Horner is more credible than any of us.
Except Horner has a track record of lying and changing his story as facts come out to prove his original line to be incorrect.
The fact that would make me dispute Horners line is that as Webber is going across the track his front right tyre is very clearly up in the air due to broken rear suspension. There is no way that Webber would not have seen this and would have thought he could continue.
That said I find it equally as believable that Webber thought he was already on the circuit and that it would be better to continue all the way across at pace as he did so knowingly and deliberately. Rosberg made a very real error in trying to outrun Webbers car - he probably didn't have time to react, but aiming for where a car currently is during a crash when it is coming across the track is definitely something all racing drivers know.
So rosberg is in error now?
Singapore all over again. Blame not Webber.
I'll take Horner more seriously than you. Sorry but I can't simply accept that the man is liar and take that as a fact. He has the telemetry and we don't. Your analysis is not what i saw either. Webber foolishly steered into the track, trying to continue.
Webber knew exactly where he was. He got so much years of experience; it's almost disreptful to him to dumb him down when it comes to controling an F1 car and knowing where he is on the track. These guys are rigorously trained for reaction time and spacial awareness. Webber is no fool behind the wheel.
He just lacks discipline.
Horner was speaking against Berger's claims. If horner was lying then it would mean Webber wanted to crash into someone. That would be the aim of the lie, not the idea that Webber had no control.Any how you look at Horner's statements, webber was wrong. Maybe it wasn't deliberate (if we accept he is a very poor driver) but it was unacceptable and he should have been punished.
