I suspect Ward could clearly see the sudden rightward move of Stewart's car, and this while he was backing off to let Ward in, and that's why he reacted with such animation.

I think the initial contact which put Ward out was a racing incident. I don't think Tony could see Ward but was in fact just trying to keep his car on the good part of the track and not jump the cushion. There is not enough film to determine whether Ward was passing Tony or the other way around. Tony's car was in front though and I believe the obligation is on the fellow behind to avoid the collision.
