LOl, a new conspiracy and this one doesn't directly involve ferrari

Former F1 driver Gerhard Berger has made some mind-boggling accusations relating to Mark Webber's crash during the Korean Grand Prix.

Webber's Championship hopes took a massive nosedive at the Yeongam circuit on Sunday when he crashed out on lap 18 while second behind team-mate Sebastian Vettel. He took out Mercedes' Nico Rosberg after spinning and crashing into the wall.

The Australian was quick to put his hand up after the race saying "it was totally my fault, I got on the kerb on the exit of Turn 12 and it was a very slow-motion moment off the back of that kerb - it was my mistake and it wasn't my day".

However, Berger believes there is something sinister about the way he collected Rosberg.

"He could have hit the brakes and stopped the car at the wall," the Austrian said on his native Servus TV.

"He took out Rosberg, but it was the wrong one. I think in his mind he would have preferred (Fernando) Alonso or (Lewis) Hamilton."

When asked if he thought Webber took someone intentionally out, Berger answered: "Yes, it's clear. He goes off and it's over. It's so frustrating and a thousand thoughts go through your mind. Either he had a brake problem, but I don't think he did. One has the feeling that you would rather take one with you, take a point off him."

Berger also believes Webber had made the most mistakes from the four Championship contenders.

"Webber certainly made a mistake, which he admitted. If I take the four top drivers, then surely he is the one who has made the most driver errors."

We'll never really know. It looked weird to me that the car slow rolled across the track but I wasn't in the car to know what shape it was in after the shunt. On F1 Fanatic - The Formula 1 Blog the subject has been discussed and dissected ad infinitum. Most seem to think the Red Bull had 2 wheels off the ground (which is theoretically impossible and no brakes left. After Rosberg collected the RB, no one will ever know just how the RB was just before NR took the whole side off.

Sorry, I don't think there were any shenanigans. I'm sure the only thing going through Weber's mind was getting back on track and finishing the race, and he wasn't paying attention to where Rossberg was. Taking out Rossberg didn't help his championship bid, but getting hit certainly hurt it. It's not like he came back on track aiming for Hamilton, Alonso, Vettel, or button. He wasn't out of the race until he hit Rossberg.

Tin Foil Hat time is right. Gerhard is out to lunch on this one.

You have to remember that after Webber hit the wall, his right front suspension was broken - to then lurch across the track, in a controlled manner, with the intention of hitting someone - well, if he did that, I think he should be world champion, because that's some nifty driving.

Yea, his suspension was clearly broken after he hit the wall. To think he was trying to get hit is tin foil hat time.
