Agree that they should be consistent with track limits, it's pretty pathetic how the police it, and pretty frustrating most of the time. People were going wide all weekend on 10 and 19 but apparently the non-racer rule makers didn't consider it to be an advantage, and certainly not if everyone does the same thing.
I think the Verstapen incident was much different though. He passed Kimi on the inside of the track, and roughly a meter off the track. You could do that, passing someone anywhere on most tracks if you make your own corner like that. I feel like there is a difference between gaining time by 'widening' the track, which I still think should be penalized (we get it), and passing a person by cutting through the track. It's just wrong. He blatantly left the track to gain a position.
There are so many other 'rules of engagement' that I put on par with that move, even if legal. I really dislike forcing people off the edge of the track because you 'have the line' or are 'entitled to the line', I think that's a BS rule and a classless move on any drivers part - Hamiltons specialty on Rosberg, frankly I think it's just as bad as passing someone when you are off the track, somehow legal. Bump passing is supposedly illeagle but I don't think I have ever seen someone penalized for it, and I continue to see it happen...incredibly cheap, about as cheap as drs
What makes one questionable pass acceptable over the other? In current F1, the steward who is judging for the weekend...unfortunately. Apparently this steward was the same steward who made the decision in Mexico last year...
