I like it too- it makes the “Multi-21” incident pretty lame hey!!
I think this shows the side of the F1 boys that we actually admire very highly- the ultra competitive side that drove them (Pardon the pun) to be able to be one of the best on the planet.
In the 60’s through to 90’s this went on all the time, but now there are camera’s everywhere so they cant have a slash without someone watching or they are too worried about the PR fallout, hence they are called PR robots these days. I wonder if a ‘paid driver’ is more likley to tow the line after being wronged my a fellow driver as opposed to a Lewis, Seb or Jenson as they are not as fussed pleasing the sponsors ?? :)
