As I thought:-
1) ALL the footage shows that at NO time did Felipe make a DELIBERATE turn into the path of Lewis. Indeed, it shows him kaing EVERY attempt to AVOID a collision. The 'deliberacy' claim by Lewis and MANY of you, is seen to be a FARCE!
2) Lewis HAD made a semi successful 'dive' under Felipe BEFORE they arrived at the corner, as I stated previously.
3) Felipe made NO mistake in his driving on entering the corner but was caught out by a WILDLY off line Toyota (don't know who's) that swooped back IN to the first part of the corner at LESS than 'race pace'.... NOT by a mistake of HIS!
4) Felipe made EVERY attempt to avoid Lewis but to remain ALONGSIDE and ONLY alongside him through the corner.
5) Lewis appears to have HOPED that Felipe had 'disappeared' and simply made a 'half hearted' attempt to prevent him from REJOINING the track on the inside of the corner. What WAS going on in Lewis's head thinking that it was POSSIBLE to 'survive' that corner if Felipe returned from the grass ANYWHERE through the corner? Surely as a karter, he'd know that the OUTSIDE man will. 95% of the time, come of WORSE in that sitaution!
But what the HELL! It was a STANDARD racing incident and it was the LEAST controversial of the WHOLE DAY!
Oh..... and your CLAIM not to be suggesting that Felipe did it DELIBERATELY is.... just SLIGHTLY..... undermined by certain previous statements that you made. Here's jut ONE example:
"what I SEE in the VIDEO is a driver putting his car OFF THE CIRCUIT and direct it at the REAR of the car that has just overtaken him"
In case you'd LIKE to forget it, remember, I will be asking you to explain EXACTLY what you COULD have meant by : "direct it at the REAR of the car" if it does NOT include the concept of 'deliberacy within it!!!. Perhaps you'd also like to explain the concept of 'directing by ACCIDENT' which would be the logical alternative.......
However, you just seem to want to forget that I was stating that NEITHER Lewis's brain failure on the first corner or Felipe's lucky escape with Lewis were PUNISHABLE as they were STANDARD RACING INCIDENTS in a race that contain some that were NOT 'racing incidents' but were DELIBERATE CHEATING!
