There is no pretending, there are people around that were in that race, saw the incident, were part of it or saw it on replay.

Pretending then example situations: the car ahead had their left clear completely not only "completely" (where half of their cars overlap) and did not push/bump car on their left then there would be no collision and as long as both drivers adjusted speed down accordingly to racing situation there would be no contact on top of the hill either and both would exit onto the straight just fine.
Obviously when cars do overlap before corner entry, one or both do not give the other space and contacts happen then they both usually go out.
Another issue on Eau Rouge is rejoining the track especially rejoining on it's upper part or behind the hill in blind spot, do this wrong and it's a carnage.

Overtaking in Eau Rouge? Quite doable when drivers respect each other and give enough space. But when one can't do it, thinks the other can't do it either and thus tries to block or otherwise not give space then contacts happen... it's a crash.

F1 is a totally different category than DTM 90's where maybe you can pull off a stunt like that because the reactions are so fast and you have greater downforce to aid traction, although if one thinks they are professional and talented enough to try it, then hope the other driver is equally talented to be a success. F1's and high downforce cars may be a bit easier to try 2 wide but i don't recommend it, for every 10 x you try, you might make it thru 50% of the time without a wreck.

Like it hasn't happened almost every race at least once, and you're concerned that somebody actually had this happen and might be offended if they read it.....Ohhh, you mean 90% of all drivers on SRS have had this happen because they aren't professional enough to make it thru unscathed like you.
