Yeah , a car that couldn't pass the Ferrari for most of the race , suddenly takes ten seconds out of it in the last ten or so laps and passes it convincingly for the win .
I figured it was time for the Lewis win , to go along with the big plan , but I didn't figure he'd put the bull in the barriers to do it .
Max left Lewis enough room inside , even opening the wheel when he saw the car , as Chandock showed afterwards in the analysis .
Button pointed out that Lewis understeered into Max , most importantly , never getting to the apex , so Max had clearly left enough room .
Thus , ten seconds sounds fair to me .
If Max had pushed Lewis right into the apex , I would see it differently .
Then , perhaps I could see it as a racing incident .
As it was , Lewis would know he would be at serious risk of losing grip trying to make the corner so tight , and he'd also be pretty aware that Max would have more speed on a wider trajectory .
When it was Lewis and Leclerc , Lewis was farther in and on a better line to make the corner . That was what I saw as a fair one .
It was a stellar drive to come back after that , even if you can discount it to some degree being they have another gear .
It was still a good drive .

I think with the information we know right now, that is about right on the money. I am really surprised Aston Martin hasn't made the jump.
