F1Rogues Crash Investigation: Ralf Schumacher, Albert Park 2001

From this shot is is possible to see how much momentum that Ralf was carrying into the accident. But Ralf resolutely blamed Barrichello.

"I had a great start and had already passed Michael and wanted to pass Barrichello, so I tried to dive into the inside but he closed the door. I then went to the outside and he closed again. I made my last attempt going to the inside and he closed the door and braked at the same time. I cannot complain about the braking, as we were going into the first corner, even if I thought it was a bit too early, but he definitely changed direction twice and we are only allowed to do it once," Ralf said.
