    very obviously opened the steering wheel, but the actual data that
    would tell you that is the sort of thing you'd only discover in an
    INVESTIGATION!

    A 'little' more than just opened tyhe steering wheel. It was a sudden
    and significant deviation.
    That is precisely what you get when you open the steering wheel while
    cornering.

    Yes. They couldn't obfuscate that one.

    I was just impressed Hamilton managed to react to avoid contact.

    Maybe, maybe Verstappen opened the steering because he'd braked too
    late on the dusty side and needed to straighten up to avoid losing front traction and sliding into Hamilton. Maybe.

    Nope; and on two counts.

    1. Cars regularly ran that line when attempting to overtake. It's pretty
    much the standard way of attempting to get by, so the line wouldn't have
    been dusty.

    2. When you open the steering to regain traction, you do so only slightly.


    Whatever, in the end it is a moot point as Hamilton got past.

    Enforcing the rules of the game is never wrong.


    It did feel like an odd decision not to investigate though, given how other things do get investigated.

    Yup.

    If he'd gone in that hard, so that he had to run several car widths OFF track himself then it was
    nothing short of dangerous driving.

    Whatever, in the end it is a moot point as Hamilton got past.

    Even though I think Max should have been penalised I'm pleased he wasn't and Hamilton beat him with
    a show of class that he should learn from.

    It did feel like an odd decision not to investigate though, given how other things do get investigated.

    Yep, like Hamilton being penalised for doing far less (even though on that occasion Verstappen
    crashed).

    Horner's radio to Masi sounded very like a team boss defending the indefensible because he had to with very little real evidence to support
    his case.

    I really don't like the ethics (or lack thereof) of RBR. I think that's part of the reason I didn't
    warm to Vettel while he was there and why I'm not keen on Verstappen, despite his obvious talent. I
    think that if you coddle young drivers and reward them for being brats then they've got no
    incentive to NOT be brats.

    I don't disagree with what you've written. Just thinking about how a driver might argue. Max could argue the grip he "felt", even if you and I could agree that that side of the track should be less dusty than he might sugggest.

    And he could argue that the degree of opening of the steering was what he
    felt was necessary "based on judgement", or as a precuationary move.

    Not saying he'd be right (I tend towards your view completely), just suggesting that there might be some grey area in the middle that he could use to defend.

    All irrelevant of course because Masi decided not to investigate. I wonder if the lack of contact was the deciding factor there.

    Well, I'll be damned.

    I've watched that a bunch of times now, and...

    ...Verstappen doesn't open his hands to make the car go straighter for
    that moment you can see in the overhead shot.

    What it looks like to me is that he chooses what he thinks will be a trajectory that will leave Hamilton with no room at the exit of the
    corner (which would still have been an infraction, because Hamilton had clearly earned himself the rights to room on the track)...

    ...but then his car picks up some understeer--probably caused by the turbulence from Hamilton's car, and his chosen line becomes one that
    puts him right off track as well.

    So to me, this is just like Hamilton's attempted pass on Verstappen at
    Copse:

    Verstappen(Hamilton) picked a line and a speed that he(he) felt he(he)
    needed to take to use the inside line to stay ahead(pass) Hamilton(Verstappen), but the car understeered wider than that line. But he(he) could have backed off a little to have left Hamilton(Verstappen)
    to room to which Hamilton(Verstappen) was entitled to and perhaps the manoeuvre wouldn't have succeed, but that's racing.

    So same penalty for both in my book. Maybe a little more serious for
    Hamilton because of the much higher speed at Copse than at turn 4 at Interlagos ("Descida do Lago").

    It's moot now. The now-available in-car video shows it was choice of
    line, speed and understeer that he didn't expect to get that made what
    he'd clearly chosen as a line to squeeze Hamilton off the limit (while
    leaving himself on track, and still illegal based on the requirement to
    leave an overtaking driver room on the track if he establishes himself
    there early enough) into a line that carried himself of the track as well.

    Verstappen(Hamilton) picked a line and a speed that he(he) felt he(he) needed to take to use the inside line to stay ahead(pass) Hamilton(Verstappen), but the car understeered wider than that line. But he(he) could have backed off a little to have left Hamilton(Verstappen)
    to room to which Hamilton(Verstappen) was entitled to and perhaps the manoeuvre wouldn't have succeed, but that's racing.

    So same penalty for both in my book. Maybe a little more serious for Hamilton because of the much higher speed at Copse than at turn 4 at Interlagos ("Descida do Lago").

