He had plenty of space to make that turn.
You actually see him take the steering back to center at least once. If you understeer round a corner you are on full lock the whole time. He was f**king at it.

why does Michael do this too himself.. he is truly a great driver..but he just can't help himself..

I loved the press conference.. the way the word "congratulations" was delivered by the presenter to MS..before handing over to Alonso was done with such a perfect tone..

Only if you don't know how to drive.

I dunno - it was a wierd incident, but I can't believe it was totally intentional, but it did look suspiscious how he didn't seem to try to get going again. Be as cynical as you like, but I don't think Michael Schumacher is dumb enough to try to cheat so blatantly whilst on live TV. Flexi wings yes, "racing incidents" maybe, but not this.

I don't expect anything will come of the protests, but I wonder if Alonso, Fisi and a few others will be penalised for not slowing for yellow flags.

Let's face it, the Japs are shit at racing. A Jap driver has NEVER won a Grand Prix, and it's a trend that doesn't look like being reversed anytime soon.

They're fine at making engines, but creating a race winning F1 team jsut seems to be beyond them.

Honda Racing could do with having Rosberg - Button has had too many opportunities - tired of supporting him now

What's a little sad is that with all the Button hyping ITV do, they largely ignored how well David Coulthard did today. 4th after Q2, and starting 8th with a heavy fuel load.

IMHO, DCs won most of the points that he'll win in F1 - he's too old to take too many risks IMHO.

Under what circumstances during understeer when trying to turn right, would you put the steering to the center when you are already slipping offline?

He's already won a championship by doing this sort of thing, so it's nothing new.
