What Ioan was suggesting, and I quote him directly here, "it's very easy to control an F1 car on 3 wheels." Now, when one makes statements like those, you either have F1 driving experience or it's just plain and simple bull$hit. Yeah, it's been done before, but mostly on wider tracks with a lot of run-off area, where they have a lot of room to maneuver and the driver behind can go off track to avoid the vehicle, not an option in Monaco, where the only option is to brake hard.
Also, I think it's pretty darn obvious that you can't have the same kind of precision or control driving on 3 wheels compared to 4. And really how much time did Lewis have to make a decision on whether to brake and avoid or zoom past a car only a few meters ahead, which has a wheel missing? The only logical thing at that point was to not to run into the back of the Force India, and that's exactly what he did.
