Yet another thing that would be fucking illegal in F1 now, because you're only allowed to make one move on the straight.

[gojenson]

@kokochan7 for passing or defending? also, if this move happened this past weekend, no one would jizz in their pants since DRS and KERS are in use now.

Yeh but did piquet go over to america and start winning in indy car? Which is suprisingly difficult to do.

[gojenson]

yes

[SPR1NTMAN]

Don't forget Mansell was on fresh rubber whilst Piquet was still on the tyres he started on!

@ian7796 in 1991-1992 Williams was obviously favouring Mansell

[arena2101]

@kokochan7- No, you are only allowed to make one blocking move.

@luketees Learn about F1 before making a fool of yourself. Silly chav.

@MissEgasMoniz Douche

Yawn.....a rather dull simple pass. Of course the car in back has the slip stream advantage esp. on a fast straight. Piquet 3 WDC's Mansell 1. Enuff said!

@kokochan7 wrong you can fient all you like its the defender that can only move once to block

mansell sold him a dummy perfectly and watch what mansell does when piquet tries to squeeze him after. NOTHING lol mansell had to use a special seat to fit his balls in lol

[cirian75]

I remember that one, mansell held the turbo boost overtake button down for ages and just hoped it would not splode.

@kokochan7 I think the excuse they gave for giving the stop and go to Schumacher was that he wouldn't be punished enough by a drive-through because the redesigned pits at Silverstone are designed to have the drivers in the pits for as little time as possible. For the incident, caused partly by them allowing the DRS when the track was damp, I think they should've given a drive-through, it wasn't that bad.

@kokochan7

The move would be legal today, because the "one move" rules only applies to the driver defending. The one attempting a pass can do what ever he wants

[kokochan7]

@gojenson Hmmm I think you're right. I think the rule is about defending. Still I can see the douchebags at race control calling it an "unsafe movement" especially after doing shit like giving MSC a 10 second stop-go for spinning KOB. I agree he "caused a collision" but it should have been a drive-through at worst. Carved the heart out of his race.
