I'll go as far as say he's lucky he didn't cause a big crash. Let's be honest - as two of the most straight and honest men on the grid, Webber and Kovalainen, showed in Valencia, and Trulli and Kubica had shown in Canada back in 2007, it is possible for big accidents to happen in perfectly normal situations, if the guy behind is faster than the guy in front. If Yamamoto happened to accidentally shut down everything with someone behind him... I don't want to push the note, because I have been probably too critical of Yamamoto already, but let me put it this way: Badoer crashing at 2 mph in parc ferme was funny. Yuji Ide sending Albers rolling down the gravel trap wasn't.

Exactly! The fact is, despite all that, he didnt have a big crash!

He should probably have his Superlicense revoked for that.

How will ever become a decent F1 Reject if someone takes away his superlicence? As Fred Flintstone probably would never had said "Yamadabadoooooo!!!!"

Err...he let the engine revs drop too low at slow speed. Not the same thing as blowing up at 180mph or so (I doubt the HRT can go any faster than that).

Remember, these cars have solid power plants in them, they just have no downforce. So it can probably go really fast and just has issues turning.

Surely having his Superlicence revoked would make him the ultimate F1 Reject?

I reckon Albers has a, huh, more colourful description of Ide in mind.

And the award has gone to the Force. And I have just noticed that I recently misspelled Yuji two posts ago on this thread...
