Rivals
Even if you aren't really a follower of Formula One or racing in general, I suggest you read this. It's mildly amusing, to say the least. *lol*
Formula One drivers Jarno Trulli and Adrian Sutil continued with their heated debate over their accident at the Brazilian Grand Prix, with another fallout during Thursday's press conference in Abu Dhabi.
Trulli, showing photographs of the accident to prove his point, was still angry at his Force India rival, who was baffled to understand why the Italian was "freaking out".
Trulli: I think we're going to discuss it probably tomorrow in the drivers' briefing and in the GPDA briefing. Obviously it was very disappointing to end the race like that, especially on the first lap. Obviously I think I had every reason to be extremely furious. I've got all the evidence to show that I was there, I was next to him, so I think tomorrow we are going to discuss it.
Sutil: I think there's nothing to discuss. It was a quite obvious incident. In the end it was very disappointing for myself, even more, I think, because I was the one who was just driving and he lost control of his car and crashed in my back, so it was not my problem, it was his problem. I don't know why he's freaking out like that, to be honest.
Trulli: *laughing* If you want, I can show you some pictures. I don't know if you're blind but they clearly show you that my front wing is next to your front wing, so...
Sutil: Yeah, but you're trying to overtake me on the outside on the kerbing. There was not a problem...
Trulli: So you mean… you didn't move there…
Sutil: No, you were just not going off the power. The same happened in Barcelona where you lost control again and crashed again into a Force India car. You just have to sometimes also--
Trulli: I just lost--
Sutil: --expect the limits of the car. If there's no way to go, you have to back off, that's how racing is, and I don't know how long you want to learn it.
Trulli: In Barcelona I spun and he hit me because he tapped the kerb, he completely cut the circuit and he didn't slow down, so basically… Anyway, I think it's better--
(Fernando Alonso to Kimi Raikkonen): Shall we go?
Sutil: No, no. Watch the race in Barcelona. I didn't hit you, you hit me. I don't know what's the problem, but maybe your eyes are a problem.
Trulli: I don't have any feeling about him.
Sutil: I don't understand, really, sorry.
Trulli: I was furious because I said 'didn't you see me?' I mean, I was next to him (Sutil) and he kept pushing me going outside until I was obviously on the kerbs. I couldn't believe--
Sutil: --the kerbs, not a problem to be on the kerb, I think. Where's the problem?
Trulli: Ok, no problem, it's OK. As long as we know the rules.
Sutil: I know the rules.
Trulli: Fantastic.
I got quite a kick out of this. I can't remember the last time F1 drivers argued like these two. I must say it's quite hilarious.
