That was racing eachother - and it was heated. That track surface there is very unpredictable, you may have the grip for the move, then your car hits a bump. When you are racing another car like that, you aren't in your familiar line, and might find a bigger bump than you expected. On a smoother surface, I do not think there would of been contact like that.

The Porsche did leave the door open for an aggressive move like that, and the Ferrari was aggressive enough to take it.

Now bumping like that earlier in a race - and I'd of had a problem, as the body work not being correct would mess up the aerodynamics for the entire race, affectively killing the team's chances, but last corner like that, in high heat...

I don't see people today ranting at Rene and Guiles for their little bash at the French GP. Same thing, two driver's in the heat of the last race, neither will back down. Although then - man.. you could see the furious French crowd shaking their fists in the air as the Ferrari repassed the Renault...

This is a Porsche forum, so same thing, I expect a lot of us to be biased, and we'd post how the Porsche got past the Ferrari if it had of been the other way around.

All correct. Craig did mention the bumpy track being a factor.
