can't do that

if he had been on the inside, he would have had a case, he would have had the advantage
but he wasn't, so it's his fault...he did not have the right of way

It wasn't Kimi who was pushing to pass , so it wasn't Kimi who forced anything
Hamilton did, and he made the first mistake

But, by having his nose ahead of Kimi going into the corner it can be argued that Hamilton had the line. Either way, Kimi early apex'd and drove him off the track

second mistake, was not slowing down enough to be below full race pace, and not long enough to undo the advantage he got by cutting

it's not enough to let the other guy in front of you for a split second
you have to slow down , below race pace, he did not.

Again, can you show us in the regs where it talks about "race pace", how much speed you must reduce in percentages and how much didtance you need to give in order to fullfill these rules? Nope, it says you must give up the position...which he did. .[/QUOTE]
