I wouldn't be too happy about having FIA stewards on my side, unless I
was the recipient of their fines. There just isn't enough differential
speed between these cars, especially in that corner, for that
argument to hold water. My hero Kimi squeezed Hamilton off the corner--
very clear in the video. That's OK, nice tactical move. Hamilton
lifts, Kimi goes by, then Hamilton crosses behind him (no inertia
remaining there) and passes on the other side.
There isn't a racing organization in existence that would consistently
call that an illegal pass--especially the FIA. It's one of those
decisions where the stewards insert their authority into the results.
Despicable.
Not that I'm passionate about F1 or anything...