    I disagree in that Copse was an error of judgement, and this was deliberate.

    My amateur reading of Max's steering inputs is that he never aimed at
    the apex at all, but neither did he open the wheel to drift out - he
    was just never going to make the corner having braked as late as he
    did (catching hamilton under braking).

    Am I wrong? And does that make Max's actions right?

    He simply didn't really try very hard to turn in, did he.

    The full story only really becomes obvious from side by side laps video/telemetry but it looks to me that he chose not to steer in. It is
    not obvious that he couldn't.

    You're quite wrong.

    You can see the moment when despite not opening the steering, the car
    starts to understeer.

    Well, I'll be damned.

    I've watched that a bunch of times now, and...

    ...Verstappen doesn't open his hands to make the car go straighter for
    that moment you can see in the overhead shot.

    What it looks like to me is that he chooses what he thinks will be a
    trajectory that will leave Hamilton with no room at the exit of the
    corner (which would still have been an infraction, because Hamilton
    had clearly earned himself the rights to room on the track)...

    ...but then his car picks up some understeer--probably caused by the
    turbulence from Hamilton's car, and his chosen line becomes one that
    puts him right off track as well.

    So to me, this is just like Hamilton's attempted pass on Verstappen at
    Copse:

    Verstappen(Hamilton) picked a line and a speed that he(he) felt he(he)
    needed to take to use the inside line to stay ahead(pass)
    Hamilton(Verstappen), but the car understeered wider than that line.
    But he(he) could have backed off a little to have left
    Hamilton(Verstappen) to room to which Hamilton(Verstappen) was
    entitled to and perhaps the manoeuvre wouldn't have succeed, but
    that's racing.

    So same penalty for both in my book. Maybe a little more serious for
    Hamilton because of the much higher speed at Copse than at turn 4 at
    Interlagos ("Descida do Lago").

    I disagree in that Copse was an error of judgement, and this was
    deliberate.

    Copse was a deliberate attempt to crowd Verstappen past the edge of the
    track at the exit (or have him drop back)...

    ...and this was precisely the same.

    He simply didn't really try very hard to turn in, did he.

    He tried what he thought would be just enough to leave him room on the
    track and Hamilton having to either fall back or go off.

    What advantage would there be for Verstappen to choosing a trajectory
    which takes them both off, when the opportunity was clearly there for
    him to be able to stay on the track with only Hamilton going off (and
    thus help get back some gap)?


    The full story only really becomes obvious from side by side laps video/telemetry but it looks to me that he chose not to steer in. It is
    not obvious that he couldn't.

    It's obvious he was steering in sufficiently to let him stay on track
    until he picked up a large dose of understeer.

    Watch the video from 7s to 8s at half speed. At about 7.5s, Verstappen's
    nose is still pointed into the (admittedly early, but that's what an
    inside manoeuvre does) apex, and then without him release any steering
    wheel angle at all the car just washes wide, and he actually starts
    adding steering wheel angle. Long before he gets to the track edge, he's
    got nearly 90 degrees of steering wheel.

    Keeping Hamilton behind him.

    And before you say it, leaving Hamilton with no space at the exit of
    turn 4 but keeping himself on the track (which I still agree would have
    been illegal) would have done that "keeping behind" part as well, while creating more gap if he doesn't go off the track himself.

    He simply didn't really try very hard to turn in, did he.

    He tried what he thought would be just enough to leave him room on
    the track and Hamilton having to either fall back or go off.

    What advantage would there be for Verstappen to choosing a trajectory

    Keeping Hamilton behind him.

    Yes, illegally.

    I agree. I think it was on the edge, but Hamilton was too close
    certainly at the last of the weaving for it to be allowed under merely
    trying to break the tow of the car behind.

    But in the turn 4 incident, Verstappen gains more from running Hamilton
    wide (onto dirty track) while staying on track himself than he does from running them both off the track. And he's risking the same penalty
    either way.

    The full story only really becomes obvious from side by side laps video/telemetry but it looks to me that he chose not to steer in.
    It is not obvious that he couldn't.

    It's obvious he was steering in sufficiently to let him stay on track
    until he picked up a large dose of understeer.

    Watch the video from 7s to 8s at half speed. At about 7.5s,
    Verstappen's nose is still pointed into the (admittedly early, but
    that's what an inside manoeuvre does) apex, and then without him
    release any steering wheel angle at all the car just washes wide, and
    he actually starts adding steering wheel angle. Long before he gets
    to the track edge, he's got nearly 90 degrees of steering wheel.

