Pastor: "I crashed"
Engineer: "Oh, okay"
Pastor: "Sorry"
Nobody seemed too surprised.

In the past drivers where fighting hard yet STILL managed to avoid other drivers. Granted more than 10 years ago but witness Mansell harassing Senna in Monaco 92. The pair of them duelled like crazy with Senna blocking all over the place and weaving in the braking zone on the narrow streets.
Not once though did they touch.
Ahhhh, those were the days... Not once though did they touch.

I would hate to be on a race track in any car, let alone an F1 car with drivers I didn't trust.
It always seemed to be a bonkers Japanese driver who was the one to avoid - times change

I'm sure it was Schumacher and either Hakkinen or Villeneuve racing in Portugal years ago and they were that close the wheels on each others cars were in the gaps between the front and rear wheels (Schumacher's front wheel was in between Villeneuve's front and rear wheels). Not once did they touch and in the interview after the race they said it was because they had the ultimate respect of each other that they could race like that.

In fact you don't need to go back as far as 10 years to see drivers pushing it to the edge and not touching.I would hate to be on a race track in any car, let alone an F1 car with drivers I didn't trust.

Schumacher "pushing" Ruben's into the pit wall. Except of course Schumacher didn't - he just used all the track and right up to the white line to block Rubens. It was Ruben's who took the dive between the outside of the track and the pit wall. All at 180mph.....

That they didn't touch was little short of a miracle. Typical of Schumaker's late period -- unaware, dangerous and arrogant. He blamed Rubens for the incident (presumably because Rubens had the cheek to try to overtake him for 10th place). The "expert" marshall (Blundell?) said that he'd have black flagged Schumaker if there had been time. There's a vid of Button's reaction somewhere on eBay.

I don't recall it quite like that, and I don't have access to youtube at work to check, but from memory Rubens didn't dive between the pitwall and the track, he was committed to an overtake and got pushed further and further over to deter the overtake.Schumacher "pushing" Ruben's into the pit wall.
