The Stewards do not consider this to be a typical case of “changing direction under braking” although it is our determination that the driver of Car 44 could have done more to avoid the collision.

    This is going to keep happening as the cars are a lot closer at the front than they have been for years unless the FIA start clamping down on it. You can’t overtake if you can’t make the corner and you cannot make the corner if you lock up both fronts because you went it far too hot. Even if Lewis braked to a standstill Max would have still locked up and over shot as he did earlier in the race

      As I watch Indycar right now, with Ferrruci hitting the wall inverted, I am reminded how true this is in a spec series where all the cars are basically the same.
