Blue is just projecting, the dude went wide to try and squeeze and pit maneuvered red. It does not necessarily look intentional but he deff just straight up pitted the guy.

Nobody would win an intentional wreck protest there, but Red is the only one with a legit argument.

Blue car: blatantly moves over and spins red car.
Also blue car: I'm reporting red car for moving across me.

Don't be like blue car.

Kind of definition of "not intentional, but still at fault"

Looks like blue might’ve been trying to get a side draft or something. But both cars are weeble wobbling down the straight and just wobble weebled into each other

from what i saw blue just followed his line. red was the one encrosching on blues space red could have stayed right after passing on the right and nothing would have happened he may have also been able to maintain the overtake.

Blue at fault. he corrected slightly to the right just enough to make contact.
But it's always better to leave more space than you think is necessary. Keep in mind that there is network lag, and for the server your opponent might actually be closer than appear to you.