    I refer you to my previous response.

    I don't see that your guesses add anything.

    the track.

    I agree. And I've stated that I think it would have been illegal even if
    he himself had stayed on the racing surface.

    The fact that when he did turn in it was so late that he had
    to run miles off track is almost incidental to the intent, or lack of.

    When he chose his turn in, he chose it believing he would stay on the
    track. There is no advantage to him going off the track himself and in
    fact, there's a disadvantage in that staying on the track while forcing Hamilton off

    Hamilton off and him on means he can start accelerating sooner AND he
    would keep his tires clean while Hamilton would suffer for the next
    little bit of the lap while his tires had dust and dirt on them.

    I've seen a video that compares the incident to another lap on pretty
    close to the same line.

    This video shows Hamilton and Verstappen with telemetry:

    <https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=EvVqHI3m9JM>

    And this one shows Verstappen on two different laps, but both on the
    tighter inside line.

    <https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=j3eLfA9RTko>


    The second video doesn't have the synch between the two laps done very
    well, but you can basically see that at the same point in the corner, Verstappen was at pretty close to the same speed (about

    Only in the cleaner air of lap 58, he doesn't get masses of understeer
    and starts to accelerate normally. On lap 48, the speeds start very
    similarly, but when he gets the understeer, he continues to slow to try
    to keep the car on the track.

    I was just impressed Hamilton managed to react to
    avoid contact.

    Maybe, maybe Verstappen opened the steering because
    he'd braked too late on the dusty side and needed to straighten up to avoid losing front traction and
    sliding into Hamilton. Maybe.
    I think it was a deliberate, maybe instinctive (to be
    kind), twitch at HAM. Unlike similar-but-different
    incidents between them in the past when contact has
    been made during genuine attempts at making the corner
    and passing.

    Whatever, in the end it is a moot point as Hamilton
    got past.

    It did feel like an odd decision not to investigate
    though, given how other things do get investigated.

    Horner's radio to Masi sounded very like a team boss defending the indefensible because he had to with very
    little real evidence to support his case.
    And apparently didn't need to have made it ...

    The video is online now at

    My amateur reading of Max's steering inputs is that he
    never aimed at the apex at all, but neither did he open
    the wheel to drift out - he was just never going to make
    the corner having braked as late as he did (catching
    hamilton under braking).

    Am I wrong? And does that make Max's actions right?

    He simply didn't really try very hard to turn in, did he.

    He tried what he thought would be just enough to leave him
    room on the track and Hamilton having to either fall back or
    go off.

    What advantage would there be for Verstappen to choosing a
    trajectory which takes them both off, when the opportunity was clearly there for him to be able to stay on the track with
    only Hamilton going off (and thus help get back some gap)?


    The full story only really becomes obvious from side by side
    laps video/telemetry but it looks to me that he chose not to
    steer in. It is not obvious that he couldn't.

    It's obvious he was steering in sufficiently to let him stay
    on track until he picked up a large dose of understeer.

    Watch the video from 7s to 8s at half speed. At about 7.5s, Verstappen's nose is still pointed into the (admittedly
    early, but that's what an inside manoeuvre does) apex, and
    then without him release any steering wheel angle at all the
    car just washes wide, and he actually starts adding steering
    wheel angle. Long before he gets to the track edge, he's got
    nearly 90 degrees of steering wheel.

    I refer you to my previous response.

    I don't see that your guesses add anything.


    They're not guesses.

    I have no reason to consider them any more than your previous
    premature and incorrect guesses.

    I do not see any purpose for your response. Max did not attempt to
    turn in sufficiently in time to make the corner without punting
    Lewis off the track.

    I agree. And I've stated that I think it would have been illegal even
    if he himself had stayed on the racing surface.

    The fact that when he did turn in it was so late that he had
    to run miles off track is almost incidental to the intent, or lack
    of.

    When he chose his turn in, he chose it believing he would stay on the
    track.

    Why do you feel the need to make such obvious guesses or repeat them?

    Do you not realise you put people off reading any further.

    You clearly have nothing to add to what we can see on the video but
    your guesses which appear rather uneducated.

    At about 22s in the video, when the black strip of tarmac appears just above Max's rear wing (demonstrating reasonable sync between the videos) Max
    appears to be about 20kph faster on the "controversial" lap 48 compared to
    lap 58 (209kph vs 188kph).
    Anyway, a moot point - the FIA have thrown out the request for review.

    I've seen a video that compares the incident to another lap on
    pretty close to the same line.


    You will have noted the steering angles then.

