You could say that about any racing incident from the past 15-20 years - 'he could have tried harder to avoid contact'. To say they could try harder to avoid contact is accusing them of not trying hard enough to avoid contact in the first place, and to say that this apparent laissez-faire attitude is down to improved safety has no foundation whatsoever. In other words 'i'll sling the car up here and if I hit him, I hit him. At least I won't die'. For the life of me I cannot understand how that conclusion can be reached given that the comings-together were nothing more than relatively minor racing incidents. No more, no less. Singling out Hamilton v Massa in this way is quite frankly tabloid sensationalism at it's best, and to say it's deliberate is moronic of Tony Jardine and Bob McKenzie in the extreme. You'd think by some people's reactions/comments that those two were the only ones who have crashed into other drivers in the past 5 yearsI'm assuming you're referring to the interview where Hamilton said his rivalry with Alonso was the new Senna v Prost? hardly the same is it? And if I remember rightly you yourself posted claiming that Hamilton had no racing intelligence, so i'm not all that surprised that you agree with that particular part of the cliche, even though, again, it has no foundation.
