    oh yeah, my point is sqaurely aimed at Silver as he believes FR3.5 creates the cleanest and safest drivers. This just showed that these incidents happen in ANY formula.

    Took you long enough though didn't it? Apart from this you had no leg to stand on lol!

    Apart from (1) driver in FR3.5 in 1 race, somehow justifies the comparison of the 3-4 moronic graduates of the GP2 drivers that think they still play crash bandicoot in F1? Yeah ok mate whatever lol! That really shows us something...

    Still think Frijns has a lot of ground to make up with the likes of the Lewis, Grosjean and Maldonado. If you give the guy a handicap of 10+ crashes he might get close in 6-7 years...

    This is what Tech 1 (Bianchi's team) had to say:

    “Concerning the way in which the outcome of the battle for the title was decided, Robin Frijns did not exactly cover himself in glory from a sporting point of view. By looking at the data acquisition we realized that he braked twenty meters later than on the previous lap, and that he was trying to go through the corner in fifth gear when all the others were taking it in third or fourth. So there is little doubt as to what his intentions were! For this type of manoeuvre Michael Schumacher had all his points cancelled in Formula 1 in 1997. I think that the World Series by Renault authorities should be much more severe in the future about behavior of this type by young drivers. In Formula Renault 2.0 Alps the title was also decided by a collision, and I’m not even talking about the mind-boggling action that we all saw in the first race of the Eurocup Mégane Trophy when a tail-ender deliberately cut a chicane to go and harpoon the leader!”

    Innocent mistake, or did he do a Schuey and get it right, or wrong, or whichever way you want to see it!

    It's a bit... over-optimistic.
