Does not seem fair I know but it tends to be swings and roundabouts with these incidents. It will be interesting to see how both drivers tackle the next race. I think this incident was almost inevitable at some point given both guys driving styles

I hear you and the sprint definetly gave a hint into the future, still, it shows Lewis was desperate enough for the lead to the point of losing sight of position. I don't blame him at all as it was a fair gamble, but the result was overbalanced in Lewis's favour. Lewis was rewarded by knocking the lead car out of the race and I hope he chokes on the victory.
