There's certainly more discussion on boards about yesterday's race than from most one-sided Hamilton cake-walks last season.
I do think that Max has matured as a driver and as a person, tremendously in the last two years. That neither exonerates him from the collision, nor says he is perfect. Professional or no, we all feel the same desire to win, and you don't get to the pinnacle of motorsports by lifting. The pro's are just supposed to be better able to control those emotions and feelings. At least in the moment. Sometimes.
Pretty sure that the stewards would dish out some severe penalties if we had a repeat of Senna/Prost today. This was poor judgement on both sides, trying to go for the same piece of tarmac, not a deliberate attempt to end someone's race.
