A) It may not be a rule violation based on interpretation. So I'm not sure the GP/honor spiel applies.

B) How do you tell something is purposeful? Do you know what that driver is thinking or what the strategy of the team is/was?

I think 06 is a good reference, many fell over without any penalties/yellow cards due to bumper to bumper interaction. Its just the cost of doing business with steep ramps.

As Steve W pointed out they told you to be able to right yourself in the kickoff broadcast. They said to be aware of a high center of gravity.

If the bumps are safe zones all of a sudden I hope the GDC says so clearly and soon. If this is 05 again we should know and be prepared.
