That's what Gerhard Berger is saying. In the Korean Grand Prix, Webber crashed into the wall and came back on the track, where he was almost T-boned by Nico Rosberg. If you watch the onboard camera, you will see that Webber didn't have the control of the steering wheel and just couldn't do anything. What is your take ?

You can definitely argue that there is prima facie evidence against Webber. But then the question that needs to be asked is what is the motive? Rosberg is not the one challenging Webber for the Driver's Championship or Redbulls for the Championship as well. So why would Webber want to crash into Rosberg? Cheers! Ram

Well, what Berger originally said is that Webber wanted to crash Alonso or Hamilton, but he took out Rosberg. I also think that Webber didn't do it on purpose.

Berger's argument somehow does not make sense. Maybe he might have wanted to take out Alonso, but Hamilton and then if not the big fish, I will take a small fish!! Doesn't sound right to me!! Cheers! Ram

considering the track was wet and there was no grip at all he had no control and was an accident that he couldnt do anything about

Webber is still in the competition for the title and he has got no reasons to collide with Nico who is not competitive this season. This was a not a good call, he lost his balance completely over the steering. Nobody would purposely crash into other's car.. Reasons, first damaging is own car and he is responsible to answer the club for the crash if he is doing it purposely , also he might get physical fractures, if he is crashing into some other car purposefully !! So, this call is completely nullified and he just crashed because of losing his control and not for personal reasons

I see no reason for that, if Mark wasn't fight for the title anymore it maybe be reasonable, but he still fighting for the title, and right now he is the only RBR driver who needs only of himself to win that championship, so the team ask him to crash and let Vetel win is stupidity. To fake a result the best option would be put him in second and Vetel in First, that would be much more smart.
