Blobslosak, I can see that you are either a through and through Ferrari fan, or despise Lewis. Either way I will take your comments with a pinch of salt! It was me (or I was one of them) that suggested Massa's car was aimed at Lewis - and I was right!!! Guess what? Massa wouldnt have hit Lewis if he was not 'aimed' at him! However I think you are reffering to acusations that Massa deliberatelly aimed his car. Yes I did state (before the second video with Massa's in-car footage) that he may have done it intentionally. The second video changed my opinion, I now do not believe it was deliberate! However, full lock or not - Massa was on the grass requiring him to be on fully lock, and he should not have been there! Simple as!
Cosgrove, driving on the grass is not racing! Driving on the track is! However I do very much agree with the rest of your comments!
Bertie. You are basically you are saying that it is absolutly fine to spin someone around, so long it is unintentional!? Every driver pulled infront of the officials would claim they were 'just being over ambitious!'.
You have answered the question of whether or not it was a 'racing incident' or not yourself by stating 'He would of made it round on most corners without touching Lewis or bumping but the cars aren't designed for grass tracking'.
Intentional or not, he was on the grass!!!! His actions put himself on the grass!!!! Therefore it was his fault!!!! Therefore it deserved a penalty. If it had been the other way around I would have fully expected Lewis to get a penalty!
If penalties were not given to those in the wrong then whats stopping every driver on the grid from punting the driver infront of them off, and fluttering their eyelids at the officials with their tails between their legs saying 'I didn't mean to!'?.
For the record no I have never passed anyone on the grass, nor has anyone ever passed me on the grass! Maybe im lucky in that sense, however if someone did pass me on the grass I would fully expect them to be questioned after the race and given at least a warning! (Or if I passed on the grass for that matter!). I have however been in the wrong before in an overtaking situation, and subsequently paid the price for it!
If I had been in that car I wouldn't have taken to the grass! I'd have followed through the corner and waited for an oppertunity where a viable overtaking opertunity was available. One would have arose given the state of Lewis' tyres! Maybe that underlies my lack of success, but I like to participate in fair racing. I also like watching fair racing, something I feel I am not currently when I am watching the F1.
