Yep, that about sums it up.
In post race interviews Hammy kept touting his extensive driving experience (28 years) in dealing with what could be described as aggressive race drivers.
My question to him then is: if you have all that experience, then how is it that you were 'confused' about what Max was doing? You've passed hundreds if not thousands of drivers over the course of your career. When you come upon another driver that is slowed (for whatever reason) you've always just wizzed by and made the pass. Why not this time? Why was this so vexing?
I'm pretty certain he was on the radio claiming the pass was off track. Isn't it reasonable to expect the other driver to give back the position? Pretty sure that he was demanding such to his team.
When other teams swap their running order on track it is 'interesting tactics' when Bottas does it, it is being a good teammate. Ditto for 'Rules are rules' except when he makes the infraction then it is usually unfair.
Oddly enough this afternoon after making a right on red turn, another driver suddenly slowed in front of me. Even more odd was that I just went around them; gave them a look and kept on going.
