at forst sight it seemed like a strange circumstance, andwith the protaganists having some history i wasn't surprised by the thoughts, especially as there was obviously quite a speed differential at the point of impact, and then they decided to only show onebrief replay during the race that only compounded the mystery.

however, to me it looks obvious that Alonso was off line during the previous chicance (presumabley defending his line into turn 1 contriubuted to this) and as a result Lewis got a fantastic run on him out of the chicane.

from that position he should have cruised alongside and executed an easy pass into the next turn, but Alonso started to move accross to cover the line a little (fairly) and Lewis seems not to have reacted, picked up the drive and the draft and cruised into the back wheel.

i'm glad he took responsibility before a witch hunt was taken up against Alonso, although it was not a complete impossibility that a slight lift could have contributed, i'm glad that in this case it wasn't the case.

i was also surprised to read that Lewis said it was his fault for teh start, didn't see about that until this morning, and assumed that as it was such an atrocious get away that there had been some sort of problem, which of course there was, but it was down to Lewis not pressing the right button at the right time - from there on in i thought he looked a little impatient, like the red mist had descended and in his haste he made a further mistake (not unlike the first lap in Brazil last year)

i hope he can improve this trait and channel that agression a little more effectively
