PARAPHRASING

there is a certain racing line that all drivers take in that sequence of corners

when max went round the outside at the first corner and colliding with Lewis in the next corner, Lewis took the natural line, max went off the racing line and rejoined in an unnatural position

in the ensuing collision the greater burden of fault was placed on max due to the unnatural racing line
