Hoe het accident Raik-Liuzzi echt tot stand kwam.
According to an official McLaren statement after the race, Raikkonen said: "I could do nothing to avoid the collision with Liuzzi. He really slowed down on the racing line and there was just nowhere to go."
This was not what happened.
When Raikkonen and Liuzzi - old mates from karting days - discussed the matter Kimi confessed that he had been doing other things at that moment as he was about to allow de la Rosa to overtake him because Pedro was on a three-stop race. Kimi was looking his mirrors and did not notice the Toro Rosso until he getting an aerial view of it. De la Rosa had a very lucky escape as wreckage was going everywhere. And Liuzzi was pretty unhappy.
