You're trying to force him to brake earlier than you , because he must leave room if you're even with him .

It has to be that way , as they really can't see right beside them , as the bolsters block the view , especially when they are "submarined" into the cockpit under braking .
This was clearly shown with both Vettel and Stroll in the race (not the submarine part , the view, in case you hadn't figured that out already).
That's why there are those flimsy glass things called mirrors on either side of the car. Besides, Hamilton was right beside him, he could see the nose of the car without straining. It was hard racing which Verstapenn has introduced into F1.
