Opening question: Was the move defensible in context, or was it a low-percentage decision that risked too much?

Hard racing, but poor risk-reward at that stage. It was the kind of move that can ruin both races.

If you are in a title fight, that margin has to be cleaner.

I see it as a misjudgment under pressure, not malicious driving. Still, consequences were huge.
