not enough credit going to drivers who avoid incidents all together.

although i do like your suggestion that post race LH was more about playing some mind games with young Max.

sets the stage nicely for next year and beyond!
Oh it absolutely has a lot to do with Hamilton being a great driver and putting himself in position to take advantage of those breaks. It just seems like he gets more than his fair share of those fortunate breaks.

Meanwhile, in a return to that incident, in today's media show with the drivers, MV said, once again and despite all the video evidence to the contrary, that Ocon hit him at the esses.

And as to him pushing Ocon in the weighing room after the race, he is unrepentant, saying that: 'It could have been worse.'

He may be a half decent driver, but his attitude stinks.

He said that assaulting ocon is a “normal reaction”. Which is mental.

I mean, it kinda is in sports. There are fights or "assaults" in all sports in heated moments.

Also, considering his upbringing, or biggest influence, it has been taught to him as normal. Along with probably watching other greats... Like senna....

I was hoping corner marshalling at a club event, I reckon .5 day credit for each event, should get 4 events out of him, and some appreciation for the volunteers involved in assisting his participation in the sport.

Well aware of that Adam, only giving him credit for the actual running time of the races should reinforce the point about how much work gets done for the young delinquent.
