I wish he had been sure that I was there in an early stage. If so he would've given me more space. I know Kurt and I know he was sliding out due to going maximum speed for that corner. He wasn't going wide in the exit on purpose, the grip was not good enough on cold rubber, and he ends up going in the racing line. I believe he tried to go tight after noticing my car. And I was the one who made the decision to challenge him there, I came from behind, almost "diving" in on his outside. I don't think I can blame him for using the normal racing line.I am sorry to meddle again, but I do not quite agree on your analysis of this incident, especially considering what you wrote in the video. I feel it sets a dangerous presendence. (I am thinking of the contact with Kurt, not Bob)
When I watch your video I think I to would have "gone for" the outside (iow stayed where you were and leave room on your inside), it is 40 seconds into the race and Kurt is not allowed to claim the full width of the racing track unless he is certain that the coast is clear.
In my view I would expect you Valter to maybe leave a bit more room on the inside and Kurt to assume he has someone on his outside, make a tight apex and leave room throughout the corner.
As always, I am only one person, so my opinion can be wrong. I have also not seen what happend from the start until the clip above starts.
He didn't drive in line with our own Presto GP gentleman code because he didn't see my car soon enough. I think in a real life situation he wouldn't be blamed for the touch even if it was seen as a defensive move.
