yeah, he was beside him , in a position of disadvantage, the only way he could have made the turn at that speed, was by steering into Kimi...

5.9.2 When two cars are side to side, both cars have to leave room for
the other car and not steer into him, both have the same rights

eg, the rules dictate that Kimi did not have to slow down to let Hamilton make the corner.. and without Kimi slowing down, Hamilton couldn't make it, as clearly demonstrated by him going off piste...He simply did not have the right line to carry the speed he did.

barely he was supposed to be not at race pace, until Kimi was well back in the lead... not just 0.05% off the throttle, with less then half a meter clearance...
If he had gone less then race pace, Kimi would have had much more speed then him, in such a way that Hamilton would not have been able to leap back within a second.

the definition of race pace, i think is quite clearly not the speed Hamilton was carrying the split second Kimi's rear cleared Hamilton's nose...
