actually its quite refreshing for someone to admit that a quick nudge is used as an attempt to pass. i know it is, i know its deliberate and not the "sorry he braked early/i braked late" or various other lame excuses, that said if it was a final and i saw a "tap" then you will get a warning, if the tap leads to you overtaking i will ask you to give the position back, if the tap leads to a crash i will give you a penalty. in qualifying it is slightly different, the biggest issue i have to deal with is people complaining that the car in front was slower but wouldn't let me pass, now in some circumstances thats is rubbish but in some it is true, i cannot tell you to let a car pass, i can only inform the drivers of the current positions, if i call the order and a car which is slower decides to hold up a car who is in front on the clock and there was a "tap", i will admit i might not "see" the alledge tap.
