And looking further into your animation (and similar others) I could pretty much sum up that while the Lorentz force (or the left hand rule) model explains the consistent CW/CCW rotation of a single coil, it contributes nothing to the 3-pole motor. The 3+ poles motor rotate straightly as a result of the magnetic field alignment where one pole always gets switched upon alignment and the other two poles attract and repel in a specific angle to push forth a specific direction and has nothing to do with left/right hand rule of Lorentz force.
