LRGP – Vitaly Petrov – “I apologised to Michael, it was absolutely my fault”

From the archive. Prices, availability and references describe the original publication date.

Some drivers will do anything to pin the blame on someone else, but not Vitaly, who’s held his hands up and admitted he made a mistake when he hit Michael Schumacher during the race yesterday in Korea.

Give us your verdict on the race?
Vitaly Petrov: I tried to defend my position from Fernando but I was in the braking zone on the dirty side of the track which meant I locked my wheels and hit Michael. I was focused on my battle with Fernando as there was potential for me to be ahead of him. We both braked too late as he missed the corner too. I apologised to Michael, it was not his fault, it was absolutely my fault – once my wheels were locked there was nothing I could do about it.
