This weekend we’re celebrating quite a few centuries. 100 poles for Lewis, Max’s 100th race for Red Bull and the 100th race since this happened...

On the condition that it doesn't cause a collision (which this did)

His defense did not cause a collision. Wokelton's mistimed overtake attempt caused the collision. It's fairly easy to understand this since you can see that he is the one who hit Rosberg, not the other way around...

you are required to leave at LEAST a car's width.

You are allowed one move to defend your position. Nico did precisely, exactly this. He then moved back to the outside and was in the process of leaving one car's width, as is the rule.

BUT if Nico was thinking ahead, he'd have know that Hamilton was closing in on him at a very high speed and he would be partially in that gap before he was able to close it.

That is not Nico's responsibility. You're trying to overtake? Your responsibility to analyze correctly.

But yeah, Wokelton is bae and can do no wrong, I know
