I will take this opportunity to give you my take on the incident involving Hamilton and Max.
In motor racing, whoever enters the corner first, has the “right of way”, also whoever is closest to the corner, has the right of way if both cars are equal before entering a corner.
With this in mind, let us look at the incident. Hamilton had the inside line BEFORE approaching the corner which is a chicane, i.e. a right hand turn to be followed by a left hand turn; because he was on the inside, the corner became more acute & therefore must brake earlier which allowed Max to catch up & right before turning the right hand corner, Max was ahead of Hamilton.
At this point, Max tried to squeeze Hamilton onto the gravel track, but Hamilton held his line and they touched. Mind you, Max didn’t have to squeeze Hamilton at the first corner because there was a left hand corner immediately after the right, if Max had taken the usual racing line, the subsequently left hand corner will COMFORTABLY placed Max ahead of Hamilton.
Also from the video, we can see Max’s right front tire came off as a result of the incident. So, I can safely say, Max hit Hamilton’s car first BEFORE what was shown on the video. This basically changed the whole perspective of the incident.
So, it was a racing accident and if we must find fault, then Max had himself to blame because he caused it!
