First corner shunt: whose fault??

[Gerard]

Rolling starts maybe, just like in Indycars?

I had posted the thread "David to play by Michael's rules" before the race, and I had predicted that this will end in tears. I watched the replay of the start again last night, and TGF had actually run Fisi off the track, and with two wheels on the grass, had Fisi braked hard, there would have been an almighty prang. TGF had set the rules, TGF stated he intended to play by those rules, and now David has re-affirmed that he knows chrystal clear what the rules are.

Not sure about rolling starts, surely that will just mean the first corner accident happens at a higher speed. Startline shunts are always going to happen, particularly when overtaking is as difficult as it is currently (though not last Sunday) in F1.

I know i'm virtually on my own here but i'm going to have to agree with TGF, without seeing the data from the beneton i would say he was not 100% on the brakes, I would say that TGF over reacted to DC's move(which was illegal!) but i see no reason why the beneton couldn't have avoided hitting TGF
