And if Lando had moved to take the outside line ahead of the corner it would have been called blocking and he would have got a penalty for that. F1 is kind of annoying with all the racecraft baloney. haha.
It's the same debate we go through all the time on short track, the unwritten rule is if they have your door they have the line but it get's argued all the time anyway. "That rule only applied when people didn't have spotters" "that rule is only for cars without mirrors", blah blah.
Race people the way you want to be raced, if Lando keeps his elbows out he should expect the same in return. It usually sorts itself out.
IMO the overtaking car has more responsibility to avoid those collisions than the lead car, once that car is in the turn the line is set, and the overtaking car has full view of what the lead car is doing leading up.
