I'll leave it to everyone's tinted glasses to judge whether Petrov was close or not and whether he ever got parallel while attempting a pass.
While you are at it, have a quick go at Pitagoras to estimate the amount of extra meters Hamilton covered.
Thanks for the good video, =D> CLEARLY PETROV WAS NOT HINDERED!!!
What's more Lewis was sportsmanly enough to hold his line in the braking zone and allow Petrov to come up beside him. This is how you know he was obeying they rules.
Why didn't he weave in the last part then if he was so desperate to hold back Petrov?
Hammi nit pickers, are clutching at straws here. I am glad this video is available, everyone has a chance to be completely objective and watch frame by frame how Ham moved first and Petrov moved last, following him instead of going straight.
The moves weren't even sudden or confusing, they were very obvious to petrov, and added flare to the race.
It should be banned in terms of safety for other tracks, but my no means was it braking the rules. It's the same as Kubica not obeying the pit stop traffic distance rules last race. Not damning, but potentially unsafe.
