I did this to secure my first second place in SRS 
I allowed two very marginally faster drivers go by me so that I could strategically sneak past. Both of these guys were around 0.015-0.025s slower than on quali pace but were faster during the race. Kept my nose clean and let one go and let him catch 3rd while I fought for 5th. Soon I let him go too. At this point, 4th caught up to 3rd, attempted a pass but got slammed by 3rd, the collision leading to 4th taking out 5th. Gained 2 positions and got right behind 3rd and passed him on the same lap when he made a mistake. 2nd was gifted because he ran out of fuel.
In any case, I don't think faster drivers shouldn't be challenged on track for position. It's why they race and us midfielders also like the challenge of trying to defend. Do defend but not to the point of ruining your own race or another driver's.
