What exactly did Trulli say to Sutil?

[A.Wang]

Trulli was fined $10k for the "off-track incident".

Just what did he say to Sutil to warrant such a hit? $10k is a huge fine for calling another driver a "mother-fking " or something along those lines!

Has anyone got any leaks/transcripts? Would be interesting to read...

[Pannywagon]

I don't think it was what he said that was important. The incident was his fault, not Sutil's and he had no business getting in Sutil's face.

The fine was due to how it made the Sport look i believe - very unsporting behaviour

[Project 644]

As the drivers were not "micced" up for the Bernie show, there will be no "transcript". I think the fine was for not being able to control his school playground-like outburst and for grabbing and pushing Sutil.

It made me laugh as he was so clearly in the wrong. They were extremely lucky that it did not end up worse than it did. The last time an accident like that happened, that I can recall, Takuma Sato was getting CPR in the gravel trap in Austria.

Was Schumacher fined went he went postal with Coulthard at Spa?

[TonyHetherington]

I'd love to have been in the steward's office when Trulli walked in.

"I have-a a complaint-a to make-a".

"Sure, what is it?"

"That-a Sutil, he dangeroooos. He nearly hurt-a me".

"You donut, it was your fault, and you looked like an "arse-a" arguing with him".

Doubt it.
Was Senna fined for kicking Irvine?

Anyway, I thought Trulli was fined for not following marshal's instructions to get into a place of safety after his crash.

Neither wonder Toyota are not signing him for next season, i'm surprised they have employed him for so long. The Mrs and I replayed the incident a dozen times on the Sky+ last night and there was no way Sutil was even 1% to blame for that one.

Strange that both commentators missed Alonso's car sitting in the background during the argument.

and they say the art of foreplay is lost on men

I thought it was entertaining to see the rage of drivers after an incident.
I was hoping for punches to be thrown whilst both were still wearing helments !

Same, was good to see drivers showing passion again.

[Jasandjules]

Fair play to Sutil for trying to reason with him and grabbing him back to have a word..... And not smacking him one.

Yes, I was surprised neither commentator noticed Alonso leaving the track, I did, and not to mention Alonso getting into the car in the front seat, whilst Sutil and Trulli were exchanging pleasantries...

[williamp]

I thought Sutil handled it very well. Trulli's behavoiur wasnt what the sport was about, hence the fine. I missed Alonso going out. Why was that?

Bunch of fags, this is rage he he

Trulli swiped Sutil, Sutil was sent across the grass towards the inside of the next corner and rejoined the track going fairly sideways across the racing line.

Alonso was passing at that second and Sutil knocked him off.

IMO Sutil was trying to rejoin faster than he ought, by some margin, but it doesn't seem to have been called by Alonso, Renault, pundits or the stewards so maybe he had the brakes on all the way to the scene of the accident. I'm not convinced though.

Grass was soaking wet, did you see how far Alonso and Hamilton went off down there during practice at slower approach speeds?

Funnily enough I have just been reading through some old Autosports and came across this very story.

Autosport, 16/12/1993

Suzuka Punch Up

Senna still angry after FIA verdict

'FIA president Max 'Spank' Mosley said; "For hitting Eddie Irvine, the competition licence of Ayrton Senna will be withdrawn for two races, but because of the high degree of provocation, this punishment will be suspended for six months"'

No mention of any fine in the Autosport report though.

IIRC Irvine now says that Senna never touched him - In the process of dodging Senna's swing he fell off the back of the table he was sitting on.

[MartG]

I thought Trulli's punishment was for failing to get off the circuit as soon as he got out of the car - instead he ran alongside the track to where Sutil was
