If I’m the only one who thinks Hamilton pulled a slightly dick-ish move today?

Whether it took anything away from the result is another thing. Just thought this was quite a dick move after what happened in Spain. If he felt like he should have gotten room from Rosberg then, he should have definitely left room for Ricciardo here.

I’ve got no problem with defending your position, and thought the incident in Spain was a boneheaded move from both of the Mercedes drivers. This one is a little different, since Hamilton was basically unable to make the corner. I feel he should have left the room for Ricciardo instead of cutting the corner and then blocking like that.

it was only slightly less so than Rosberg’s move in Spain

I thought that was going to be the crash of the race.

Haha, I don’t want to start that shit storm again aside from what I said in the post itself :).

But I do wonder if those who wanted Hamilton to have all the room in Spain will defend this move.

It was a slightly douchey move, but ultimately that’s racing. If the stewards (rightly) decided that Spain was a racing incident, this was un-penalizeable too.

Yup, very true. I also don’t want to suggest the race outcome would have been different if room was left here.

I just got the impression from a bunch of commenters that Hamilton can do no wrong in the articles about Spain. But looks like he will pull the same kind of dumb/douchy moves as those he complains about. I'm not a big fan of that kind of attitude :P.

Didn’t Hamilton basically do this exact same thing at the chicane at Spa a few years ago, and was ordered to give up the position?

I don't know, I've only been a fan since 2014. Maybe so, but different stewards since then, so.... Idk.

He’s a dick. He thinks everyone should leave room for him and fuck everybody else.

He did say in the press conference that he stepped on some water and was sort of slipping a bit side ways, also said that it didn’t matter much in the end and I seem to agree.

It all boils down to Red Bull mucking up the stop, otherwise specially in Monaco it would be pretty much impossible for a RedBull to overtake a Mercedes with their acceleration out of corners.
