    It's not a "rule", just a recognition of reality. The job is done when the job is done. The pass is completed when the guy you're passing can no longer prevent you passing. There are too many rules about passing. It's to the credit of the stewards that they decided not to get involved in this incident.

    Clearly it was not just in his head, since after the contact it was Nico who ended up off track and losing places, not Lewis.

    Why was there contact ?
    It was because Lewis was sliding , thus , not in complete control .

    It's a lucky thing he did decide to duck out or they both likely would have been done .


    A question comes to mind .
    If Lewis had not expressed that he experienced oversteer , would the incident be seen differently by all you guys ?

    Not by me. Hard racing by two guys who both want the championship.

    The worst thing about the whole first corner incident was the way Nico dangerously rejoined the track, I fully expected there to be a penalty - but non was forthcoming.

    Under steer or not it was a hard but fair move.

    I remember in Spain it was said here that Lewis was driving into a disappearing wedge. Well this was a much slower version of that with Nico. He had time to react and did so. He lost out fair and square.

    It did look a bit sketchy , but as the drivers who he drove in with all passed him because they had gotten the normal launch from farther back , none were likely to protest , and didn't .
    He got passed on both sides , so at least he wasn't weaving around .

    You're right , though , that launching right across didn't look too cool .
    I was surprised that he didn't stay to the right a little longer on rejoining , myself .

    I might have to have another look at that one .

    Lewis will tell the media he will retire when he wins one more championship?

    Ferrari have allegedly solved their engine reliability issue and will be able to run the full power mode, +30bhp compared to the 2022 unit... but Valteri Bottas won't be driving it.
