He's arguing against the rulebook, and he's hardly kept that to himself.
Or to continue the football analogy, what if every time you got close to the oppositions net you could press a button that would make the net temporally much bigger giving the attacker a huge advantage making goal scoring much easier, almost certain. You may end up with 50, 60, 70 goals per game… would this be better?
Its crazy, the car in front can make no mistakes but the cars behind can easily drive past, even with a mistake. The cars in front are defenceless… and often don’t even bother trying to defend anymore.
Vettel has historically tended to manage to stay out in front, somehow. Hamilton's problem was that his car was slower than the Ferrari - this is always liable to result in him being overtaken. If he'd had more than 1s lead...etc. etc.
