Surely that's what the 'four wheels off' rule is all about?
That argument is pointless though. If he was at Monaco, would he have even tried that sort of move (and yes, I remember what he did into Tabac during the 2009 GP2 race).

As Bella said, the Button incident was a racing incident. **** happens when you're racing. F1 has become the litigious society where everything is black and white, there is always someone to blame. Penalties never used to be awarded for such a thing. It was also, six of one, half dozen of the other. Button could have backed out, Grosjean could have given him more space.

Unfortunately, Grosjean's reputation precedes him.
