Z........gets the popcorn.
You got pwned!
etc.
Thank you Artist, a good and plausible run-through of events. Obviously, the key points are still open to interpretation, but I think you probably have it as close as we're going to get. This is my opinion, and I don't mind if some of you disagree.As far as I can tell, the timeline goes something like this...
I was just trying to get at the fact that in the FOM video events are compressed in such a way that (intentionally or not), the radio message and the crash are directly linked as cause and effect. Stirring up controversy is an easy way to gain attention, so if it was intentional they've done a good job. Whether they should have or not is a different question.The collision was on the out-lap after the pits and so you say the message was on the in-lap before the pits. I don't see how this changes anything in the slightest.
ExtremeNinja....
I don't think anyone (Other than a very few conspiracy theorists) would suggest that the collision was either a) Massa's fault, or b) malicious by Massa. As such, this arguement is moot!
certainly suggest that you relate the collision to the message from Smedley. If this is not what you mean, then I apologise!The collision was on the out-lap after the pits and so you say the message was on the in-lap before the pits. I don't see how this changes anything in the slightest.
Extreme Ninja, your post here:

... Mind you'd think that he'd have been very careful after his FIFTY farce at Hockenheim last year!I know one thing "for sure".
Rob Smedley will be very careful in future what he says over the radio
Sorry for going off topic, but why is it called the 'fifty farce' now?
Fernando is faster THAN you....
That's why,
It doesn't matter if VP was told to ruin Alonso's race, the fact is he did ruin Alonso's race.
VP was trying to, as that is what every driver tries to do - ruin every other driver's race in order to win or finish as high as possible.What VP was doing was racing as hard as he could to earn as many points as he could because he had something to prove last year. The fact that Alonso was stuck behind him is bad luck for Alonso. VP was not trying to hold up or ruin Alonso's race, he probably couldn't care who it was behind him, as long as he was in front and earning as many points as possible.
Are you playing Devil's Advocate? I do hope so!The difference is, all other drivers try their damnedest to do their best, and if it harms the race of those around them, that's an added bonus.
Massa seems to have been demoted to race spoiler for Hamilton, to the detriment of his own race.
That was inevitable though as soon as Alonso joined Ferrari.
