I think both drivers are at fault.
Michael should of been looking (easy to say) and Mark was quicker yes, but Michael would of had the inside line for the next corner.
But I opened the paper today and there is a massive colour photo of Michael, and Webber slamming him.
Micheal probably could have given him room, but he was already committed to the apex when webber came flying to the inside of the corner... They were both going nowhere in the race so it meant nothing in the end anyway.
Schuey couldn't have seen Webber in this case because Webber did a change from outside to inside very quickly (an overtaking manouver), its purpose is to change driving position WITHOUT the driver of the leading vehicle noticing so that he could overtake without encountering defense.
That move was not meant to be noticed by The Schu until Webber was side-by-side. Unfortunately, that turn was so tight that instead of being side-by-side at the exit, they were side-by-side at the apex which means collision.
Usually I would give Webber the benefit of the doubt, but he pulled this same move with the same disastrous results in the Malaysia GP this year. No mercy if someone keeps playing with fire eventhough they have been burnt before.
its just one of those things that happens sometimes... u get impatient/overly keen drivers.. n things lik this is boud to happen... thats motorsport !:P
