I just wanted to address this point about me supposedly telling people they're not entitled to their opinions.
That's so much bullshit.
But you being entitled to an opinion doesn't mean that I'm not entitled to tell you I think you're wrong. That's MY opinion.
Example.
You said earlier in this thread:
'He [Verstappen] misjudged the braking (even though he'd been on the radio just before complaining about rear brakes) and lost control. Hamilton took his normal racing line and was taken by surprise.
The first sentence is basically correct.
The second... ...it is utter nonsense.
Hamilton was nowhere NEAR his normal racing line; not even close.
And the reason he wasn't was because he KNEW Verstappen was likely to try something and he was trying to dissuade him from doing so.
So the idea that he as "taken by surprise".
More bullshit.
I'm sorry if that hurts your feelings... ...but no, I'm not sorry.
