Why Oscar Piastri Had to Make the Move Anyway

Here we go deep into the geometry. Kunal pulls out the freeze-frame: Oscar nearly 80 percent alongside before the apex. Sundaram counters with the textbook rule — front wheels must reach the rival’s mirror for entitlement to space. Soumil throws the real question: how do you measure “alongside” when every onboard gives a different perspective? The team dissects the sailing-style half-car-length rule, inside-line obligations, late-apex corner design, and whether Oscar genuinely had space on the left… or if that shouldn’t matter at all. If this rule is inconsistent, how do drivers trust the FIA?
