At the beginning and middle of the corner, he was not ahead.

The plenty of room on Hamiltons side is where Albon should have been, pushing Hamilton wide into the corner. Trying to overtake on the outside when the other driver is on the racing line is always going to be risky. The picture above clearly shows there is a cars width of space. The reason Hamilton still ended up near the edge of the track is because that is the natural racing line. Albon wasn't ahead when the move was made nor was he ahead in the middle of the corner. He was only ahead when it was too late for either driver to back out. It's clear from the on board shot from Hamilton that he wasn’t pushing Albon out wide.

The stewards (ex drivers) apparently didn't agree with you.
