    Braking as late as that, he was never going to make it stick.

    This overhead does show Hamilton made a very early turn-in:

    <https://x.com/hammertimev/status/1815070122312147356>

    The stewards, while noting that Hamilton "could have done more to avoid
    the collision," had this to say about that turn-in:

    "The driver of Car 44 stated that he was simply following his
    normal racing line (which was confirmed by examination of
    video and telemetry evidence of previous laps)."

    But the Verstappen was divebombing. Plain and simple.

    Agreed. I was surprised Max did not draw a penalty.

    Tally one more for Team Penalty.

    One more here too.

    What's ironic is that if Hamilton had really understood how late
    Verstappen started his braking, he could have just stayed out of the
    way and he'd have stayed ahead of Verstappen anyway.

    It does not appear to me that Hamilton could have stayed out of the
    way without going off himself.

    Again, ditto.

    Aye.

    It is clear that, brilliant as he is, there are still areas where Max needs >> to mature.

    Not sure if 'mature' is relevant. I think it is more just the nature of
    his personality.

    Yes, but surely “maturity” implies the ability to overcome negative personality traits?
