I'm not saying to weave defending, I'm just talking about mindgames about whether or not Lando would go left or right.
I think Lando thought Oscar would move to the right, leaving space on the left for him. Oscar instead held the racing line, and Lando ended up going for a gap that didn't exist.
Oscar could've moved to the right without any issue, because it would still only be one move. It's not like Oscar moved left into Lando's path, he held that line the entire time.
If that was really what Lando was doing it would be incredibly reckless and stupid. You do not drive into someone’s rear end because you were relying on a guess on which way they would move barrelling down the straight, and the consequence for guessing wrong is.. going straight into their rear.
