I’m sorry, but driving standards this poor would be dangerous on Abu Dhabi or Paul Ricard.

Why keep going at full speed, weaving like a basket, while being without a rear wing?

That’s still not proof that he did it intentionally.

The weaving didn’t appear deliberate. It wasn’t even that strong, it’s just that any weaving, even slight, can confuse the driver behind. He moved right coming out of the tunnel. He then didn’t move left that much I don’t think- it looked to me like he maintained a similar distance between himself and the wall, perhaps moving slightly left due to him having straightened out while the track itself was still turning. He should have been more careful though, especially considering the lack of a rear wing.

I didn’t see any tyres explode.

It’s not really any worse than what Senna did to Schumacher in Spain is it?

@Magnificent Geoffrey well both ‘defending’ drivers were moving about in the braking zone which is the dangerous bit, what’s good for one is good for all surely!

Will Buxton’s really off on one on Twitter now, because Daly has been given a grid penalty…

From the GP3 site:
Stewards penalised the American after he “collided with the rear of another competitor and removed the rear wing. After colliding again with the rear of the same competitor, the race was red flagged.”

Sounds like the penalty is for the previous collision which I haven’t seen, but it’s a dangerous game encouraging defending drivers that they’ll get away with weaving – what next, a penalty for Anthony Davidson, for his crash at Le Mans, when he returns to racing?!

I’ve not seen the initial contact he’s been punished for so can’t comment on that – however one has to wonder how it’s taken them four weeks to decide this.
