[Sir_Hobbes]

I don't understand how he could be simply protecting "his line" when Rubins was already beside him. That is impossible to dispute as look at the damage on Ralf's car from where Rubbin's tire hit it. Ralf was maybe about half a cars lenght ahead. Isn't that kind of late to be protecting it? If Ralf had checked his mirror on the left before going left (seems to make sense to do so) he should have probably seen a mirror full of Rubbins. If Ralf had just gone straight into the turn and not swerved or "drifted" to the outside all three most likely would have made it through the first turn. Thus the accident was avoidable and that is why he is being penalized, in my oppinion.
