Incident happens at 4:15.

- Rosberg can not do anything with the line "Lewis has left for him" when he is on the inside. Lewis has pretty much taken the best line for himself. But I don't think he is ahead enough to dictate the line.

- Rosberg starts steering at 4:15 right before they crash. Once he crashes, then the cars are interlocked and he goes straight

- Lewis did not have to go off-track to avoid the collision, but he would have ceded the corner. Something, which he is inclined on doing only against other drivers.

He was too far ahead the cede the corner, by a LONG way. And in fact, he left enough room for NR's car between himself and the apex anyway. You seem to be arguing to banning overtaking at corners.

More I look at it, the more it was a deliberate act by NR to punt LH off the track.

And hey, the stewards agreed, and gave NR two points on his licence for his actions.

I'm not going to argue with the experts, just agree with them.
