It was smart , as giving lots of room made the move from Lewis all the more predictable , even if it was predictable to begin with .
There was a time when Michael had the reputation to force an issue like this , and "bully" through , knowing there was every chance he would go for a gap that sometimes didn't exist yet , but he , in that car , is not seen as a threat any more .
But , Pastor gave him a clue right away that he was in defensive mode .
He entered tight , but not tight enough to intimidate Lewis .
I expect , both being unrepentent about it , that we will see more argy-bargy between them .
Pastor will make his intentions even clearer , and Lewis will try harder .
I don't see either as really reckless .
Pastor made a bad assumption , thinking he had intimidated Lewis .
And , vice versa , to a degree .
It is , though , the responsibility of the guy behind to make the pass safely .
You've gotta let the other guy know you're there .
If you aren't sure he can see you , you shouldn't stick your nose in .
