So , both should have given up earlier ?
I don't want that .
The point here for me is that the leading driver does have some responsibility in the incidents because if he had left more room , the inside guy would have been less likely to take him out .
Since , in all of these three cases it appeared that enough space was given to that guy inside , yet all three got tagged by that guy locking up , it looks to me that it's in the passing driver's best interest to not squeeze the guy behind too much , lest he cause this effect .
It has lead me to wonder if the aero kit on these cars has just become too sensitive to disruptions in the air flow .
Remember , these things can't follow each other closely in corners at all , so we shouldn't be surprised at this effect .
As such , I think it should be taken into account more seriously when judging these events .
Lowest point was probably when they had to put the top class drivers to run RX2e cars for the final races of the season, after the whole fire on the Lancias drama.
