I am a bit less accommodating of De Campos drive Trev. As McDonald had the inside, I see it the reverse of you - he showed no signs of surrendering the lead and yet De C kept persisting
He was going to get the lead but should have got another ½ m clear before coming down
As it was the biggest of races, the stewards were entitled to be ropable too - what if he had brought JJM down
Magnificent won magnificently and very hard to say he would not have done so from the death But he broke the rules to take the lead
I didn't see any Stewards room footage and have not bothered reading much about it
I didn't expect them to uphold the protest but I would not have been totally surprised - it would have been drawing a moat as opposed to a line in the sand
Overall it says something about how ridiculously leader biased the GP track is (thus drives like we saw last night)
I was happy to see Magnificent win
