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 .
Thanks Eddie. I don't know how it is in other countries but it would be pretty disappointing if all we got in the UK was Youtube highlights if you haven't got the Rally TV app!
