He ran him off the road and then gave no room on the next apex. Whether you want to argument semantics on the term close the door or not, the accident was 100% predictable. And even though it was Pastors fault, that doesn’t mean much when you’re in the barrier.
My point is - if you’re involved in a lot of accidents, even if they aren’t your fault, you have to look at why. Being in the right doesn’t mean you did everything you could or should do to avoid being driven into. It’s no use being in the right with a broken car. Lewis learnt that lesson and is smarter now than he was back then. The whole world seen that coming except Lewis. 2018 Lewis wouldn’t have put himself in the situation to be taken out like that.
Race craft isn’t just about making passes and what not. It’s about reading the situation. Lewis is good at that now. Vettel not as much. Max still treats every corner like a world championship is on the line.
