Inexperience takes 2nd Ferrari off the podium

Start of race. Schumi is first. Mansa 2nd, Alonso 4th. 5 lights illuminate and they go off. Alonso starts off fast. Mansa feels pressure. Almost looses his place in the straight. Corner 1, Alonso easily overtakes Mansa. Mansa is frustrated. Mansa tries everything to get ahead of Alonso. Now Mansa would try overtaking maneuver near the turn at the end of long straight. Mansa and Alonso go wheel to wheel. All of sudden Mansa applies brakes. Mansa spins. Alonso survives by fraction of a second. Mansa damages his tyres. Pits. Rear tyre on the ill-fated Ferrari gets jammed. Pit stop takes 44 seconds. Its almost race over for Mansa.

Although I am not denying the excellent driving skills Mansa has.
This incident clearly shows inexperience of Filipe.
