So it may have fed into the race.

Exactly.

So it creates that situation where the cars are the wrong way around.

And because Red Bull didn't have the advantage it had, say, at Barcelona, where it was just far and away quicker.

Here it was a bit quicker, but McLaren was also then stronger relatively in the race compared to qualifying.

So, yes, I mean, in terms of what went on...

I think it's very clear if you watch the footage of the incident.

Vettel's coming.

Webber leaves him enough space.

There's a point where Webber moves left a little bit, but he stops.

And then Vettel does this thing that he did have in him where he's trying to move back across when there's a car there.

And it's pretty pronounced how much he moves over.

So just purely in terms of the mechanics and the physics of the accident, you could argue Weber against his teammate shouldn't have defended as much or whatever.

But if Vettel doesn't make that misjudgment, that doesn't happen.

And I think that's a pretty uncontroversial reading of the pure mechanics of the incident on track.

It starts to get complicated when all the other stuff's thrown in.

He wasn't ahead.

He wouldn't have hit.

He pulled across the front of him.

F1 did a really good video of all the angles.
