That Murray Walker moment always makes me laugh.

Seems no-one saw this happen in real time, I wonder what Petrov was so upset about…

@keithcollantine @celeste @lin1876

That was during qualifying, it was clear to be seen on the regular FOM feed. In fact I’m surprised to have seen that quite a few people (not just here) missed it. What happened was fairly innocuous, Hulkenberg just got in the way of Petrov a bit.

Ι understand the pressure and andedralin these drivers have when driving, but where is the respect between them?

We’ve seen drivers do that before (DC on Schumi in France springs immediately to mind), but I’ve only ever seen it in-cockpit, and I don’t think as blatant as that! Haha!

I am torn however – I feel that the picture almost looks like a very clever photoshop image. I may well be wrong, and I hope I am!

They are human after all! Barry Sheenes two fingers to Kenny Roberts is I think the best hand gesture ever in any motorsports.

@ed24f1 I’ve just watched Q1 again and I didn’t notice it, was it definitely then?

Yeah, everyone was joking about it when it happened so I assume everyone knew! I too thought it was in Q1. May have been FP3, however. Things were getting pretty hectic towards the end of the session if I recall correctly.

#

Yes, you might be right – perhaps it was FP3 actually. But it was definitely on Saturday, not in the race. I didn’t watch the Friday sessions so it wasn’t then.