    I saw some telemetry but it was not clear enough for me to be able
    to distinguish throttle/brake position wrt to position.

    Then you should pay more attention.

    Just run each video at 0.25 speed and you can stop each right when
    Verstappen applies the brakes...

    ...in almost precisely the same spot at almost precisely the same
    speed.


    You will acknowledge that they are as important for determining
    cause of understeer.

    This video shows Hamilton and Verstappen with telemetry:

    <https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=EvVqHI3m9JM>

    And this one shows Verstappen on two different laps, but both on
    the tighter inside line.

    The second video doesn't have the synch between the two laps done

    You put such store in them that I assumed they would be the actual
    telemetry traces as available seen on F1TV which you were banging on
    about previously.

    But the fact is that Verstappen begins braking at almost precisely
    the same place from almost precisely the same speed.

    Nonsense.

    As you already claimed but while banging on about the braking yet again
    you totally ignore the throttle.

    Also you can not possibly make such a claim from the perspectives
    given. There is no precision. "Almost precisely" is an oxymoron...

    You only ever look at part of the picture which is why you never have
    the whole picture.

    I have no idea what point you are trying to make but you won't get

    My amateur reading of Max's steering inputs is that he
    never aimed at the apex at all, but neither did he
    open the wheel to drift out - he was just never going
    to make the corner having braked as late as he did
    (catching hamilton under braking).

    Am I wrong? And does that make Max's actions right?

    He simply didn't really try very hard to turn in, did
    he.

    He tried what he thought would be just enough to leave him
    room on the track and Hamilton having to either fall back
    or go off.

    What advantage would there be for Verstappen to choosing a trajectory which takes them both off, when the
    opportunity was clearly there for him to be able to stay
    on the track with only Hamilton going off (and thus help
    get back some gap)?


    The full story only really becomes obvious from side by
    side laps video/telemetry but it looks to me that he
    chose not to steer in. It is not obvious that he
    couldn't.

    It's obvious he was steering in sufficiently to let him
    stay on track until he picked up a large dose of
    understeer.

    Watch the video from 7s to 8s at half speed. At about
    7.5s, Verstappen's nose is still pointed into the
    (admittedly early, but that's what an inside manoeuvre
    does) apex, and then without him release any steering
    wheel angle at all the car just washes wide, and he
    actually starts adding steering wheel angle. Long before
    he gets to the track edge, he's got nearly 90 degrees of
    steering wheel.

    I refer you to my previous response.

    I don't see that your guesses add anything.


    They're not guesses.

    I have no reason to consider them any more than your previous
    premature and incorrect guesses.

    I do not see any purpose for your response. Max did not attempt
    to turn in sufficiently in time to make the corner without
    punting Lewis off the track.

    I agree. And I've stated that I think it would have been illegal
    even if he himself had stayed on the racing surface.

    The fact that when he did turn in it was so late that he had
    to run miles off track is almost incidental to the intent, or
    lack of.

    When he chose his turn in, he chose it believing he would stay on
    the track.

    Why do you feel the need to make such obvious guesses or repeat
    them?

    I'm rebutting the nonsense that Verstappen chose a line that was
    "never" going to stay on the track.


    That's a falsehood. You are not rebutting anyone.


    Do you not realise you put people off reading any further.

    You clearly have nothing to add to what we can see on the video but
    your guesses which appear rather uneducated.


    The FACT is that Verstappen chose to drive in such a way that he would
    never stay on track. He created the understeer.

    Look at the original overhead. There is a HUGE, obvious moment where the
    car suddenly goes much straighter than it had been the moment before,
    and now that we've seen the forward-facing in-car video, it is clear
    that it didn't do so because Verstappen opened the wheel.

    So you're seriously suggesting that Verstappen chose his line counting
    on that sudden moment of understeer happening?

    Really?

    how the poster of the YouTube video got them.


    But the fact is that Verstappen begins braking at almost precisely
    the same place from almost precisely the same speed.

    Nonsense.

    As you already claimed but while banging on about the braking yet again
    you totally ignore the throttle.

    Because in both cases, you can see that Verstappen is right off the
    throttle until the point where you'd expect him to get back on it.

    More importantly, Verstappen is all the way off the throttle at the
    point where his car suddenly understeers, so it wasn't throttle induced.


    Also you can not possibly make such a claim from the perspectives
    given. There is no precision. "Almost precisely" is an oxymoron...

    Almost precisely is a perfectly useful expression that indicates that
    while their is a difference, it is perishingly small.


