    With the areo kits, the cars don't hug the track as much. Great for speed - made for some nice lap times, but the cars handle differently than last year. Maybe this was just a simple case of Rossi's car sliding a bit more than he intended?

    As even an open wheel newbie would know, "a simple case
    of Rossi's car sliding a bit more than he intended?" was
    due to AR being deliberately and needlessly pinched up
    onto the curb, despite Wickens having plenty of room to
    go wider. According to RW (who admitted what he had done)
    he erroneously thought that by doing so AR would slow down.
    But in doing so, he considerably lessened the probability
    that either he or his direct competitor would win the race.
