This will be interesting debate, I believe it was racing incident. It was a mix of both drivers being aggressive in each of their attacking and defending strategies. I do understand that Hamilton should've known better and been able to predict that he was going to understeer going into that corner with all of the weight, cold tires and rubbish on the inside of that corner. Verstappen should've also seen that coming as he made an aggressive defensive strategy to stay closer to the inside to in a sense disrupt Hamilton's line and keep himself ahead. If Verstappen would have given more room then Hamilton would've passed him easily but he didn't want that to happen so he decided to be aggressive on the outside. In my opinion it was racing incident from aggressive driving from both drivers as each wanted the lead in that first lap as it would've controlled the outcome for the rest of the race.
At the end of the day, we all should agree that Hamilton should not have received all the negative criticism and comments that he received. Whether one believes Hamilton is at fault that shouldn't be enough for him to have received racist abuse online. He already received enough racism growing up he shouldn't have to endure more of this.
