The reason this works in most cases is simply because one driver yields the position in favor of the most aggressive and risk taker driver.
the possible outcomes from the poster above are spot on.. I would have done the exact same thing if I was Webber in that situation..
This is also gaining Webber a physiological advantage over Lewis for the upcoming races, similar to what he did to Vettel in Turkey.. From now on, I think Lewis is going to either continue crashing onto people or simply take less risks and do what Button does..
He cleared webber. Webber is the attacker here. What can Mark defend if his defense is already breached? You can't defend something if you already lost it.
Webber can't even defend the apex, because it is around the corner and not in his field of vision. He was fighting a lost cause in that turn, we've seen him fight lost causes many times.
Usually when driving on the inside, you have to be at least toe to toe with the attacker to hold off the inside. And the key word is attacker, Hamilton is not the attacker, Webber is; yet he is defending?! Webber was flustered.
Think about it objectively.