    You only ever look at part of the picture which is why you never have
    the whole picture.

    I have no idea what point you are trying to make but you won't get
    anywhere while you keep claiming your poor guesses as facts when they
    clearly are not.

    The point is that from a cornering perspective, Verstappen's performance
    on each of the compared laps was very, very similar. He started his
    braking a fraction later and he was definitely trying very hard to force Hamilton to either go off, or fall in behind. And as I've stated before,
    just doing that given where Hamilton had gotten his car would still have
    been against the rule about allowing your competitor racing room.

    But if it weren't for picking up some understeer for a very brief
    fraction, Verstappen would have stayed on the track. That's what the comparison demonstrates. The only large difference between the two
    attempts was the understeer that V suddenly experiences as his car was
    heading to the apex.

    Watch either video and you can see precisely when it happens (it's JUST
    after the video hits 3 seconds, BTW) and it is not accompanied by any
    change in throttle, because he's right OFF the throttle at that point.

    In short, he tried a tactic (which I still think would have been illegal
    even if he'd successfully executed it), and the tactic failed when some turbulence (most likely explanation; we've seen cars "wash out" from turbulence over and over) from Hamilton's car caused him to understeer
    wider than the line he would have wanted (because he gains maximum
    advantage if he forces Hamilton off but stays on himself).

    I'm sorry if this is not obvious to you, but it's really not that hard
    to see. When we only had the original high angle shot, the understeer
    was so severe that everyone thought it must have been from opening his
    hands. Brundle said as much at the time. (His exact quote: "Ah, he
    opened the steering wheel there, didn't he?"). If you get F1TV, the
    replay is from 1:13:45 and the moment of understeer occurs just before 1:13:47. He was running parallel to the inside kerb and then suddenly
    the car runs on a wider radius.

    We know from the later-seen in-car video that at that point in the
    corner, there is no opening of his hands AT ALL.

    Yes, because he braked from a slightly later point, he is slightly
    deeper into the corner, but he has slowed the car to precisely the same
    speed he was at in the earlier lap at the same time from the moment the
    later lap started braking (that's where it appears the two laps were synchronized as V's rear wing is in precisely the same relationship to
    the shadows and trackside features), so it isn't extra speed being
    carried that made the car understeer.

    The one real difference is Hamilton's car being close beside his.

    Be sorry for being wrong. That is where I saw them.


    But the fact is that Verstappen begins braking at almost precisely
    the same place from almost precisely the same speed.

    Nonsense.

    As you already claimed but while banging on about the braking yet
    again you totally ignore the throttle.

    Because in both cases, you can see that Verstappen is right off the
    throttle until the point where you'd expect him to get back on it.

    Wrong.

    Do you not know what happens when you get back on the throttle while understeering?



    More importantly, Verstappen is all the way off the throttle at the
    point where his car suddenly understeers, so it wasn't throttle
    induced.


    <sigh> Such a tiny part of the picture.


    Also you can not possibly make such a claim from the perspectives
    given. There is no precision. "Almost precisely" is an oxymoron...

    Almost precisely is a perfectly useful expression that indicates that
    while their is a difference, it is perishingly small.


    Yet it isn't. Almost means "not exactly" and if something is not
    exactly precisely then it is not precise so it is pure ignorance to
    imply otherwise.

    How far does the 33 car travel in just one frame before braking?

    25 frames per second 306km per hour. Do the maths.

    I count 4 frames.

    So in your opinion "almost precisely" is actually greater than the
    width of the track.


    You only ever look at part of the picture which is why you never
    have the whole picture.

    I have no idea what point you are trying to make but you won't get
    anywhere while you keep claiming your poor guesses as facts when
    they clearly are not.


    [snip] absolute rubbish and yet more guesses.

    You cannot infer anything when you don't understand what you are
    looking at and have your eyes half shut.

    I was just impressed Hamilton managed to
    react to avoid contact.

    Maybe, maybe Verstappen opened the steering
    because he'd braked too late on the dusty side
    and needed to straighten up to avoid losing
    front traction and sliding into Hamilton.
    Maybe.
    I think it was a deliberate, maybe instinctive

    the past when contact has been made during
    genuine attempts at making the corner and

    My amateur reading of Max's steering inputs is
    that he never aimed at the apex at all, but
    neither did he open the wheel to drift out - he
    was just never going to make the corner having
    braked as late as he did (catching hamilton under braking).

    Am I wrong? And does that make Max's actions
    right?

    He simply didn't really try very hard to turn in,
    did he.

