He misread that space , no doubt , but couldn't you put that specific point at least a little down to bad grip and no brake by wire ?
The loss of brake by wire no doubt made it look worse , with no dramatic locking of tires on Nico's car , to be sure .
The "Merc rules" idea I've invented here is maybe a bit misleading .
It's not as dj suggests , about the overtaking driver being responsible .
It's about the justification you can use to push your team-mate off .
