Villenueve wasn't on wets. He put on the wets after the spin. Regarding the touch, Zonta's car slid out a bit and into Villenueve's. I'm not saying that makes it Zonta's fault, but it wasn't JV's fault 100% either. Both drivers IMO did what I guess is the instinctive thing - Zonta went for the pass, JV defended (but I didn't see what happened at the turn where you say JV went wide. Did Zonta actually pass and JV attempt to repass?). It's a real shame, because had they not touched they would have been running 4th & 5th, both on slicks.
About the stop-go penalty "after all that whining...". Did the BAR team run to the race stewards and demand a stop-go penalty for Zonta? I don't think so.
You have me at a disadvantage over Koni-gate. I can see BAR withholding a new suspension from a driver who is leaving the team, but the explanation "you didn't ask for them" sounds like pure fiction to me. What or who are you quoting?
