I just read on the formula1.com website that the marussia drivers blamed each other for the incident. In what $#@!ing world is chilton? Bianchi was ahead of him going into the turn and left him room on the inside from what I remember. Holy $#@!


Tom Chilton posted a photo of it on Twitter saying "Nice drift mate". I thought that was pretty funny.

How was that Bianchi's fault?

Bianchi should not have accelerated after Chilton slid in sideways and interlocked wheels with him, completely Bianchi's fault.

As far as Massa and Perez, shouldn't the lead driver have the right to drift and the tailing driver not have the right to turn in on the lead driver? In other words, shouldn't the passing driver have to account for possible drifting of the lead driver and not turn into that space? What do the rules actually say about this?

You really think if the rules aren't "clear" on cutting a chicane they'll have the level of detail you're insinuating here? :wink:

Just took these photos from my phone so pardon the lack of quality.

In the first one, look how much room chilton has

Chilton is sliding, bianchi is on the outside

In this third picture they haven't collided yet, which is important because look how much room chilton had all the way through the turn. He lost control and hit bianchi. Idk how the $#@! that's bianchi's fault in any way

Fair enough. It's situational then, but do they have access to certain camera angles and not others?

Hey Geet, how do you like Direct TV?


I LOVE DIRECTV!!! For real the service is awesome. In my area the main two providers are directv and cox. There's also century link but I've only met like two people in my life that have them :P Directv is cheaper than cox over the course of the two year contract. Directv has six channel packages. It goes from first being the cheapest and least amount of channels to the sixth being the most expensive with the most channels. I have the fourth one (Xtra) since that's the cheapest one that has NBCSN, which I got specifically for Formula 1!! :D For that package the first year monthly payments are cheaper than cox but in the second year they are more, but over the two years it still adds up to less than cox and I like the whole set up way better than cox anyway. I got the genie box with my contract so I can record like five different things at once. I've had my DVR loaded up pretty good and never had it more than 65% full so there's plenty of room for stuff. Oh, and my service is for two TVs. One in my room and the one in my living room.

I've also only had one issue with satellite reception for about two hours once during a wicked storm. I also had a DVR glitch with recording an NFL sunday ticket game and they sent me a whole new box when I called them about it. The customer service is :boobies::D I also just took a $50 rebate offer for subscribing to showtime for three months at $13.99/month. After the three months I mail in the three bills with the showtime service and they send me a $50 visa card, so I make like $6 off the deal :rofl:
