So endless complications.
So I think Webber's...
This level of paranoia was both a strength and a weakness at the same time.
Yeah, the consequences could have been two cars out and...
Yeah, then Webber would have won, which would have been a complete irony.
Then would Webber have won the championship?
Well, yeah, it would have changed things.
So, yeah, but I think this was a classic thing that happens in Formula One of decisions are made on the hoof because it's a motor race.
You can't predict things happening.
And communication...
From the pit wall, they may feel that it's very crystal clear in terms of what the instructions are, but the drivers aren't quite aware of what's happening.
And from Lewis's perspective, his understanding was that the instructions, they both say fuel, button doesn't attack.
So he's got that clear instruction, then button attacks him.
Therefore, he must have disobeyed team orders.
This is an outrage.
So you're seeing, and I think it's a phenomenon known as Hanlon's razor, where you put...
malice towards deliberate mistakes so there was a mistake from the pit wall in not making things crystal clear to both drivers about the situation but from Lewis's perspective you can understand why he felt like this afterwards but these are flashpoints that happen all the time so I think this must be very difficult when you're a driver
You can only get your perception of what you see from the race, your impression from the pit wall.
Then when you see your teammate attack, you'll do something strange.
What's going on here?
