If the defending driver is allowed to weave, change direction under braking and push you off the track as long as he's on the inside, overtaking becomes nearly impossible except with drs on the straight.
That's what we are already seeing right now, hamilton backing off for 40 laps because he can't overtake on the straight, and can't overtake somewhere else without risking being pushed off.
All thanks to the fia who didn't have the balls to punish the dutch kid for his dangerous karting moves.
