Martin Brundle Contemplates the Essence of Racing: Was Lewis Hamilton’s Penalty Too ‘Harsh’?

Brundle pointed out that Hamilton had claimed the corner and was on the inside, while acknowledging that the car understeered a bit. He described the situation as a racing incident rather than a deliberate and reckless move by Hamilton.

While Brundle understood that the effect on Perez’s race may have influenced the stewards’ decision, he maintained that the collision was a result of racing, and Hamilton couldn’t have simply disappeared from the situation once he had committed to the corner.
