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).
Four things stood out for me during the weekend...

1. Q3 debacle was entirely avoidable, the teams chose to dance and the song ended early. Result was the same. Mercedes were the only losers in this, however I doubt Toto and Valteri could ever have the "I want you to tow Lulu to pole" conversation.
2. LeClerc's pass on the Renault into Parabolica...massive courage on hard tires. Had to get it done there. Got me on my feet.
3. LeClerc chose his line into the chicane. Lulu chose his. The track ran out at the end of Lulu's line and he continued on in any case. He should have braked and fallen in. It was not evident that LeClerc jinked to push Lulu over, it looked steady and solid from my view. I was hampered by Monza's tiny video screens, but he looked good to me (and several thousand Tifosi) Hamilton did not convince, he should give way...
4. Ferrari let the wrong driver go at the end of last year.

PS Quick note to Liberty Media - I want to hear the cars drive off onto the formation lap, not have them drowned out by the techno of DJ Doofus. I like EDM and Dance as much as the next guy but we paid to hear the cars, not the band....
