reminds me so much of Jean Alesi in his driving style.

I thought that he was pretty hard done by on both occasions this weekend.

The chicane incident was a racing one and the fact that his left rear wheel caught Jenson's right front sort of indicates that he had gone past.

The overtake of Massa at t4 left him with nowhere else to go. Many cars during the race did the same thing at the same place except that they were not overtaking anyone.

IMO he is now being punished based on past reputation.

..... and yes, he does have the French 'flair' of Alesi. :D :D :D

He is absolutely I agree. Perez is far more of a risk at times and yet he never gets punished.

I think he was slightly to blame for the Button incident but it was something and nothing really. With Massa, Grosjean had nowhere to go - what was he supposed to do, stay on the white line and collide with Massa?
Incidentally, in the MotoGP motorbike racing, Mark Marquez overtook Valentino Rossi at Laguna Seca by going over the kerbs, off the track just missing a grating, back over the kerbs and away he went! Rossi and Marquez laughed about it afterwards and everyone agreed what a great move it was.

I see that Gary Anderson agrees with us three, and he wants to get rid of DRS. :kick: He has gone up in my estimation. :lol: :lol: :lol:

If only he would talk sense about the tyre fiasco he would be a superstar. :-P

I like the supportive avatar Shell. :D
