Luckily I didn't race last night cause I had my daughter and my grandson at dinner Wink Anyway I don't like to be called idiot in a public forum and I think neither the other guys that had the fault to race you.
Shumy was penalized for his bad move on Barrichello at Hungarian GP and you'd better think on your habit to move over to close abruptly the door, see Rouen and Zeltweg, not the best gentleman driving if you're claiming for that IMO.
Ciao
sure you are right in calling me inpolite by using the word idiot , but guess racers do know how to handle that ...
but for sure you have to admit , it again wasnt my driving style puts me outa race totally ..
( btw . zero incidents last season I did , so my driving style couldnt be as much bad .. )

Lap 2 – The “90” – Nicky Ickx and Evil Clive
Tim Muttram, Nicky Ickx and Evil Clive are line astern around the “90”. Tim runs wide and puts two wheels on the grass kicking up plenty of dust. Nicky holds his line but doesn’t accelerate as hard as normal to allow himself some room to manoeuvre should Tim loose control. Tim manages to get back on the tarmac without spinning but Nicky’s loss of momentum allows Clive to close up. Nicky is on the normal racing line but Clive is on the edge of the track and has to move right as the road narrows on the exit of the “90”. Clive’s nose makes contact with Nicky’s nearside rear and they both spin out. Unfortunately Nicky hits a post and his car looses a wheel putting him out of the race. Clive manages to continue.
This was only lap 2 of a very long 42 lap race so there was no need for rash moves. The power disadvantage of the Cooper meant that Clive had to stay as close as he could to the cars in front in order gain the maximum advantage from any slip stream effect. Although Clive wasn’t trying to overtake he was trying to stay very close. It is the following car’s responsibility to keep a safe distance and not to move over when there is any degree of overlap. Notwithstanding the fact that he was running out of road, Clive moved over too early so he must shoulder the responsibility for this incident.
· EvilClive (65 evilclive) — penalty — Simple Side-by-Side contact — 1 place lost
as my English isn’t that good : what the meaning of `degree of overlap. ‘ ?
in german language direct translation would express that a single part of the car was in front , that’s why overlapped situation is established ….
