Alonso slowed down dramatically about 100m before the normal
braking point. How was that Coulthards fault? Unless there
was a mechanical problem, this was the dirtiest move in F1
in a long long time.

A common tactic in karting.

If Alonso did it on purpose, wouldn't the most likely
outcome be a rear-ender (which Alonso must've known??)

Was it really 100m? I'd have guessed 10-20m, but didn't
pay much attention.

For some stupid reason, StarSports didn't focus on the
Alonso/Coulthard battle in the last few laps. Annoying,
really, since it was the only thing left to decide in
the race.

The only camera view they showed was Coulthard's in-car
view, and at that speed, I couldn't judge the forward
distance. But it was clear that Alonso moved back to
the right before the corner, a second and illegal move
(in response to Gunther).

Okay, I missed some laps at the end (my neighbor knocked)
and I got back in time to see only the leaders finish.
I'll wait for the rebroadcast during the week. In the
post-race highlights, they only showed the in-car view.
(I get the Chinese language feed; the bar down my street
gets the English or Aussie feed. Go figure.)

But still, I would prefer they focus on the action going
on. Maybe they're afraid of missing something, like what
happened to Mika Hakkinen at Catalunya.
