Formula 1: Help! I watched the wrong race...

 

You ARE watching a different race. Rubens was trapped - he COULDNT go left
or right. Ralf - unknowingly perhaps - was either going to push them both
off the track - or crash trying

God damnit - watching that time and time again - Ralf drove like a complete
bloody idiot.

Having put it down as a racing incident less than an hour ago I'm
starting to agree. Watching carefully, there are clearly 2 moves - he
pauses his drift when it looks like he recognises Trulli coming up
behind him. And then for some reason he starts up again. Staying where
he was (at the pause point) he would protect his position from all the
people behind.

I'm not so sure. From tat angle it looks like Ralf's fault, but from
his perspective? Difficult to say.

Alonso's overtake of MS though?

Subconsciously, I must have thought it was a tat angle ...

He clearly didnt see either Kimi OR Rubens OR both. As driver it's his job
to make damn sure he wasnt going to total someone else with that move - and
whilst he probably didnt know both were there he should have seen at least
one. He should have made damn sure that pulling further left wasnt going to
impinge on another driver. Even if there had only been Kimi OR Rubens - it'd
have been a dodgy move - but that there were both turned a dodgy move into
what was very VERY nearly a horrific crash. A few feet to the left and Kimi
would be out the DWC all together with injuries imho.

So it's not pulling left for which Ralf should be punnished - it's for
failing to gauge his surroundings and driving within the limits they
offered.

So I'm not allowed to discuss it here? I've been net-copped by a
spotty yoof!
