I thought the caterham was down and dirty. Knocked one off the track and tried to knock him off. I'd never do that.

Very entertaining video, the Caterham was certainly dirty but then as a racing driver it would never be his fault, he would just say that he was defending his lead.

The Radical certainly looked very twitchy judging by the amount of steering input the driver had to make.

The Caterham driver was pretty aggressive, but this was a race, not a track day.

Not sure I'd want to fall out with her ;D

Update:  Turns out the Catterham driver was in fact a guy called Julian Sage.....quite successfull in Caterham club racing.

The interviewer should have gone to Specsavers......or he's on drugs!!! ;D ;D

Ah, I could have sworn they both said 'She' and must I have misheard Julian Sage for Jillian Sage.

Didnt really help much that the guy was talking though his helmet ::)

Yes your right, the interviewer definitely did say "she" but I read a few comments on the video and one said that the driver was Julian Sage from Kent and he won "some championship" recently........there was other comments querying his sex.   Cock-up somewhere or not as the case maybe!! :P

Serious? I'm not sure the first was a knock off, the Radical turned in and caught the front wheel. All I'm saying is that it didn't look intentional.

I thought that was good racing. What did the Radical driver want....a free pass to the front!?