    He tried what he thought would be just enough to
    leave him room on the track and Hamilton having to
    either fall back or go off.

    What advantage would there be for Verstappen to
    choosing a trajectory which takes them both off, when
    the opportunity was clearly there for him to be able
    to stay on the track with only Hamilton going off
    (and thus help get back some gap)?


    The full story only really becomes obvious from
    side by side laps video/telemetry but it looks to
    me that he chose not to steer in. It is not
    obvious that he couldn't.

    It's obvious he was steering in sufficiently to let
    him stay on track until he picked up a large dose of understeer.

    Watch the video from 7s to 8s at half speed. At about
    7.5s, Verstappen's nose is still pointed into the
    (admittedly early, but that's what an inside manoeuvre
    does) apex, and then without him release any steering
    wheel angle at all the car just washes wide, and he
    actually starts adding steering wheel angle. Long
    before he gets to the track edge, he's got nearly 90
    degrees of steering wheel.

    I refer you to my previous response.

    I don't see that your guesses add anything.


    They're not guesses.

    I have no reason to consider them any more than your
    previous premature and incorrect guesses.

    I do not see any purpose for your response. Max did not
    attempt to turn in sufficiently in time to make the corner
    without punting Lewis off the track.

    I agree. And I've stated that I think it would have been
    illegal even if he himself had stayed on the racing surface.

    The fact that when he did turn in it was so late that he had
    to run miles off track is almost incidental to the intent,
    or lack of.

    When he chose his turn in, he chose it believing he would
    stay on the track.

    Why do you feel the need to make such obvious guesses or repeat
    them?

    I'm rebutting the nonsense that Verstappen chose a line that was
    "never" going to stay on the track.


    That's a falsehood. You are not rebutting anyone.


    Do you not realise you put people off reading any further.

    You clearly have nothing to add to what we can see on the video
    but your guesses which appear rather uneducated.


    The FACT is that Verstappen chose to drive in such a way that he
    would never stay on track. He created the understeer.

    No. He chose to drive in a way that he THOUGHT would allow him to
    stay on track, but force Hamilton off track or to fall in behind.


    Wrong. Why would he then get on the throttle while oversteering towards
    the edge of the track.


    Did you even look at the videos you were touting earlier?

    Take another look.

    Less nonsense more consideration.

    Look at the original overhead. There is a HUGE, obvious moment where
    the car suddenly goes much straighter than it had been the moment
    before, and now that we've seen the forward-facing in-car video, it
    is clear that it didn't do so because Verstappen opened the wheel.


    Oh yes, something else you previously claimed was a certainty.

    LOL.

    So you're seriously suggesting that Verstappen chose his line
    counting on that sudden moment of understeer happening?

    No. I am saying he did not have that much control over his line nor did
    he care. His mind was not on making the corner as much as blocking
    Hamilton from doing so.

    I've seen a video that compares the incident to another lap on
    pretty close to the same line.


    You will have noted the steering angles then.

    I saw some telemetry but it was not clear enough for me to be
    able to distinguish throttle/brake position wrt to position.

    Then you should pay more attention.

    Just run each video at 0.25 speed and you can stop each right when
    Verstappen applies the brakes...

    ...in almost precisely the same spot at almost precisely the same
    speed.


    You will acknowledge that they are as important for determining
    cause of understeer.

    This video shows Hamilton and Verstappen with telemetry:

    <https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=EvVqHI3m9JM>

    And this one shows Verstappen on two different laps, but both
    on the tighter inside line.

    <https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=j3eLfA9RTko>


    The second video doesn't have the synch between the two laps
    done very well, but you can basically see that at the same
    point in the corner, Verstappen was at pretty close to the

    I haven't followed the link but usually they are in synch WRT

    And you know this, because?

    You put such store in them that I assumed they would be the actual
    telemetry traces as available seen on F1TV which you were banging on
    about previously.

    I'm sorry, but those telemetry traces aren't shown on F1TV. I don't
    know how the poster of the YouTube video got them.


    Be sorry for being wrong. That is where I saw them.

    Link, please! I'm an F1TV subscriber so don't worry that I won't be able
    to see it.



    But the fact is that Verstappen begins braking at almost precisely
    the same place from almost precisely the same speed.

    Nonsense.

    As you already claimed but while banging on about the braking yet
    again you totally ignore the throttle.

    Because in both cases, you can see that Verstappen is right off the
    throttle until the point where you'd expect him to get back on it.

    Wrong.

    Do you not know what happens when you get back on the throttle while
    understeering?

