Chris (and this comes from a Ferrari fan!) I grant you, it was a little bit 50/50, although more like 65/35 on Adrian's side, you have to admit that the incident had more to do with KR's attitude than a racing incident!
He "expected" a more "inferior" team to yield to his RED Superiority and give him the corner, in spite of the fact that the said "inferior" team driver out-qualiffied him (in spite of being heavier), was faster than him all weekend, HAD THE INSIDE LINE and by the time they arrived at the corner was level with KR's car. Not to mention that KR being (allegedly) a more experienced and intelligent driver should have anticipated the fact that Sutil was just out of pits with cold-ish tyres and therefore won't be able to brake as effectively as HE could!
As I said, even as a Ferrari fan and a race driver, I can't find many excuses for KR's total disregard to anything other than himself! As it happens he certainly spoiled a "driver of the day" performance! Methinks that were he to put-in a transfer request he will find unanimous approval with no objections! Can't Mikka Hakinnen give him a ride somewhere else? Anywhere really.
IMHO of course!
