British Grand Prix 2014, Silverstone - Race 9/19

Be Massa-
Giving it the beans
See a spinning Ferrari crossing your path
Think > "If I hit that head on it will travel up my car and take my face off"
Think > "If that car hits the barrier while spinning that fast someone will die"
Full right lock
Hit brakes
Back the car into the spinning car
Stop car from spinning
Save my own face
BECOME A HERO!
 
If Kimi had slowed down when he left the track he wouldn't have launched his car rejoining, drivers are that used to perfect runoffs that they no longer slow down upon leaving the track. Bring back gravel traps.
 
The more you see the replay actually, Massa had the front of the car aimed well away from Kimi's car, without the rear lock up he'd have missed the car and simply driven around it fine. The lock up, not quite sure why it happened, ended his race.
 
Probably a stupid question since the car is written off, but does Ferrari not have any recorded onboard footage saved of Kimi going off and back on track up and till the crash?
