When I'm racing, if someone comes up quickly on me, but I'm able to get into a corner marginally better by being inside, I don't immediately turn into the next corner assuming that car has gone away....
This isn't hindsight, its plain common sense.
And the expression on Lewis's face when asked in a post-race interview whether he would have taken the same line as Max did was classic as he tried to come up with a polite response....eventually just grinning and saying ..."no"...
His wasn't hindsight either - although he doubtless couldn't believe his luck as he watched Max throw away his race win through pure hubris.

this 100 percent
but hey its youth over experience, its something Lewis has had to learn too. only difference is, lewis learnt...max seems somewhat stubborn
