If so, i would consider this a racing incident. This move is done time and time again and it is very rare that the guy going into the inside of the corner is able to brake enough to cut the following car off from doing an "under" move out of the corner.
If you ask me, JB should have put his head down and continued to race hard, instead of whining over the radio: He just hit me.
He pulled some dirty moves on Checo.Form is Temporary, Class is Permanent

Of course button should have come over the radio, he has no knowledge of what is being covered by the tv at that moment, so was supplying information. Had Perez lost more of his front wing or Button suffered a puncture the team needed to know immediately so they could act. There is a vast amount of radio traffic we don't get to hear, but that one was pretty juicy, so was broadcast, but I see no issue with telling the team you've been hit from behind, whether its your teammate or not. You can bet there was futher comments from both drivers and the team that we didn't hear
Sent from North Korea using the dark network"I" before "E" except after "C". Weird.

Both were in the fight, both were equally culpable, and Button should stop being such a little b*tch about it.

Yeah I thought it was a bit rich of Button to complain. I thought both drivers were responsible for the contact as Perez went wide for the undercut and Button appeared to slow in the middle of the corner more so than usual. Maybe he was trying to slow Perez and get the jump? He was entitled to do it but felt it contributed. Running his teammate wide on a different lap was much more dangerous in terms of putting both cars out IMO, something Perez did to Alonso later in the race. I enjoyed the battling overall. I have to say Sergio's demeanour after the race was very mature with no complaints about his team mate. I hope Sergio is as feisty in the coming races too.

Maybe Martin Whitmarsh should tell Perez to just go ahead and win the race, since he seems to be following his boss's instructions to the letter at the moment

Of Course Button didn't answer any of those questions and pretended like the he could not hear Davidson. The only thing Perez did wrong yesterday was to drive Alonso off the road in a move that he himself was the victim of by Button, and one that I thought the FIA had already outlawed. Didn't vettel get a penalty for that in Monza?
3. In conclusion, Button came off realy bad IMO. moaning and complaining when he was the real culprit. If the team had told Button to let Perez go bye. He probably would have taken Hamilton as well. Instead he lost a lot of time behind his slower teammate, trying to defend in a slightly dirty manner.you can't argue with results.

They didn't so JB thinks he did nothing wrong running his race not knowing the bigger picture.The world according to Taki Inoue: https://mobile.twitter.com/takiinoue/st ... 7249326080
