I hope they crash and burn when they take ownership of their own engine from next year. I think they're aware that this year may be their best shot of winning both titles because they may fear that the next few seasons will be trickier than anticipated.
We don't know what's going to happen next year yet, so predictions about it can't be made this far out. We don't know if Mercedes will continue to dominate, or if they'll collapse in a heap like Red Bull did, at the outset of the hybrid era.
I'm not Hamilton's biggest fan but you're not being fair here. You are making the same mistake Red Bull did (though in their case, it was a mix of PR and raw emotions): you are judging Hamilton based on the information YOU had.
He most likely had absolutely no idea Max was even in the hospital. When he asked his engineer if Max was ok, he was told he was out of the car. And during the red flag, he probably saw the images of Max being winded, but seemingly ok. He had not reason to suspect otherwise.
And as he felt Max was mostly to blame for the crash, why on earth would he not celebrate winning his home grand prix???
Also, you're basically saying it's ok for Max to be aggressive, but not for Lewis? How does that even make sense in your mind?
I didn't basically say it, I didn't say it at all, so it doesn't make sense. I have no problem with aggressive drivers, there should be more of them. But when one of them kicks another driver off the track just because he wants to win his home race, then he has questions to answer.
Of course he doesn't think he was responsible for the crash, but you don't get a 10 second penalty from the stewards for nothing, so he can expect a few more penalties if he tries similiar moves in future races. He has gone round that corner thousands of times in his career, so he should know by now when it's safe to overtake there or not. He sent a driver off the track, he saw the replays of it when the race was stopped, then he saw him taken into a waiting ambulance. So he already had a fairly good idea of what happened. Therefore the comments by Verstappen about his celebrations, are correct.
Another bloated ramble. We get it - you don't like Lewis Hamilton. No need to bore us.
That's because it's not boring. What you call a ramble was a response to your ludicrous claim that the crash was just a racing incident, then blame someone for it.
Neither you, the manc spy, or anyone else will find a phrase in any of my 3,250 posts to date that states I "don't like Lewis Hamilton", so that's just lieing for the sake of it. But I'm not a fully paid up member of his fanclub either. He won the only race that I have ever attended, I brought no flags to it, no banners, bought any merchandise or cheered for anyone. I am a fan of the sport, not one driver/team over another.
