Now when it comes to overtaking if you get pushed wide that should be interpreted one way with it absolutely not counting to your track limits violations and if you choose to run wide to hold onto the position that should be interpreted the other way.
but isn’t ‘being pushed wide’ and ‘choosing to run wide’ arguable in practice?
in a battle for position, the one on the inside will take any space given.
Maybe this is the reason they get 3 free passes for these situations (running wide with no clear advantage gained)
It’s dependent on whose corner it is as judged by the rules and stewards, your corner or 50 50, you were pushed, their corner and you ran wide. At some point you can’t make the corner and it was never yours to stay in front without going wide.
You’ll still get the penalty if you stayed ahead going wide (not pushed wide) and stay ahead by not handing the place back. We see that all the time already…
