Grand Prix

[Doggy Styles]

He wasn't told to back off, and his off wasn't 30 seconds after he was told to "be careful".

It was the following lap

And note he never lost control of the car.

Those radio messages are broadcast some laps after they occur, so I don't think it was the following lap.

I preferred Coulthard's explanation... in the BBC commentary, he recalled a few years ago when he received a "be careful" message and promptly crashed the car. Not team orders, but his concentration was broken.

That's what I think happened to Perez. He looked very close to the gravel to me and as others have said, he could simply have slowed down. So I'm convinced personally that it was not a manufactured incident.

We're more like "Dumb and Dumber", me and ShaunyFatBoy

Carry on carrying on.

Couldn't have put it better myself to be honest gaylord.

They're actually not broadcast a few laps earlier, they are released by the F1 TV crew, who film the races, as and when they see fit. It adds to the drama. Last year the Felipe Massa/Rob Smedley (aka the Teeside twat) conversation to ruin Hamiltons race was broadcast almost simultaneously to them saying it. As was the infamous 'Nando is faster than you etc', it's to spice up the viewing, the talking about the incident and to keep interest in F1 and, you have to admit, it works.

Otherwise, they send a message out if it's got a bit tedious. Those can be from previous laps.

Don't mistake this for a sport, it's an industry, a really bloody big business, the likes of which man loving ex squaddies and bootneck's can't even attempt to comprehend.
