In my estimation, that logic simply doesn't hold up; Turn 4 follows an extensive straightaway where those who opted for the shortcut could have easily delayed their braking points, allowing them to carry significantly more momentum into turns 5 and 6... I am convinced there was a measurable advantage to be gained right there.
I don't subscribe to the various conspiracy theories surrounding Lewis Hamilton and Mercedes-Benz, though I will say the officiating needs to be far more decisive. It is simply unacceptable to allow a driver to gain a temporal advantage by cutting corners over thirty laps, only to have the stewards suddenly decide to enforce the rules in the middle of the race...
And besides, has there been any actual update regarding the investigation into the collision between Valtteri Bottas and Kimi Raikkonen? It certainly appeared to me that Kimi Raikkonen had already overtaken him...
If you’re implying that BJJ is lacking, I suspect you're just fixated on the friction with the association, whereas the actual training remains as high-caliber as it ever was...😉
