you know, he was looking out the side window, making a 'gesture' i don't actually think he really meant to do it quite like that,
think he wasn't concentrating on racing properly.
have to wonder why he couldn't have driven like that the whole race, he would have easily won

I think he should be banned from a track for life - it isn't stock car racing and that was pure road rage 
"That thing you're thinking - it wont be that."

looking at the slow mo incar the wheel is never aimed at the other driver but the car 'jumps' at him. Maybe the car failed at the rear
just at that point?
I dont know
But even so he should have just ignored him and carried on the race without needing to show him what he thought.
But dont those cars sound nice

What a cock! Maybe it's just me getting old but the drivers of these bloody expensive cars are getting younger and younger (yes, I know that
they need the physical condition, quick thinking & reflexes etc) and the testosterone seems to get the better of them.

Thing is what kind of speed was he doing at that time? By giving the other driver that sign (earlier incidient appears to be a "slight"
error of braking and locking up wheels) all he'd have needed to do to jump 10 foot to the left is twitch with his other hand, I mean how many of
us have nearly hit the curb because they were doing something else (turning the music up or something) and unconciously moved their other hand a
little? Now magnify it

I was also wondering why he seemed to have such pace - until i realised he went over the grass to miss a chicane all just to catch up with the guy and
give him the finger. What a tool!

Hopefully an ex factory driver. You only need to watch the bit from 1.32 to 1.37 to get the whole story.
Stand by by original statement, but needs rewording with stronger language.

I wouldn't say it was his fault, id say he made a racing incident and locked up. There was no need for the retaliation.

I had too watch that like five times to work out what was going on. The real Crime there was his steering wheel was on the wrong side.
In a White Room, With Black Curtains, By the Station.

The retaliation could have been a mistake to be fair - he doesn't seem to be aiming at him, just getting close and things went a tad wrong. The
fury and wanting to catch the guy who knocked you off (and being fast enough to do so) would suggest he should drive like that more often, though it
did look like he was offroading to do it.
The red mist must surely be part of racing like that, just within reason.

i cant think he actually wanted to hit him, he just wasn't concentrating. (the 2nd episode) the first looked like a locked wheel, and WAS a RI
to my eyes.
still he'll be feeling pretty sheepish this morning...
oh and i don't think theres much room for life threatening red mist on track, red mist yeah, but shout about it in the paddock not on the track
whilst not looking where your going.
