Thanks for the link. Yes Alonso clearly late braked into Doorknobs line then while still in control steered outward to push him off. OTOH whats Doornbos passing the world champ on the outside durring practice ? Looks like a pissing match.
Doornbos was already by him, this link only shows Alonso retaking the position. To me it seems FA is totally at fault here and needs to be penalized. Mark
Wow. Is Alonso crazy/stupid or is the car unstabile because it doesn't have it's Tuned Mass Damper anymore???? Seriously, FA needs a NASCAR-style beatdown....
Wow, this video really makes it look like an intentional incident. When I watched it on tv, I gave Alonso the benefit of doubt. I guess all the MS haters on this board will look at this and say no problem. Edit: Just watched it again, this is as bad or worse than MS's Monaco steering "mistoke".
Alonso should be penalized!. They should let him start from pole, but they get to pull two of his spark plug wires. That should give him some quality time to think about his driving behavior
Sorry to say it but it looks like a racing incident to me. Alanso had position on him (Doornbos front wheel was well behind Alonso's) as well as the racing line. The "second turn in" seems to me to be trying to gain control after the contact. Alonso had the run and position on him why did Doornbos try to out brake him on the right?
Alonso shouldn't even waste his time with this Doornbos ass clown. Unbelieveable, hey you think Ferrari will give a discount to Red Bull for the use of their engines, by having Doornbos constantly in Alonso's way?
CLEARLY Alonso had the inside line and was ahead into the corner. I have no idea what you are talking about
I think he had the front wheels far enough ahead when passing Doornbos that you are right but given his history with Doornbos I would have hoped that he would have backed off and steered clear of the controversy. I think he could have avoided it but he didn't and there was contact. That being said I doubt it will be considered anything more than a racing incident, although he should be given a good talking to.
I agree Alonso was clearly ahead. The "extra" hard right to the outer edge seemed unnecessary and done only as a warning to Doornbos. Of course if that is the normal racing line then I am wrong. I hope they show the line that Alonso takes around that corner tomorrow.
very silly move by FA IMO. why is FA just ' haunting ' this guy?? for what particular reason? just let him pass and swallow a bit of pride. he;s just an arrogant clown, like i've always said. FIA should get to the bottom of this. i'd like to see schumi do another 'monaco parking' and see if the FIA does anything about it.
FIXED !! You must be kidding !! Schumacher's "mistoke" was in qualifying where his intentionally cheat was to prevent Alonso or others from getting pole in Monaco, where most front row cars almost often win. The incident with Alonso today was in practice, no harm to anybody. Whether whose at fault here is debatable.
FA is having a meltdown-why he is allowing this guy-a practice day driver-get under his skin is beyond me-maybe he needs to pass somebody to feel good...
