@@toddthezondalover645 Little bumps at the apex to establish your space in a sportscar is fine. That's rubbing. Rubbing is not physically pushing another car off track at exit because they have a better line than you. That's just a lack of skill. Same thing in open wheel cars. Getting a better exit and giving the outside car a little squeeze is fine. Shooting past the apex and fully running the outside car out of road, risking a crash is a Verstappen move and dumb. I will never like the "Yield or crash" mentality as it kills good side-by-side racing.

Makes me laugh that bmw and Ferrari got penalties post race at Daytona because they out performed their BOP but before Lexus crashed out they were keeping up and then Sebring rolls around and Lexus are still 0.5 seconds a lap clear in qualifying and were superior in pretty much every aspect during the race. If Porsche , corvette or any other manufacturer was 0.5 seconds clear in qualifying they would have had BOP changes through the night . Still it was brilliant racing yet some what of a predictable outcome
