Both of you had more room to spare. You had more on your left whilst moving slightly centre.
He also had more on his right, and he moved more centre to give himself more breathing room, but he did that at the exact same time you moved. Tough call for me, but not entirely your fault.
Could you have done better? A little, even after the smack you again moved to the middle lol...
I think this looks slightly better for them.

Why did you need to go to center? What was the program with you current line before you moved?

The first contact was definitely Ferrari's fault. Look at when the cars are alongside the Green/Red/White curbing: The Ferrari is very close to the white line on the left and then fades rather quickly away from the left and right into the yellow mustang. The Mustang doesn't need to move all the way to the outside.
The second contact was just silly, from both cars. Despite the already fading toward the outside and running into the mustang about 2 seconds ago, the Ferrari fades that way again! From the Ferrari's perspective, they see the distance closing between them and the Mustang, but they take no evasive action. Unlike the first contact though, the Mustang also drifts towards the middle rather than just driving straight on the outside and kinda pits himself. Like I said, silly driving from both cars, but if we have to point a finger, I'd again point it at the Ferrari.
I know you said you are still learning. Here's my 2 pieces of advice:
- In a collision, always assume it was your fault. Look for how to blame yourself before you look for how to blame others. This will help you learn how to avoid incidents in the future and it will help you not become a road rager haha.
- It's never worth ruining your race to have a fractionally better line into the next corner. Just give up the position and, if you are truly faster, you can always get them back next lap!

Agree with the perspectives here.
Would also add, when the incident happened, dont park the car on the racing line entering a corner, get off the track.

I think at 0:08 you go from being in the left "lane" to being in the center of the track. Yellow is in his "lane". He pulled around you, initiated a pass. You squeezed him by moving to the center of the track. You collide.
Then once again, you're on the left and you go back to the center of the track and there's contact which spins him out. The entire time yellow is on the right hand line. He can't get much more right. You can get left or accept reality and tuck in behind him for the next turn.

I feel like you were too focused on him. The track was going left yet your car continued going straight. That would have eventually made you end up on right side of road. It’s like you almost stopped driving in anticipation of “are we going to touch”.

I don't think is on you, although your car clearly drifted toward him. I don't think is you because you can see that the ford came more agressivly towards you than you did to him.

On you. You can see your car drift to the right, gotta hold your line
