The similarity of these last two Red/Silver prangs is that the passing driver ran across the nose of the one being passed , taking the air off his front wing , causing a lock-up and subsequent collision .
You can't stop them going down the inside for a pass and you wouldn't want to do so at all .
You also can't stop them from going around the outside , either .
But , you can take into consideration , when judging the results of incidents such as these last two , or three , if you include RoGro and Carlos , that the guy inside is sometimes as much the victim if he loses , suddenly , the downforce on his front wing .
If you don't , then the guy inside , if he's behind at all , will have to back out of it much earlier to avoid the lock-up .
That could leave us with much less chance of them being side-by-side in the corners .
I don't want that .
