I can assure you one thing. In Germany, the land of poets and laws, nobody would get away with such an action. Especially if a Mercedes was involved in any racing series, then Mercedes would demand punishment up to the last court. And also enforce. Otherwise Mercedes will cry again and threaten to leave the racing series like a toddler. 😁

Soper's move to get past Cleland as the video opens was very good. Later in the lap, the BMW driver was annoyed at Cleland pushing him wide the previous corner, so just drove him off. Not sure why Soper was so determined to wreck Cleland though. Was there some beef before this race?

To be fair to Soper, he thought he more space than he realised. It was too argessive but Cleland would have done the same thing so idk what he's complaining about.

Not sure what happened in the 1992 season, as I was far too young then.
