He should have made Melo drive around him, or at least keep it under control enough so that if/when Melo bumped him, he wouldn't spin. He could have blocked him all the way to the checkered.

My only issue is people calling it "good clean racing" It defintiely wasn't dirty, but it wasn't completely clean either.

I would expect "bumping" in that situation, in that race, all the way to the checker if they were together that long. Jorg let him inside, where he could have his way with him. He shouldn't have let him inside after taking the lead. Jorg was in the lead, just not at the point that counts.

Let's try this: would Jorg have lost if he wasn't bumped?
Also, if Melo was in the bumping spirit, why would have "shutting the door" helped? Wouldn't Melo have hit him anyway?

Jorg braked late, Melo moved on a faster line... jorg lost. Melo had the better line, by a big margin.
Maybe Jorg thought melo was still on the outside, whathever the reason, Jorg lost because of Jorg.

Melo still wasnt faster than him. Jorg was faster out of the corner till melo made him loose. Thats the problem, it doesnt look like it in regular speed, but in slow mo birdseye you can see it. Jorg had to get off the gas to save it so it looks like melo was faster. If jorg wasnt bumped he would have took off on the outside line and run away from him.
Also jorg didnt nessesarily brake late, melo pushed him way inside so it looks like he braked late when he was just on a different line.
And a bump is fine when your side by side, infact it makes it exciting, but hitting someones raer corner is a no.
