I thought he was going to be equal to Rosberg at Mercedes? Guess Brawn has lost the plot too?

Grosjean moved over till Schumacher made contact with the wall and spun Grosjean out, that was a popular incident which made Grosjean...very unpopular.andrew wrote:Braking is not unheard of in F1 y'know.FerrariFan63 wrote:If Alonso told me the sky was blue I'd have to either ask for a 2nd opinion or go outside and check.andrew wrote: Just denying it doesn't make it true.

So what was Raikkonen meant to do? Levitate, vapourise, hope for a passing spaceship to beam him up?
It was a racing incident in field that got bunched.
So by Andrew's reasoning, should Webber have moved over for Grosjean too??
Anyways... it was a very close call and very slight contact, just unfortunate that it burst the tire. But Kimi should have avoided imminent contact considering he was the one eh... behind?
Only this time, since there are no walls and it involved Lord Alonso, everyone's like 'ok racing incident' which is understandable since he f*cked over himself so there was not much need to care about.

Holy goodness. One must only laugh.

As long as we all know that Button's number two.

When we can mock Perez or Hulkenburg to our content and noone gives a crap.
