Max's choice to block was the cause of the collision, not Daniel's speed or direction. He was the victim.
Now tell me that when you're driving down the highway at the speed limit, and another driver moves in front of you, inside your braking distance, going a lot slower, that the ensuing collision is your own fault.

You are right about the reduced downforce . And that was because Daniel was in Max his slipstream . But by the reduced downforce of the slipstream , he had lack of grip from his front tires and his brakes locked up like crazy !
That's why we can see all the smoke from hell coming from his brakes BEFORE the collision , and before he SLIDED into Max.
You guys seem also to forget , that they came from the straight at topspeed and the apex was VERY NEAR (left 90° turn) was only 100 meters in front of them !
This was not the right place , and not the right moment to try something like an overtake !
*IF* Daniel could pass Max . He was not able to make it , at that speed through the left turn .
AMEN !
