I tend to agree with Toto here - no blame on Oscar here at all I think the best drivers over the years have exploited these kinds of rules, just I can see this as one drivers will push to the very limits to the point they barely make the corner themselves and go outside anything they would do any other lap to push an opponent wide - Max in particular I can see in pushing the rules to the limit through the season and I am not sure I like it without the need to give the guy on the outside room
But they are the rules as they stand
Why would any driver do anything else? It's embarrassing that ANY driver ever gets passed on the outside when it's flatout LEGAL to just run the other driver off-track, even if they're ahead of you.
I dont know how much I need to harp on how much this is destroying the racing, but it's the drivers themselves who seem to like this ability to bully others unfairly that's keeping this insistence in. Or another way of saying it - it's the cowardice of the FIA to clamp down and tell the drivers to STOP it, so we can get better, more exciting, and fairer racing.
I'm really getting tired of modern F1. I dont know what I'm actually watching for anymore.