    So was he understeering when he got back on the throttle or was he oversteering?

    Because you've now claimed both.




    More importantly, Verstappen is all the way off the throttle at the
    point where his car suddenly understeers, so it wasn't throttle
    induced.


    <sigh> Such a tiny part of the picture.

    You say that now... ...after implying that the understeer was caused by
    his use of the throttle.



    Also you can not possibly make such a claim from the perspectives
    given. There is no precision. "Almost precisely" is an oxymoron...

    Almost precisely is a perfectly useful expression that indicates that
    while their is a difference, it is perishingly small.


    Yet it isn't. Almost means "not exactly" and if something is not
    exactly precisely then it is not precise so it is pure ignorance to
    imply otherwise.

    Amazingly (to you), English is a language that has "idioms".

    Nope.

    Just the eyes and experience of someone who has been out there.

    The car didn't create constant understeer as if it was going too fast
    for the radius it was being asked to navigate.

    It was turning in fine, and the for a moment, the radius opened with no
    change of the controls that can reasonably account for it.

    But the fact is that Verstappen begins braking at almost precisely the same place from almost precisely the same
    speed.

    Nonsense.

    As you already claimed but while banging on about the
    braking yet again you totally ignore the throttle.

    Because in both cases, you can see that Verstappen is right
    off the throttle until the point where you'd expect him to
    get back on it.

    Wrong.

    Do you not know what happens when you get back on the throttle
    while understeering?

    So was he understeering when he got back on the throttle or was he oversteering?

    Because you've now claimed both.


    So you chose not to answer the question... instead you LIE.

    I GET REALLY FED UP WHEN YOU RESORT TO LYING.

    STOP IT...

    ... and answer the question... if you can.



    Do you want me to provide the quote?

    I can't even talk to you about this if you think that Verstappen was
    EVER OVERsteering in that incident.

    A simple mistype as you know from my other posts unless you are
    claiming to be a complete buffoon.

    Funny you didn't say it was a "simple mistype" back when I first

    No, actually. Hamilton's car was not "understeering".

    Quick yes or no question:

    Was Hamilton understeering in that incident?

    You're really waving that white flag now.

    The discussion is about Verstappen's line so obviously you want to concentrate on Hamilton now.

    Did you not just say:

    That depends on how much throttle he applies.

    Nope. And actual understanding that there is not one outcome if one

    LOL.

    You can see how much throttle he applies and the result.

    You can see he applies the throttle after it becomes apparent that he
    is going to leave the track whether he applies it or not.


    So you are claiming that applying the throttle as and when he did did
    not contribute to his line.

    I'm claiming that at the time and place he applied the throttle it was
    already completely apparent that he was going to go off the track.
    Apparent to him and everyone else who actually understands racing
    vehicle dynamics.

    I understand that leaves you out.

    He realized two things:

    1. He was going to go off the track.

    2. He could apply some throttle to make his off-track exit get him back
    on track with as much speed as possible.

    Would you like a close up picture of the telemetry too.

    You hopeless wanker.


    That video is an image of a graph made from telemetry data.

    Both cars had to slow to much less than optimal speed at

    No, actually. Hamilton's car was not "understeering".

    You remain confused about that basic racing dynamics terms

    Quick yes or no question:

    Was Hamilton understeering in that incident?

    You're really waving that white flag now.

    The discussion is about Verstappen's line so obviously you want
    to concentrate on Hamilton now.

    Did you not just say:

    "THEY were also no longer on the racing line and understeering way offline"?

    LIAR.

    STOP LYING.

    I'm not.


    BUT instead of avoiding the question again. If he was understeering what happens when he applies the throttle?

    That depends on how much throttle he applies.

    Avoidance.

    Nope. And actual understanding that there is not one outcome
    if one applies the throttle while understeering.


    LOL.

    You can see how much throttle he applies and the result.

    You can see he applies the throttle after it becomes apparent
    that he is going to leave the track whether he applies it or
    not.


    So you are claiming that applying the throttle as and when he
    did did not contribute to his line.

    I'm claiming that at the time and place he applied the throttle it
    was already completely apparent that he was going to go off the
    track. Apparent to him and everyone else who actually understands
    racing vehicle dynamics.

    Do you really.

    I understand that you have no fucking clue what you are talking
    about.

    Only a complete moron would claim that applying the throttle when he
    did had no consequences on his line.

    Since I didn't claim that, it's true...

    ...but irrelevant.

    QED.

    In claiming that it is irrelevant you have just confirmed my assertion.

