The problem with your argument is the 1 car width you must leave is to the track limit which is the white line and NOT the wall.carisi2k wrote: ↑20 Jun 2019, 11:29The problem with your argument is that all the cars use the space all the way out to the wall on the exit of that turn and so you can argue that he did leave 1 car space of width. I would also argue that Sebastian wasn't as in control of his car as people think he was. I would also argue if they are going to give that penalty to Sebastian at Canada that Lewis should also have been given a similar penalty at Monaco when max attempted his pass. You could easily argue that lewis did not rejoin the track safely at the chicane. Lewis was being naughty in putting his car where he did as well. He could have made the pass if he slowed and took the inside line but instead relied on a stewards decision to get him the victory.
And it doesn't matter at all whether Seb was in control or not. You must always leave a cars width if a car is alongside. The only time people get away with something like this is on the opening lap.
As for the Max Ham incident in Monaco, Max had plenty of room to his left when they made contact so Lewis left enough space. Max was also the one out of control with both front wheels locked up at the point of contact. As foe rejoining the track. Lewis did it safely as he had no car alongside him at all when rejoining and continuing.
