I don't have a dog in this fight but my first thought is that HAM simply closed the door on ROS and it bit him. Sure, ROS could have braked with one iota of increased pressure but HAM could also have left him a little more room knowing full well that he was right next to him. It was a racing incident and nothing more, in my book. These incidents happen at lightning speed yet they are discussed like they are premeditated acts. It doesn't make sense.
The 'rule' is if a driver is not more than 1/2 a car length attempting to pass you that they are supposed to give way. There is no effin way someone clearly in front and on the racing line should have to move over.
