Another ex-Formula 1 driver, Gerhard Berger, who drove for both Ferrari and McLaren, has accused Mark Webber of trying to take out his title rivals during the race in Korea.

In an interview with Austrian TV, Berger said: "He took out Rosberg, but it was the wrong one. I think in his mind he would have preferred Alonso or Hamilton." Asked to clarify whether he thinks Webber's move was deliberate, Berger added: "Yes, I think that's very clear."

Errrr what? So lets assume Mark Webber thought rosberg was Alonso / Hamilton. how on earth can you pull off a crash like that deliberately, to take the car out.

Even if it was his intention... it would hand Seb the lead and then the entire backing of red bull favouring 1 driver since its their darling.

Maybe its a case of an publicity is good publicity for Berger...

hmm having read some opinions here, i can see some of your points, im in two minds now ;)


/edit

just re-watched the video, i think Berger and some of you are right. Alonso corrects his 'line' for the next turn after seeing webber come back across so had alonso been going faster / Webber crashed faster / the corner was super high speed. he would have collected him. And with later Vetel's failure that would have been ideal for him. O well.
