Nico didn't keep steadily on the march. If he'd stayed on line, Lewis might have looked foolish and put them both off the road. On desperate ground, fight. Nico didn't fight.
What would have been the point to have a crash? Lewis would have kept his large gap on him, Vettel would have taken 2nd in the WDC from him and I don't even want to think about what unspeakable acts Lauda and Wolff would have done on him.
