Whinger Spice and Max VerChrashen are joking if they think that was 50/50
what was the vibe on C4? We’re they 50/50?
Sky pundits were split but a slim majority blamed Max.

I think "racing incident" generally, but that Verstappen could have done what Hamilton did at turn 1. Plus that similar line to Silverstone that Verstappen never yields and is to used to Hamilton doing so, but now the latter has stopped.

What the Dutch press had to say
Algemeen Dagblad
The Algemeen Dagblad draws a comparison with a well-known game. "It was an image with eternal value. A scene the world will think back to twenty years from now when the fiercely fought championship of 2021 will be discussed. Max Verstappen with his car angled on top of rival Lewis Hamilton's black car. Like the two last sticks after a spirited game of Jenga."De Telegraaf
De Telegraaf sees the incident as confirmation that the battle between the two drivers has fully erupted. "The title battle between Max Verstappen and Lewis Hamilton is becoming more immersive and intense by the week. In Monza, it came to a second crash this season. This time the Dutchman was blamed. It is clear that both drivers do not give each other an inch anymore."De Volkskrant
According to De Volkskrant, the accident in Monza is not an isolated case. "The clash was the sequel to the collision between Verstappen and Hamilton at the GP of Great Britain, two months ago. There Hamilton hit Verstappen during an overtaking attempt, after which the Dutchman crashed hard and was taken to the hospital as a precaution. Hamilton was able to continue the race and eventually won."Het Parool
Het Parool found it painful to see that Verstappen had to walk a long way from his car to his team. "They had to walk back to the pits. According to Verstappen, Hamilton had not given him any room; on the contrary, the Briton thought the Red Bull driver had made a mistake."NRC
The contrast with a week ago could not be greater, according to NRC. "It was a long, lonely walk for Max Verstappen, once he stepped out of his wreck. Motherless alone, a minutes-long walk along the half-empty grandstands of the Autodromo Nazionale di Monza, back to the base of his team, Red Bull. The contrast with the orange party in Zandvoort, a week earlier, could not be greater."

I guess what Red Bull may do is mitigate the penalty by taking their 4th power-unit in Russia a track they can overtake if it is true that they will have to take an extra power-unit before the end of the season.

Honestly, where are you getting that from? Is he involved, letalone responsible for, significantly more crashes than the average driver? Particularly one racing for the title.

bit of a weird take on the incidents yesterday, was a repeat of what happen on the first lap when hamilton took the escape route around the corner and did not crash
Max should of back out but his ego would not let him and bang

Although either could have backed down I still think the severity of the accident was that the kerb threw Max into the air. I'm sure with a flatter kerb there would still have been an accident, but less serious. At least Hamilton wouldn't have had the car on his head.

Seems that the stewards are reluctant to penalise the world champion. Verstappen should have sought him out after the race and flattened him.

He's put Verstappen off twice now.

You know Hamilton got penalised after Silverstone right?

right after this urgent rest
He’s the first person I’ve ever put on ignore on this website, when it became clear he had a hatred and distrust of F1’s only black driver, so I won’t be reading his nonsense.

Verstappen ended up on top of Hamilton. Almost everyone is saying this was a case of two equally competitive title rivals not backing down when either could, but if anyone was to 'blame' it's Verstappen as he should have stopped attempting the pass and tried again another time.
And again, is Hamilton involved in significantly more crashes (or, if you must, putting other drivers off) than the average driver? Otherwise "only a matter of time" could apply to most drivers.

Others have pointed this out elsewhere, but if Hamilton was trying to reverse his car from underneath Verstappen's a) that's a decent indication that he's largely ok and b) most would probably agree it's best not to approach an F1 car in (potential) motion.That it truly the most disappointing aspect of this whole incident.
Although my respect for Max as a racing driver has grown, I've permanently lost some respect for his simple lack of humanity to check on whether Hamilton was ok.
Also, I haven't seen it myself but others have suggested he did look to Hamilton as he walked away, and saw that Lewis was ok.
a_chap
When the world came apart, where were you?
I'd be a little more convinced by that argument had Max not then walked directly behind the Merc.
That makes me thing that either Max didn't think Hamilton was trying to reverse it or that Max is actually an idiot...

I see Hamilton's crashed his car. Luckily for him other people pay their taxes, so hospitals are a thing that exists.
