It is actually quote mining. You stated that he was conciliatory. That is exactly the same point I already quoted. The key that you apparently ignoring i "Both" could have done "something a bit different."mwillems wrote: ↑03 Aug 2023, 09:48Yes, the exact quote he said later when he calmed down apparently if you don't like it, it is mining.PikeStance wrote: ↑03 Aug 2023, 09:32Still no quote?

I'm not quote mining, he changed his tine later and said exactly what I said ge said. He started with the quotes you made and then became more conciliatory.
In terms of braking, he could have braked a little earlier to ensure he was in no danger.
He braked as hard as he could... as soon as he realised the danger. Not the same as not being able to brake earlier.
“I’ll look back over it more and see if there was more I could have done, but it’s just a shame that we’re standing here and not still on track.
“Looking back on it, I think we both could have done things a bit differently.”

Nobody is doubting he was incredible all weekend. I was chapioning him in here long before many.
This is starting to feel like djos and Ricciardo all over again. He can and will make mistakes.
I did find this.This is the closet to a "conciliatory" statement I could find.“I’ll look back over it more and see if there was more I could have done but it’s just a shame that we’re standing here and not still on track.”
Asked by PlanetF1.com if he was surprised that the FIA did not investigate the incident with Sainz, Piastri said: “I think we both could have done things a bit differently.
“It’s a very tight turn one and Carlos also didn’t have many options from where Lewis [Hamilton] was either.”
The car that Sainz saw in his mirror was Norris, not Piastri who was side by side with him. I'm afraid Carlos has only himself to blame.
Listen, you are way to binary and fixated on apportioning fault.
Piastri should have been one meter back to be safe to avoid dodgy driving in a pressure situation where people squeeze, with you being the person next to concrete. That space always closes. That isn't about making it his fault
But you live in dreamland if you think he can repeat that driving and not get hit again. That corner will always be squeezed. That is the point.
He might, in theory, be fine to drive line that, but in reality he is going to get hit a few times, no matter how much it is someone else's "fault". 1 meter made nothing for his position in the race, and I guarantee you he will be more careful in future there.
The fact remains, Sainz immaturely places blame on Piastri, while Piastri maturely did not. Psychologically this makes sense. When you know you did something wrong, you will go out of your way to convince yourself and others you are blameless. He even went so far out of his way to call Piastri "inexperience." he can get away with that because Piastri is a "rookie." When you resort to an ad hom, your argument is weak.
