’t it Mission Impossible something or other?He’s been in Britain since the Euro’s and that Porsche segment for channel 4 was just an ad really. I think he’s over here filming something maybe?
