But he backed out of it , very wisely , with Seb careening across the track , as the gap was closing .
Simple physics tells us that it was only then that Seb moved across that white line , as they didn't touch .
Now , if I could , I'd like to touch on the drivers' reactions .
First , we all saw how pissed Seb was . That would be a normal thing , even if he was completely at fault , as drivers in general , and Seb in particular are often petulant turds in these situations .
However , Hamilton wasn't ranting at all about almost being put in the wall , and that's not normal at all .
His moving Seb onto the top step more than suggests he doesn't agree with the German being sanctioned .
His reaction plays to the thought that Seb was still recovering , and he would have had the best seat in the house to see the lurid slide Seb had as he came off the curbing , and thus , dabbed the brakes .
I think we pretty close in our opinions here , as I'd totally agree with you , had the incident occurred on a very slightly wider piece of track .
Note also , that you are agreeing with the stewards here . Doesn't that make you just a little bit nervous ? hee hee .
