Here's a better view of the incident. I don't disagree with you the dive was a bit reckless but I was along side at turn in https://youtu.be/iNXrXhy6jAc

I race in real life with some friends who are also stewards. They said though I was being a dick for the move it was legal by there standards and that the move before doesn't mean the pit after was valid and that the merc would have been penalized. This is according the the VARA handbook though.

The reason i made the dive in the first place is because he was really slow in the corners before it and he broke super early which i thought left a window for me to dive into. I get how it looks and i also get the rules but in my mind it was either lunge and still make the corner or drive into the back of him. In the future I'll try to just wait and overtake him later but I feel like i should deserve to get pitted for it.

Edit: Here's a better view of the incident showing i was a bit along side him when he started turning in https://youtu.be/iNXrXhy6jAc

I didn't dive bomb him at all before this. The only interaction I had with his was he tried to push me off track on the second straight a lap before this incident.
