Another case of someone judging the incident based on the outcome, and not objectively looking at the actions.ringo wrote: ↑08 Jun 2025, 06:43The touch with Charles is a non story. Touch on the straight, with no damage or compromised pace from either car.
Max was the slower car being overtaken and held his ground when the position was lost. In fact I would say he was pushing Charles into the marbles on the right side. Charles drove by and was merging onto the racing line not expecting Max to be holding firm when he had no reason to be there anyway.
It's nothing. The event didn't even last a millisecond. Had Max stayed on the left, he would have been able to defend from Russell.
Charles goes to overtake and then cuts back across and makes contact with Max. And slight differences and both of them are heading into the wall at 170mph.