    You totally ignored throttle application while making a number of
    claims, some clearly false, which are rendered complete nonsense when
    the available information is considered.

    Be honest, right from claiming Max opened his steering to claiming 12m
    (or more) is negligible to claiming the throttle position is irrelevant
    to a cars line, you fucked up... all while claiming you were rebutting
    a statement that was never made.

    comparison to lap 58.


    What a meaningless assertion.

    Both cars had to slow to much less than optimal speed at
    some point.... they were also no longer on the racing
    line and understeering way offline.

    No, actually. Hamilton's car was not "understeering".

    You remain confused about that basic racing dynamics terms
    mean.


    ..and yet more irrelevance.

    I see your white flag.

    Quick yes or no question:

    Was Hamilton understeering in that incident?

    You're really waving that white flag now.

    The discussion is about Verstappen's line so obviously you want
    to concentrate on Hamilton now.

    Did you not just say:

    "THEY were also no longer on the racing line and understeering way
    offline"?

    Or is it you just don't know what the word "they" means?


    Yet it is you who choose to abandon your original argument and
    divert.

    Really?

    What argument did I supposedly "abandon"?

    How Ironic. Claiming not to know what you were previously arguing.

    QED.


    So you couldn't articulate it.

    Gotcha.

    I'm not.


    BUT instead of avoiding the question again. If he was

    That depends on how much throttle he applies.

    Avoidance.

    Nope. And actual understanding that there is not one outcome
    if one applies the throttle while understeering.


    LOL.

    You can see how much throttle he applies and the result.

    You can see he applies the throttle after it becomes apparent
    that he is going to leave the track whether he applies it or
    not.


    So you are claiming that applying the throttle as and when he
    did did not contribute to his line.

    I'm claiming that at the time and place he applied the throttle it
    was already completely apparent that he was going to go off the
    track. Apparent to him and everyone else who actually understands
    racing vehicle dynamics.

    Do you really.

    I understand that you have no fucking clue what you are talking
    about.

    Only a complete moron would claim that applying the throttle when he
    did had no consequences on his line.

    Since I didn't claim that, it's true...

    ...but irrelevant.

    QED.

    In claiming that it is irrelevant you have just confirmed my assertion.

    I didn't claim that applying the throttle had no consequences.


    You totally ignored throttle application while making a number of
    claims, some clearly false, which are rendered complete nonsense when
    the available information is considered.

    I ignored throttle application as a possible cause of the understeer
    that eventually (eventually!) sent him off the track...

    ...because no throttle was being applied at that time.


    Be honest, right from claiming Max opened his steering to claiming 12m

    I THOUGHT Max must have opened his steering when we didn't yet have the
    in-car view forward; as did no lesser expert than Martin Brundle.

    (or more) is negligible to claiming the throttle position is irrelevant
    to a cars line,


    Nope. I never once claimed that. That's just a lie.



    you fucked up... all while claiming you were rebutting
    a statement that was never made.

    What the hell are you talking about?

    He was understeering when he applied the throttle... well before he
    went off track.

    WHAT A DUMB LIE.

    "Just run each video at 0.25 speed and you can stop each right when
    Verstappen applies the brakes...
    ...in almost precisely the same spot at almost precisely the same
    speed."

    That "same spot" was at least 12m apart.



    you fucked up... all while claiming you were rebutting
    a statement that was never made.

    What the hell are you talking about?

    That was "almost precisely" what asked you. You then claimed you were
    rebutting something that was never said.

    Perhaps you should simply STFU sometimes and think before posting inane
    SHIT.

    Just a tedious little liar.

    Without looking it up, give us YOUR definition of

    What makes you think you get to ask me basic questions when
    you have proven your incompetence, unwillingness and

    You know I know what understeer is.

    No. I do not know that at all.##

    Liar.

    Transparently evasive.


    Nope.

    You've claimed both that Verstappen oversteered and understeered
    (and now claim it was just a "mistype")...

    ...and you've claimed that Hamilton understeered off the track.

    So, no: I really don't think you truly understand what
    "understeer" means.

    Liar.


    I'm sorry, but those are the things you said. Even if "oversteer" was
    just a brainfart, Hamilton did not "understeer" off the track.

    So even though the discussion was only about Verstappen's line you now
    claim that Hamilton did not understeer during the incident even though
    he clearly went even wider that Max.

    I can see why you want to talk about anything but your original,
    pathetically naive, argument that you now pretend to have forgotten.

    Oh, look over there, a cute pussy cat.
