No blame assigned to Vettel; Leclerc has held his hands up and admitted the accident was all his fault.
Remember, it's easier to criticise than create!
As for Schumacher - Hamilton is almost level with his record and has done it in a far tougher era - he's beaten Alonso, Rosberg and Button as teammates and beaten Vettel and Max to titles as well, and he could easily go another 3-5 years at the top. Schumacher was almighty, but he had compliant, contracted #2-status teammates and was usually fighting 1 guy in a less reliable car for titles.
Lewis is reported to be seeking a 3 year deal at $50 million per year, which Merc are understandably not keen on paying. The problem for both parties is that there’s not a great many alternatives; the only top flight driver remaining unsigned is the underperforming Vettel, and none of the other top teams have a free berth for Hamilton. They’re literally stuck with each other.
I’d love to see them take a punt on George Russell though.

I agree but Ferrari could make a move. At the moment Hamilton can only talk to Mercedes - there are no other seats free.
I think Nando Norris could drive a Mercedes as could George Russell so there are alternatives. Also are Honda going to remain after 2021? Vestappen has a clause in his contract so he could be on the market next year. Mercedes won't offer Hamilton a long term contract - I bet Ham and Bottas will get two years at most.

I don’t think Hamster will go to Ferrari at this stage of the game. Yes, I get the kudos and cachet thing, but he wants to win, and if he wants to cruise around in a Ferrari he can do that back at home in Monaco. The situation is far from ideal from Merc’s or Ham’s point of view, but my money’s on him staying put, probably with a reduced salary, as being the lesser of the evils.
You're probably right. If Hamilton signs a new deal would Merc look at Russell to partner him in 2021 or 2022? Bottas could return to Williams. Hamilton won't be around forever and someone like Russell could learn a lot - commentators see him as a future champ if he gets the chance to drive for a top team.
Remember, it's easier to criticise than create!
Yup, I certainly hope that's the case. To me, at least, it makes sense and in the meantime Merc would be keeping a good eye on him, as I'm sure all the teams will.

And similar drivers from what I saw on Sunday.
Stroll should have been forced to give that place back to Ricciardo after that dive bomb sent them both off.
Assuming that all teams are still there next year and Perez’s sponsors are content to keep backing him, I’m sure he won’t have difficulty finding a berth elsewhere.
