You have a somewhat biased memory when it comes to a certain 7 times world champion
.
DC, a lap or two down, out on the track with a car that shouldnt be out there (had already been in the pits trying to get it sorted) and he decides to brake test Schumacher on a wet straight at a three figure speed, not the best thing to do.
I love the way that people always drag up the "7 times would champion" argument..so what? That makes him right all the while?
At that point - any car that could be driven was in the hunt for points - people were going off the track left right and centre *remember Brazil 2003?*
I also seem to remember that at that point I was working with Ferrari.
I've worked with 7 different F1 teams...Not saying which were better to be with than others, but some of the teams were very different to how they are portrayed.
You couldn't see sod all out on track. That was a racing incident. DC was off the racing line as his car was effctively knackered. It's was a very sick car - no where near the speed it should have been. The biggest problem was his collision with Wurz *someone who really deserves a race drive* after DC spun and pretty much started that 14 car pile up...
Schumacher assumed that he would be on the racing line - which he wasn't. He assumed that he would be let through on the next straight..
DC assumed that Schumacher would stick to the racing line - he didn't.
Sadly the only person who seemed to be angry that it happend was Schumacher - he was obsessed that DC had tried to kill him. Most of the team just accepted it.
Some events have a definate bad guy - most are just racing incidents though.
Although the pile up at the beginning of that race was amazing..teams were grabbing anything they could. Didn't matter if it was from their car or not.
Being honest I don't know why I bother to carry this on anymore. The team I love is no longer in F1, all the drivers I support are no longer in F1 either *couple of them are no longer alive*
Someone else can do the next one of these..
