Well facts of the matter is Hamilton is a racer, Maldonado is a racer. Maldonado went off the track on the outside and lost control of the car and went into Hamilton who was on the track and taking the normal racing line. Shouldnt of Maldonado backed off? Yes in this case as he had lost any advantage he had against Hamilton.

Yes. But Maldonado never does what he suppose to do. Every driver knows that now.
Hamilton is the smarter racer and says he looks at the bigger picture this season. He should have done that here also.
 
No mate, it wasn't it was stupid attacking knowing that his tyres were finished and he could easily get him on the next straight. Maldonado is the same type of idiot as McLaren pit crew.
It's was stupid to defend pushing other guy off track knowing tyres are finished. I'm not saying Maldonado did a good job but Hamilton was usual brainless self.
 
Well i would of done the same even though my tires would of been knackered i never give up a spot without fighting till i lose it. Going around the outside against Hamilton was never gonna work.
It was working out fine but Hamilton forced Maldonado off the track. Pastor could have taken a shortcut and for sure receive a penalty. He dediced to continue and many drivers would have done the same since Pastor is not racing for the championship, Hamilton is and should have been smarter with Vettel DNF'ed.

One accident, two drivers, two different visions. Curious what the stewards will decide as it will be a hard decision.

But Hamilton likes to race wheel to wheel and i would presume doesn't judge people on pasts. In a racing context Hamilton was right to do what he did and thats all the FIA will look at. When people say he should be smart and this, that and the other it irks me to be honest as these guys race and in the heat of the moment it all goes out the window but hey its all we think as arm chair watchers.
 
Not happy. McLaren had another fail in the pits and Button was slow again. Hamilton should be more careful when his tires stopped working, but I don't blame him for that collision because other drivers defend exactly like that. However, I saw that coming. Also close gaps between cars were just an accident waiting to happen. Shame for KOB as well.

For me, they was battling for position until the moment when Pastor went out. In that moment he just needed to back off and overtake him in the straight.

We all know that Hamilton wont let anyone pass that easy and from where i see it, he didn't do anything bad.
