It says: "More than one change of direction to defend a position is not permitted.
Not the first and certainly not the last time the steward got this wrong. |
At first I was blaming LH for once again being impatient. Then, after watching it over and over it really seemed as though NR deliberately drove him off the track. He certainly did not leave a car width. In fact NR's wheels were almost on the grass. WAY off the racing line. A dick move for sure.
Initial reactions tell the story. LH was pissed, throwing his steering wheel, and NR kinda gives an "aww shucks" swing with his arm.
That debrief had to be pure rage!
Will be very curious to see how the team handles it. They keep refusing to name a #1 driver so no reason to believe it won't happen again.
