It wasn't a corner, Webber was trying to overtake what I think was Kobe, they went round the corner together but on one of the straights its actually quite wide and has a curb on the exit of the curb and space down the straight on the other side of the white line. He stayed on the power with Kobe, or put the foot down early after the turn and went four wheels over the white line and over the curb to pass him.
Thing is, Kobe really didn't leave him any room considering Webber I'm fairly sure was almost completely alongside him, however he did leave the track and he finished the overtake move by being off the track and keeping his foot down.
It's a mixed bag really, he did leave the track but Kobe pretty much forced him off, from recollection he certainly didn't leave him space which as Webber was alongside through the corner he definitely should have... probably.
Seems harsh to me, at the start he somewhat pushed Rossberg off and I think Webber was a tad aggressive, didn't he do a bit of a Grosjean and go across the track and basically shove someone out the way or was that someone else.
Meh, its not like he was getting loads of points anyway, who cares.
Massive shame about Hamilton, not least because it seriously hurts his own chances but because it meant yet another place Alonso got back.
One or two DNF's is expected, but if Mclown hadn't screwed up so many pitstops earlier in the season and basically denied Hamilton so many points by now, he could afford the one or two DNF's that are bound to happen. If he was level pegging give or take a few points with ALonso going into this race as both his driving and the car deserved to be, one DNF isn't the end of the world. Throw in all the screw ups and bam, he's all but out of the race.
Of course Alonso could have more DNF's and its still possible just significantly less likely, at least Vettel gained on Alonso to keep the title somewhat interesting.
Schumi, okay a mistake but it looks very much like on the replay it was not a great decision maybe but a LOT of bad luck, much like someone, forget who, hitting that bump out of the tunnel at Monaco just as you brake, seemed like he had a perfect storm of bump, braking timing and safety car lack of temp in tires/brakes all combining. Sure he could he slowed much earlier, didn't really spot the usual massive gain you get when someone brakes later than everyone else(not till the lock up).
Another boring race all told, Kimi was great, boring race where nothing really happens, one safety car hurt them, one helped.
