However, I understand that from di Resta's perspective watching Hamilton spin his car like that would cause concern. I am not advocating the move, I'm simply saying that his options were limited.

And I'll also say, that I doubt any of us have raced a car in anger with the degree of involvement and pressure that the F1 guys do. Even after I have done one, ten, even sixty track-days I don't think I would begin to elude that I know what it is like for them.
The reason I ask is because the basic track rule that shouldn't be broken is, if you spin, wait 'til the other cars come by before you try and rejoin. It's not just an F1 rule, it's the same for pretty much every series and track event out there.
