I recommend you try reading To kill a mockingbird before you continue about Nelson Piquet Junior and his crash action. I’m disappointed there’s still people out there not “man” enough to even attempt to look at things differently.

When Alonso threatens to spill the beans on Mac, no one seemed to see much wrong with it but I guess that is because Santander is willing to hand over a blank cheque to teams that will hire Alonso – and this from a guy who actually gleefully participated in spying on Ferrari.

But when Piquet does tell, you can only trot out such inanities?

What a pity, your double standards!

I don’t know the drivers personally, but Vettel appeared more downbeat once the likelihood of him finishing in the points became less likely. He appeared to be over-driving or maybe he was losing concentration, which maybe led to his off moment. In comparison to Silverstone this year where his ‘head’ position seemed more focused ahead of his car, but it’s possible he had a seat fitting change.

I think Fisichella seemed almost embarrassed to be slightly slower, as he appeared to be avoiding eye contact with the crowd. He seemed to slow down much earlier into Lesmo2 than the others, maybe he was being cautious or maybe the KERS affects the breaking into the corner, which may take time to get used to. His Ferrari made a strange powering up noise, though this was to a lesser extent from Raikkonen’s Ferrari.

Hamilton appeared to drive through seconda variante much quicker than anyone else all weekend, its possible he arrived at Lesmo 1 too quickly in his brilliant efforts to catch and pass Button. The Italians cheered very loudly when he crashed.

I agree… and I think others do too.

It’s the subtle nuance of this case that rankles. The plotting and planning by several (in some cases well-respected) people who should have known better.

For me, this world isn’t black and white; it’s shades of grey… and some shades are darker than others. Nelson, Flav and Pat’s devil horns are slightly longer than Senna’s.

When I said “I had no problem”… sorry, wrong turn of phrase, as I dislike anyone crashing into anyone “on purpose”. When I saw it at the time, I didn’t think it was “on purpose” – call me naive, but I didn’t. [Mind you, I didn't think Piquet's crash was "on purpose" either; I thought "whoops there goes Nelson again" ]

For me, it’s the rationale behind the crash; one person making that kind of decision (alone), is not right, but I can understand\empathise with that spur-of-the-moment call (we all make snap-shot judgements, some right, some wrong). I can’t, when people who should know better, plan it.
