Yes.

Team boss Christian Horner said that the drivers were always asked to give each other room in battle.

But in this situation, neither driver did that, which handed a 1-2 to McLaren.

He said both played hardball.

We saw the result and that the drivers had to learn from it and make sure it didn't happen again.

John, I'm still deliberately holding back the moment where this properly blows up.

We'll get to that in a moment.

Looking simply at how the drivers and team boss Christian Horner reacted to it.

At this stage, did it just feel like that classic unfortunate collision between teammates that you probably could at this point just sort it out afterwards if you were Horner?

He spoke to the media, including our very own Ed Straw, who can be seen in the TV footage of a Paddock Media scrum, where Marko said Vettel was already ahead, at least two metres ahead, and there was a corner to the left, so he had to go for the line.

This obviously sounded a lot like Marco was blaming Weber.

And when that was picked up on in the interview he's giving, I think, is it Will Buxton asking the initial questions for TV?

So go and find this interview is well worth a look because he pauses.

And I think he thinks in that moment he goes, ah, like, have I?

There's that brief moment he goes, have I said too much?
