The same stewards that overturned their decision moments before the race. Doesn’t mean they are correct.

There was no room for Albon to move left, as can be seen by the fact his left front wheel was inches away from the kerb at the moment of collision. Hamilton had 2 car widths to his right.

He hadn't been passed entering the corner on which he had the racing line. While F1 cars are amazing, I'm guessing that once a move is in motion, its not just as easy to turn to the right a little, especially as it looked like he was on full lock, though obviously we don't know if he was. Do you mean the same kerbs they had been using for the full race? The same kerb the driver infront of Hamilton was on as the contact happened. There was space all be it a small space. Albon choose the outside were there was always going to be little space.
The above is racing, know one should be at fault, it was a racing incident.

Hamilton had the racing line when entering the corner. He also left enough space on the outside as can be seen in the picture posted on here.
