What was Perazzini thinking?

by AngelKristensen Sat 16 Jun 2012 - 19:46

I'm really starting to notice a pattern with Ferraris and LMP cars being taken out...

by **Ianmr** Sat 16 Jun 2012 - 19:55

Starting to see a pattern with Antony Davidson.......what a knob.

Did you see something different to me? Clearly the Ferrari driver's fault. Shocked

by AngelKristensen Sat 16 Jun 2012 - 20:19

I'm not arguing who's fault it is, but I find it incredibly knobish the Corse driver completely blamed Davidson...

Also *facepalm* at that restart, Deltawing getting punted off in about 20 seconds.

by Hainesy Sat 16 Jun 2012 - 20:21

Yep, no need for that from the Toyota on the Deltawing.

It was stated though by the commentators that many drivers have complained that the Deltawing is incredibly hard to see in the mirrors. If anything the Toyota thought he was clear because couldn't see him and had no way of knowing. In reality I don't that pack was going to end well regardless...way too bunched up.

For anyone who didn't see this earlier, or forgot about it over the flying Toyota, here's Dumas destroying his front end BY HAND so that he can get the car back to the pits. Brilliant.

He wouldn't of seen the delta wing as the Toyota was beside it on the track and came came from the far left to the far right side of the track. Very stupid move in my opinion. Hopefully the Delta Wing can get going again.

And, that was awesome work by Dumas!

[update] The #7 Toyota is in the garage

by Hainesy Sat 16 Jun 2012 - 20:47

Bit aggressive against the marshall there by Dumas Evil or Very Mad

by nickyf1 Sat 16 Jun 2012 - 20:49

James Hunt thinks otherwise.

by Hainesy Sat 16 Jun 2012 - 21:15

Little upstart egotistical drivers. The marshall's do the job because they love the sport and that's the thanks they get.

The marshalls fully understand that they are in the heat of the most important race of the year.

Dumas wanted to get his car back to the pits to avoid a retirement as quickly as possible. It's understandable.

"Well that was a big one! Lying in a French hospital with a broken back wasn't what I had in mind at this stage in the race..."
