That’s exactly what they should have done. Turkington had a much better start than Hill and had the run on him. Hill shouldn’t have fought back at that point when they gapped the pack easily at that point.
As much as it goes against a racers instinct in many ways, for the good of the long game in the Championship, the most successful drivers know when and when not to challenge. If he’d followed Turkington for a couple of laps, Ingram would never have got a sniff, and unless there was a mechanical failure, or they fetched each other off later on, you could have all but guaranteed a WSR 1-2. Once they were way off down the road, then Hill could have thought about jostling for position with Turkington.
