Lewis will probably need to give the place back to Max, but he's right to wait until he's instructed.
As I say, I don’t follow as closely as you guys, but for me Max put his car in Lewis’ turning space and made him go wide.
Problem Max has now is that he has to pit much earlier than Lewis. He needed to build a lead before he pitted. Now that's not going to happen.
Seeing it again then it's not as clear as I first thought but I still think the place should have been given back.
Yeah, this. Max was aggressive but made the corner at the end of the day. Lewis had to divert to avoid a collision. But Max's horrid start off the line caused this. He really shouldn't have let Lewis get past him off the line given he was on soft tyres.
I don’t understand the nuances of the sport, but in my world if a driver effectively takes another driver’s line, without clear space, forcing the other driver to take evasive action or crash, the fault would lie with the driver taking the space.
