it was racing, Alonso went for a gap that was obviously there since he was side by side before he left the track, Vergene didn't see/expect him, if he had he would have had no option but to leave him roomSectorOne wrote:Yea good question, the stewards are as inconsistent as FIA´s enforcing of the black and white rules.Hobbs04 wrote:Sector, why do they have stewards then?

You can not leave the racetrack. You can not overtake outside track limits.
Alonso is going for a gap that never exists. It would only exist for him if Vergne decides to not take the corner as he usually does.
What Alonso did was squeeze himself into a decreasing gap hoping and praying Vergne would take notice.
Vergne never did, he just drove the regular line and Alonso decided brakes are unnecessary so he kept the throttle pinned and overtook by any means necessary.
Imagine for a second there´s a brick wall outside the track limit. Do you honestly think Alonso would still keep the throttle pinned? No he would slam on the brakes as if his life depended on it.
You don´t even have to imagine a brick wall. A nice big pit of sand would be enough.

don't care who, if you don't go for a gap that is clearly enough to get side by side what are you doing in F1?
