That just made the victory so much sweeter imo.

Well done MW.

that is so, but he still didn't deserve it. Yet again fia handing out stupid punishments. Just look at his front tyres sliding autocross the track. Nothing he could do about that. Nothing more than a racing incident.

Are you saying webber was sliding across the track? He suddenly swerved over to his right, aggressively and had been heading that side slowly already, made one covering move then bam.

No, he did not swerve. Watch the in car video. Yes he did move over slightly. As can be seen from a tiny movement in steering wheel. There was no large swerve. This was then combined with a reasonable amount of under-steer. Forcing the front end even further out.

he was on a straight, and how would understeer make the car swerve more? Especially on a straight....

Yeah, I remember a different onboard view. must have been a different incident.

But it's still not an aggressive move. it wasn't a massive steering wheel movement. It is very unlikely webber could see him. But Barrichelo could. It was still a racing incident after watching the replays on the highlights feed.
