Nope. It isn't. Not in the literal sense.



Parallel cars running at the same speed makes a safe rejoin a team effort. The sensible thing to do is to let them back on. Easy enough to do with the full width of the straight available.



It was on the straight when the Merc tried to merge and the car's were almost side by side. There's no 'best line' on a straight.

Did Rosberg let Lewis back on the track when he ran him out of road at the red bull ring? Or did Le Clerc let Verstappen back on track at silverstone when he ended up wide? No because in both cases one car was not on the track and the driver on the track has the right of way.
A safe rejoin wound have meant backing off and getting on the tail of the lead car, not trying to ram him over. And also at that point how do you know that the car that’s gone wide isn’t pitting? He was in the pit lane after all.
I say best line because in another post here it was stated that that was the line he had taken previously, you also stated that this is “quickest line when it's done right”. The track ends at the white line, at the start of the straight the Merc is beyond the white line and more than half a car behind.
