   I believe that Anthony Davidson summed it up best (only because he   
   agreed with my judgment).   
      
   Clearly, Max Verstappen was at fault.  FIA regulations state that on an   
   overtake, if the front wheel of the overtaking car is even to the mirror   
   of the leading car, he has a right to the corner.   
      
   If the overtaking car is not even to the mirror, he has to yield to the   
   leading driver.  Max's front wheels were not that far advanced, he did   
   not have the right to the corner.  Lewis Hamilton "chose" to not contest   
   the corner.  He was in 12th place and nothing would change that.  Why   
   chance damaging or wrecking your car on a pointless corner.   
      
   It showed maturity on Lewis part.  He weighed the potential gains, he   
   weighed the potential consequences and they did'nt balance out.
