This year he has crashed out of the last two races by being too impatient. Weber was partially at fault for today's crash, but Hamilton should have given him more room with so much at stake in the championship battle.

Neil, you gotta make up your mind!
If Lewis was at fault in Monza, then he cannot be at fault when the roles were reversed in Singapore. At Monza, Lewis stuck his nose in trying intimidate his way past...and paid a dear price for it. Today, Lewis was on the outside, had cleared Weber until Weber late-braked the corner and made the exact same mistake as Hamilton at Monza...he was just more lucky! Yes, Hamilton could have given more room, but it was his line and he shouldnt have had to. The responsibility was on Weber to back off to avoid contact. Even if Lewis had given more room, I suspect that Weber was going fast enough that the front end would have washed out til he found a back-stop.
