Again, comparing with the driver in front of them, Hamilton pulled away from the inside of the corner at an earlier stage. If that driver could stay close to the inside, why couldn't Hamilton? A few laps later a similar situation at the same corner, with Norris and Leclerc. Leclerc on the inside used these things called brakes. |
I never said it was the only line, but its the most important line in racing. You're talking about no racing, but putting blame on one person for this accident is promoting no racing.
While the build up is important, it's rather irrelevant to the incident. As entering the corner Hamilton was infront on the racing line and left enough space for Albon to be on the outside.
