A typical F1 start incident.
If you are on the outside in the turn it's very unlikely that you can achieve an instant decreasing radius and maintain grip. If the driver on the inside can see more than half of the car on the outside, the corner belongs to the outside car.

Therefore, Stroll did not move differently than any driver would in that part of the corner. On the flip side, if the inside car's driver is greedy and stupid, then he doesn't realize he can't stay on his line without the arc of his turn eclipsing the arc of the first car.

2 cars don't share the same pace well at the same time. There is no argument about this. Leclerc did not drive the corner well or he wouldn't have been being passed on the outside. If Stroll was the greedy one and going in too hot, he sure as hell couldn't have shortened his turn. If Leclerc was so slow that Stroll could have shortened his turn, then he was just plain in the way.

If you're that slow, get out of the way. Or wreck the guy like a Dale Earnhardt.
