all those things are true, but it doesn't mean you can run another car off the road just because you want the points and refuse to accept that another car may have actually passed you.

Was Maldanado ever actually in front though?

don't have to "actually be in front" to deserve to be left some room. Right up alongside will do.

if you've just poked you wing in there, or its your front tyre up to their rear tyre then you've got no claim on the corner and should GTFO, but when you're fully alongside, you do have some entitlement to racing room.

maybe I should have said "...refuse to accept another car may actually be passing you..."

Just found this;

20.4 Manoeuvres liable to hinder other drivers, such as deliberate crowding of a car beyond the edge of the track or any other abnormal change of direction, are not permitted.

How they penalised Maldonado and not Ham has me beat.

edit. Kimi's bird isn't great looking in that pic but he has the richness covered well and truly.

I fail to see how anyone here can support pasta in that move.

ALL the good drivers shove the other off the track to overtake to ensure no chance of them coming back.

Here is pasta on Webber same race:

edit: Also my 2nd favourite driver is Kobayashi. The overtakes this guy makes and the good ol' wheel tap on the way through. Legend!

Really want to see him in a top car.

I don't support Maldonado's move by any means it was a dick move but rules are rules I'm just puzzled why they aren't consistant. If Webber and him crashed then they might have taken a look at it same as Rosberg got away with it in Bahrain because nobody got hit somehow. Also the lap previous Ham left a car width for Kimi and he should have done the same for Maldonado.

the fundamental difference in the above Maldonardo Weber pass is that by the time he runs Weber out of road, Weber only has a front tyre overlapping his rear. Hamilton ran Maldonardo off the road when they were fully alongside each other.
