Actually we "discussed" all of those incidents, so your point is kinda moot materaymondu999 wrote:Come on now people. We're all humans.

I take it you didn't actually watch the race, Komnisnosm?komninosm wrote:It was exactly the same, half the car was over the white line near the wall. Go check the pictures in that thread.vall wrote:it was not the same!!! Alosno was still on track, while RB is clearly out. Imagine if a car was coming out of the pits?
The difference was it was on slower speed cause it was race start.
I'd have been just as angry as Seb was had I been in his position!raymondu999 wrote:Come on now people. We're all humans.

You obviously don't actually read the forum very much. People have been very critical of Alonso, myself included, for his petulant remarks and rightly so. Also Hamilton was roundly criticised for his 'terrible idea' remarks.raymondu999 wrote:Come on now people. We're all humans.

If you check closely the threads about Alonso and Hamilton are questions. Are they desperate and losing it? As far as Vettel is concerned there is no question, he is indeed desperate and losing it. So no need for a threadecapox wrote:This forum, and most internet forums for that matter, are all about the "jump on the guy while he is down". Fernando has some issues and out comes the "Is ALonso losing it" thread. THen there is the Lewis thread and while Vettel doesnt have his own thread yet, i bet it isnt too far off.
He was pissed, i'd be too if i had no idea what was going on. Give him the benefit of the doubt that he was in the dark about it.
Nice try but watch the tyre marks in the road. Shumacher's "line" was aligned to shepherd a driver into the wall. His line was based solely on giving rubens 2 options; come beside me and die of blunt trauma with a concrete wall, or brake and stay behind me.WhiteBlue wrote:
Haug said that Michael kept his line while Rubens went inside for a gap that wasn't going to be big enough. Here we see him behind and already with two wheels off track. He could have easily backed off.
looks like Michael still keeping his line
and here he starts to drive left a bit more
staying on that line which still leaves very little room
Michael going left leaving a bit more room with Rubens now only with two wheels on track
evolving, Rubens getting completely off track
Michael finally giving room but clearly very late
Rubens missed the wall by just centimeters. Rubens did get himself into a very tight spot and clearly did not lift when he should have. Michael was brutally hard there and drove Rubens clearly off track and almost into the wall. It was dangerous driving I think but in the end they did not have an accident and Rubens should have known better than trying such a move on Michael without being in front. Perhaps both drivers should be reprimanded. Rubens went deliberately off track to pass and Michael did not give enough room once that Rubens was committed. He should have let the fool through instead of risking their life. In the final dangerous moment only Michael could prevent the accident, which he did but by a too small margin. Penalty should be given to send a clear message that driving off track isn't ok.
