That’s what I’m talking about, you don’t allow a collision because you don’t allow free racing between the two.
Then that's not racing - that's time trials.
You have to be able to let them race.
Within that dynamic becomes the risk balance - two team mates should be instructed by the team to be more considered in their racing style because of the greater impact of a crash.
The individual drivers have to balance that with their own ambitions.
F1 operates as a team and individual sport simultaneously.
Norris was right to try to gain a place. Piastri was right to keep the place he'd earned.
Norris was stupid because he took a risk that destroyed his race, and could also have destroyed Piastri's too - ironically, taking Piastri out too would have been a better outcome for his individual competition, but terrible for the team.
The sensible choice would have been to wait for a clear opportunity to overtake, keeping himself in the race, in the championship hunt and also not damaging his position within the team.
McClaren will favour Piastri now with upgrades and tactics to ensure he gets that title and probably hold Lando off in 50/50 calls to ensure he doesn't put himself or Piastri out of the race.
I've always questioned Landos mentality - this will be an interesting test. If it's Senna, Schumacher, Verstapen in this position they would now push it even harder and more aggressively - Lando isn't that kind of racer, but if he tries it (and he has to if he wants to fight for the title) he'll probably end up in the wall a lot
