Hardly. He got off line behind Massa and the combination of low downforce (slipstream) and wet track punted him off.
Nice to see Lewis getting his head down and racing. All the whiny sound bites from him over the past week have been tiring. He may not be the most sparkling personality, but boy can he race.
Nobody would gamble on dry tires in these conditions. The track was half-wet at the start. They'll probably save the hard tires till the end, thanks to those cold conditions, too.
From what I saw, Schumi ran into the rear end of Koboyashi![]()
