So now u're assuming? F1 cars go on curbs all the time...it's not like they lose total grip and fly off the track. If that was the case we would have seen far more accidents.
He thought he was half a car length ahead which is why he didn't wait till turn 2. It's difficult to know where Massa was exactly and he thought Massa would give in which he didn't.
The point is we won't know for sure. If Alonso took a wider line in turn 1 wouldn't that compromise his run towards the next turn despite being on the inside? He clearly wouldn't have been much ahead if he did take a wider line so how can u be certain he would have taken the place off Massa?
No. I don't expect him to slow down. But i wouldn't expect him to knock Massa either.
Alonso was at fault here. He obviously didn't want to lose too many places. But the initial incident wasn't his fault in the 1st palce which is what we are talking about here.
I think they were racing. But you have to admit Massa could have done better. Alonso was right when he said that the incident could have easily caused both of them to be bundled out.
I agree. And not once did i say Massa was at fault. But alot of u have been quick to accuse Alonso and i just wanted to clear that up.
As long as he got the line for turn 2, Massa cant push him offtrack either. I suppose he would be in a better position to take turn 3 line.
Furthermore, since he already alittle off line, there's no reason trying to go into turn 1 line because if he expects to go into turn 1 line, that would mean massa being push offline. Since he was the one doing the overtaking maneuver, its not right to expect massa to give up his place and allow alonso to get into the racing line just to avoid collision. If massa should, that would means that each time a driver pulls an overtaking move, the car infront must move aside to avoid a collision. Doesn't sounds right, does it.
Again, I don't think its anybody's fault. Both are aggressive drivers and rightfully so.
