As was pointed out in the comments of the last post, none other than Niki Lauda has come out in support of Lewis and his driving in Belgium.
In the interest of fairness, let’s see what he has to say for himself.
He was on the outside, and then let him (Raikkonen) by, which is the rule. Niki Lauda
Is this the rule though? This is what I’ve been considering to be the crux of the matter - it’s the general feeling that all Hamilton had to do was allow Kimi to regain the place, but from what others believe he should have basically also opened up a little gap behind Kimi as well - or at the very least waited a corner or so before attempting to pass again.
