@tedthemoose yeah but ul note that, that down change was from 6th to 2nd... skaife commonly did that and use to bang it off the limiter often, its a wonder he didn't over rev more engines lol either way it was a move from no were though.

@racingAU agreed- can you hear skaife's car bouncing off the rev limiter as he's trying to pull the thing up?! just completely got that one wrong, really.

I think then Gardner became a punching bag after his shocking stint with HRT

You always give way to the car with the racing line. Skaife is clearly at fault, because he was behind and off the proper line.

I'd have to disagree. I think Skaife had every right to pull a late move, and got the car to mid corner without an issue. Gardner turned in on Skaife (maybe couldn't see him there) and contact was made. Skaife was half off the track and well along side, so can't really blame him.

I have to agree on you too, skaife came in very offensively and after the in-car shot and gardner spinning, u can see skaife push him off again (in car, you can deffiently see it at the end) he nudges him.

watch it again matre , Im sorry but I disagree , Skaife came way too late on the move only had half a go and then contact...put yourself in Gardners car , he came pulled out of it so lead car will take the corner and then Bamm....not waynes fault I feel...Skaife way to late and over ambitious in this one
