He's fighting for the world championship and was alongside Lewis. Hamilton had half the track on his right and could've given him room to avoid such an issue.

Are you saying it was impossible for Hamilton to move to the right to avoid a crash?

Why would he move to the right and let Max pass him? He was first into the corner and the obvious thing to do for Max, was to concede......but he wasn't going to do that because he was driving through the red mist.
Its no good whining about it Santi, the Stewards agree and thats the end of it!

I'm not whining I'm disagreeing with you and for that matter, the stewards who seem very fond of Mercedes
First time you said he couldn't move and you make Max out to be some crazy immature driver yet the guy with over 10 years experience would rather have his car beached in the dirt than move over and probably get the place given back if he actually lost it.
I simply disagree that Lewis couldn't have done something to prevent it, regardless of you thinking it's all Max's fault for making the move. As I said originally, it probably was more Max's fault than not (hence 60/40) but I don't think it's a clear cut as you are making out. Certainly all the pundits on the day, bar one, felt it was just a racing incident and they weren't expecting the stewards to come down on either side.
It was stupid all round but I think Max would've benefitted had the race carried on, so it really didn't work out for him and now he has a penalty on top. Hopefully it doesn't affect the championship come the end of the season.

No he couldn't, at no point in the race did two cars go side by side into that corner, because it narrows to on car width.
