From my point of view... i agree with you about the button incident today, button really do come over rather too far. the webber incident was a racing incident, both drivers want the place, they are going to happen. The schumacher move, i honestly thought that hamilton just got a little bit off line, it was wet, he couldn't brake well enough, went straight on.
But i do think hamilton is at fault for the monaco moves still, schumacher gets away with it because hamilton saw him coming, but it was still a very risky move, di resta and hamilton got punish. The maldonaldo one, no hamilton was in the wrong he was way to far back, maldonado has to turn at some point, we don't want to see him just give the position away to hamilton.
We do want aggressive drivers, and we do want overtaking, but defensive driving has got to a point where if you put your car in the right place, making a move becomes silly, and hamilton being hamilton still wants to take the position. We want overtaking, but we don't want the driver in front to concede, thats how it will be.
Just my 2 pence on the matter
