Man,,,I agree,,,That was spooky and very much the lead cars fault. The guy behind can make as many moves, right and left as he likes but the guy in front only gets one.
I can see how people hold differing opinions. Both Suranovich now and Senna before start moving back to the outside but they always leave space. However, I suspect that in these instances the trajectory tricks the following driver into thinking he will continue to block the outside.
For example, you can see clearly in this video (0:45 - 0:48) that there was always space for Conor on the outside. It was the same for Michael in Spain. However in both cases the lead driver starts to turn back leading to a last minute reaction from the following driver that ultimately leads to the accident.
I think Suranovich was a little more justified under the "one-move" rule because the back strait at Monaco is curved... I suspect that he always had the steering wheel right of center. It doesn't much matter though because in each instance both drivers were taken out of the race.
