c21 0 Report post Posted March 12, 2007 I was wondering what the most unbelievable or embarrassing mistakes are over the years. My picks are.... Alesi running out of fuel after repeated pleas from his crew to pit in. (although I cant find a video or remember when it was) Schumi Spa 98 http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=9UctGQwsvwg Kimi Hungary 2006 http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=dYe916iUm8g And this one, dont know when or where, but it makes me chuckle every time http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=yUbVmDrNL5U Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
BradSpeedMan 6 Report post Posted March 12, 2007 Alesi running out of fuel after repeated pleas from his crew to pit in. (although I cant find a video or remember when it was) I remember that, it has to be the worst one... also don't forget Alonso running into a tyre right in the middle of the road, don't know what he was thinking....

Shane2 0 Report post Posted March 14, 2007 In terms of PR c#ckups, Schumi and Barrichello swapping places at Austria 2002 was the biggest mistake In driving terms, there are a few I have picked out: Raikkonen - Nurburgring 2005 flatspot Alonso - Canada 2005 hit the wall Schumacher - China 2005 spinout behind the safety car Hakkinen - Spinout whilst in lead of the 1999 Monza GP Schumacher - Monaco 2006 parking (more of a massively bad judgement than an actual mistake) Schumacher - Accident at Silverstone - locked all 4 brakes, hit a wall and broke his legs The accident at spa where a car got trapped under the barrier (cant remember the exact details) Schumacher - Australia 2006 hitting the wall Alonso 2003 - Hitting the tyre in brazil Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
