Is it me or did montoya drive the better race line here?

Hamiltons fault!

[enisylo]

@66Morti66 Yes, exactly. You'd think they would learn to say "well, it's both of their fault, really. So either punish both, or better just leave them alone and let it ride" they always seem to have to blame one of the people involved, not equality of blame (which is usually the most accurate way of describing a racing incident such as this) but singular blame.

@66Morti66 yeah, a ridiculous penalty, none should have been given at all to anyone. As Schumacher's car veered suddenly into Montoya (who at the time was holding his steering in the one position with no sudden movements), I wouldn't apportion blame to the Columbian. However, although it looks like Schumacher suddenly veered into him, I have seen the incident from on-board the Ferrari, and Schumacher's didnt correct or anything. Its strange

I wouldn't say it was Schumacher fault here -> Montoya left him the choice, either let me pass you or crash into me, and Schumacher wouldn't play that game. the track narrows when entering the corner, not much space schumacher could have used to avoid the crash. the penalty is ridicolous anyway, i'd say its a normal racing incident. reminds me alot of todays judging..

Crazy penalties like that simply make strolngly evident the clear purpose to stop Montoya who was clearly showing to be very much better that Schumacher.

[stefanorunnertube]

@mgarofano that fucking williams was damn fast.

[mgarofano]

So crazy. Juan Montoya has clearly showed to be the best talented driver during that period and they tryed to stop him in every cheating way.
