Did Salo cross the white line on purpose?
Mika was in line for massive points that would have brought Toyota ahead of Minardi and gain millions of TV money. I thought that he drove across the white line rather than edge across it slightly. Was this payback time for unfair sacking? He then even drove off the track later on.

He probably gets a bonus too for points, and it would be good for him to do well in his final year. If he really did that on purpose maybe it's a good thing that he's retiring.

Im sure Mika gets a cash bonus for every point he scores....but im sure he would rather have the money than stick 2 fingers up at toyota.

i'm more of the opinion that he thought that never-ending white line must have finished by now..

If you'd heard the way Mika sounded when he was told that he'd been given a penalty then i'd have to say "no" he didn't do it on purpose, but you never know!
