If you were asked to list them. You wouldn't be able to.

Hmm, no, you're right, I can't immediately think of an occasion where two cars touched and one or the other ended up with a puncture or needed a new front wing. I guess it's never happened before.

Cherry picking an argument and avoiding the point duly noted.

Before they decide to change the configuration of the front wings , I believe they should deal with the issue of being able to see a front wheel beside their sidepod .

That's not a shot at Lewis , by the way .
He knew Nico was there halfway through the corner , having taken an inside line at the first corner in the chicane .

But , the last he saw of him was when he dropped back , lifting to take the corner on his own normal racing line .
Lewis was naturally upset , as he had interpreted this as Nico backing out , but Nico didn't .


Another way of looking at this is to see both drivers making an assumption , and only one of them was right .
It was Nico who assumed correctly .

Lewis assumed he would back out . He was wrong .

And Nico assumed that Lewis would assume exactly that , and was correct .



Neither should assume that the other isn't racing hard .

As to the wing configuration , though , had Hamilton had more vision in the situation , he might have been able to react to Nico still being there .
Perhaps , at least a second slant on the out side of the mirrors could give them more peripheral vision .
