I am not questioning the validity of the rules, and certainly not condoning HCN's actions towards the officials, however I am questioning the interpretation of the rules in that specific case. HCN took a line through the braking zone and round the corner and held it. WP chose the outside line and was alongside under braking into the corner. What was HCN supposed to do ??... ..brake and let him past (difficult as already under max braking ..presumeably) ..ease off as he rounded the corner and "let" WP past ?? .. or maybe just pull off the track and have a coffee ?? It was NOT a block, simple a better track position and the d1k heads who see it as a block need to watch more racing !
I find it ironic that whilst the Indy series is racked by this situation where a driver is alleged to have prevented another from passing,... F1 is embroiled in the opposite with a driver accused of LETTING another pass easily. The only common factor in these organisations is they both are run by idiots !
