I don't see it that way.
In my view, that was Taylor's mistake (much) more than Derani's.
The fact that Race Control decide 'no further action' is possibly a sad precedence. #7 gets to keep the second place while its rival is out of the race and gets credited with 6th (or what was it?). Not good, and IMO: not fair.
TBH I thought race cntrol had a few surprising and disappointing decisions that evening, not just that one.
Ricky Taylor re-gains a bit of respect for taking Derani apart and talking with him one-on-one. Way better than Derani being physically annoyed by Jordan Taylor and Castroneves who were both not involved in that incident.
