Worst case he forced him to ride the white line, so the move was perfectly judged.
Perez was on the limit with that white line, but that's not a problem for me there. The overlapping wheels are. If there had been a bigger speed difference between them, it wouldn't have ended nicely for both of them.
If Hamilton had been 10 cm more to the left, for me it would have been a perfect, aggressive but safe ride. With wheels overlapping... It's excessive aggressive
Oh yea, you can call it excessively aggressive, i think it's aggressive but just on the limit, thus fair, opinions can differ ... i just wanted to show that it wasn't as close as some here (from a certain fan camp, of course) were making it out to be and not at all comparable to running someone off track in the corner, as done by various drivers in this sprint.
There's just two very very brief moments where their tyres probably overlap and it's hard to tell whether Perez still had some margin to the right (and judging by the offboard i would say yes, frames 42-46) in the first instance (even though RIC for example has shown over and over that dipping a wheel onto the grass partially can be done without loss of control) and Lewis instantly moves away to allow more space, the second time there's already painted tarmac so it was not at all dangerous.
And it turns out It's in the footage, even the highlights as i found out today, so it's easy to verify that Perez always had the legally required space if you count the line as part of the track, everything past that is just complaining for the sake of it and a waste of time, really - and it would not surprise me if some people on the internet were more upset about it than Perez himself
