The F1 Driving protocols

"16.1 "Incident" means any occurrence or series of occurrences involving one or more drivers, or any action by any driver, which is reported to the stewards by the race director (or noted by the stewards and referred to the race director for investigation) which:
- necessitated the suspension of a race under Articles 41;
- constituted a breach of these Sporting Regulations or the Code;
- caused a false start by one or more cars;
- caused a collision;
- forced a driver off the track;
- illegitimately prevented a legitimate overtaking manoeuvre by a driver;
- illegitimately impeded another driver during overtaking."

20.2 Manoeuvres liable to hinder other drivers, such as more than one change of direction to defend a position,
deliberate crowding of a car beyond the edge of the track or any other abnormal change of direction, are not permitted."

Itpro's view of the incident:
"Lewis exits the corner on the 'correct line' (near to the outer kerb). Fernando continues with the overtaking manouvre started earlier, plots his 'line' and then Hamilton contunies to move 'right' on Fernando crossing the 'line' to which Fernando has committed himself. Fernando has no further front end grip available to him and understeers into Lewis."

Now, what part of 'steered into his line to stop the overtake, so closely that the following driver could not avoid an incident" doesn't qualify as a move to impede another driver's overtake under 20.2 or under 16.1 -"Caused a collision" or "illegitimately impeded another driver during an overtaking manoeuvre". Looking at the video I'm not convinced that Lewis did not also back off, in an attempt to force Alonso into a braking mistake as well.

There is a very fine line between 'made my intention to drive a certain line clear' and 'started my move after the other driver was committed to an overtake'. Generally I think you count yourself as a good driver if you force the other driver to slow done, perhaps lose ground as he overbrakes to avoid you or an 'oops' driver if it results in a racing incident.
