This incident proves 2 things:
- When Max is the only one with something to lose, he foolishly throws away the race. He has this attitude that he's got the right to torpedo other drivers, but all must yield to him. F that.
- He clearly doesn't have the temperament for F1. Shit happens, you don't go and attack another driver. It's not NASCAR.

Ocon was being ballsey. Max was just plain dumb and cost himself the race. Don't even think Ocon should have received the penalty.

Lewis proves yet again why he is the best. 50 wins out of the last 99 races! Is this man serious right now?!

I could not believe my ears when they said that after the race. Even though he had the best car through most of that, to actually achieve that is mind boggling.

Yup, karma finally caught up to Jos. Unfortunately for Max it cost him the race.

What Hamilton might have been thinking and would have done is keep clear of Ocan and then complain loudly on the radio about Ocan inhibiting his path expecting that the stewards would take action if Ocan stayed in his way.
Ocan clearly is an idiot - he's a lap down and not in contention for anything. What did he think he would accomplish by passing the race leader? Did he think he was going to lead him the rest of the race? He would be blue flagged the next time Max came up behind him. You can say Max didn't think as clearly as Hamilton might of, but Ocan was an imbecile and had no plan at all.

*Ocon was clearly much faster than him at that point in the race and would have just been riding Max's ass for the foreseeable future. If Max had been smart Ocon would have disappeared into the distance ahead of him and not been bothering him anymore.
