Fun one to watch , even though I had a bunch of family over eating turkey in the midst of it .

That move by Lance was called "too late" , but it , I think , was more a situation of both drivers deciding at the same time , to make the same move .
Stroll moved left in anticipation that Fred would go that way , but he misjudged the closing speed of the Alpine .
I think Fernando also , to some extent , misjudged that speed as well and left his move a little late .

In the interviews afterward , Lance was a little defensive and noted that he was the one who was hit .
He did say that his move was a little late .

Nando said that watching in slow motion makes it look worse than it was , because they both moved so close to the same time .


I know they are team-mates next year , so some may say that the answers in the interviews might have been a little softer than normal , but I got the feeling that both drivers thought it was closer to a fifty-fifty than a ninety-ten on the blame scale .

I tend to agree .
