I can say that mirrors on open wheel cars aren't particularly useful, especially when traveling in a bend at that speed. Max likely had a pretty good sense of where HAM was.

If it was one of our races, it would have been ruled HAM's fault and he would have been DQ'd and likely suspended for a race. Our rules state that it's the overtaking driver's responsibility to complete a pass safely, and contact to the rear wheel/quarter panel area that causes damage and/or deviation from the line is a textbook 'punt' and would result in the aforementioned penalties. Obviously...F1 has different rules
Your comments that "Max likely had a pretty good sense of where HAM was" is unfounded and foolish....VER pinched off the apex and closed the door on HAM who was NEXT TO VER....so perhaps VER should return to Driving 101 and use his mirrors
