Had Lewis made the chicane it would have been like every other lap, follow the leader. There was a car lengths gap between the two going in the chicane when Ham missed the apex. The only reason it closed on exit was because he went off the dry line on wet unused circuit and hurt his drive off. I bet his lap time following the incident was quicker than lap that included him missing the chicane.
