    Again, I know nothing of F1, so I hope I don’t offend anyone. I know you need to protect the drivers, but it seems like allowing that maneuver, along with sensors letting drivers know that another car just dipped into their planned line, would make for more exciting racing. There’s probably a legit reason this is not the way it is.

      This is allowed but within the FIA guidelines that define what is taken into consideration when applying penalties for racing incidents. If Kmag didn’t make contact, there wouldn’t have been a problem…hopefully that helps
