I don't know. It's very strange to see the backend try and overtake the frontend in mid-corner like that.
To quote Brundle 'I bet it surprised him'. Yes IMHO I bloody bet it did. The onboard was strange as there was no over-correction or any strange steering at all. It just suddenly went bye-bye with the only possibility being that it was due to a down-shift.
He was too agressive and the tyres were cold. Those cars have more downforce but when you lose it, you simply lose it. It was a driver mistake. Like Schumacher used to say, "I only make a mistake per season, today I have already done it".
Hamilton said afterwards that it was his fault.
Oh no doubt it was Hamilton's fault. I still bet it surprised the hell out of him though as there were no warning signs.
