acket.
You accelerate between turn 1 and 2, once Ocon didn’t get the move cleanly done in 1 he shouldn’t have attacked from behind into 2. He didn’t need to go anywhere or disappear, he just need not to put himself there once the initial move failed. If it was for position I would have said max’s fault but it wasn’t, it was unlapping and the onus was on Ocon to do it cleanly and he was just too aggresive.
That said, I also agree with Hamilton, max had a lot more to lose and should have driven smarter.
The onus is always on the driver behind to pass cleanly, but we also have a b-pillar rule (which I guess in open wheel terms is the roll hoop) that also places onus on the leading car to give room if a pass hasn't been completed yet.
Ocon was making a clean pass, and they could've continued side-by-side through the second left-hander as well. My view is that Verstappen violated the b-pillar rule in the second part of the s-bend and turned in on Ocon.
If it was a battle for position, it would clearly be Verstappen's fault.
Is the exhaust considered part of the ICE? Or can it be changed out without penalty?
serious crash involving driver Sophia Flörsch in the Formula 3 race (video may be disturbing)...apparently 5 people injured but alive.

Just wanted to let everybody know that I am fine but will be going into Surgery tomorow morning. Thanks to the @fia and @hwaag_official @MercedesAMGF1 who are taking great care of me.
Thanks to everybody for the Supporting messages.
Update soon.
Amazing after that crash...
That doesn’t even look real. It’s like she was running a completely different race. I would love to hear how she was going twice as fast as everyone else. Edit...two wheels fell off the car earlier on the straight after making contact with debris from another crash off camera. That would do it.
Most disturbing thing I’ve seen this season is the Ferrari pit guy getting his leg mangled. That was just ugly.
