There has been good example over the years of good and fair blocking in F1:
Senna vs. Mansell - Monaco 1992
Schumi vs. Hill - Spa 1994
Alonso vs. Schumi - Imola 2005
Schumi vs Alonso - Imola 2006
That's all part of racing. Last year Bourdais complained about Doornbos' driving in a CCWS race in Canada and quite rightly Sea-bass was booed by the patriotic crowd.The world according to Taki Inoue: https://mobile.twitter.com/takiinoue/st ... 7249326080

I don't think that this is even a case of blocking per se. You'd normally expect drivers to move to the inside of a corner on the racing line. I doubt whether DC even deviated more than about 3 feet from that. Button stuck his nose in where it didn't belong and looked stupid as a result.
Jehova Jehova Jehova... hmm. SempriniThe Old Republic was a stupidly run organisation which deserved to be taken over. All Hail Palpatine!

Both have some fault IMO thus it makes it just another racing incident.
Coulthard closed the door too late(and after from what it seemed like he was opening the door), while Button was way too optimistic and even locked the wheels... block or no blocking from Coulthard, he wasn't going to make it through that corner...Fan of Timo Glock and proud of it! :champion: 3 podiums, new start as a Virgin :p

Button lost control of his car (i.e. back end stepping out and wheels locking) because DC gave him an opportunity and then, after noticing that Button could make it, took it away.
Optimistic move by Button and an idiotic block by DC.J

I think that Jenson is pretty much blameless in this situation. The normal line for that corner is slightly wider than the one DC was taking, leading me to believe that he saw Button originally, panicked when he saw Jenson going for it, then moved across in a desperate attempt to block.
Jenson was braking as if to overtake, so he could do nothing when the Red Bull came across him. He had no chance to go wide to avoid him, so tried to cut the corner and it turned into a crash.
Jenson said on the TV that he did a fastest lap/sector time just before he caught Coulthard, so maybe he came up on DC so quickly that DC didn't know he was there?
