I remember it well. Not the same. Compare the lap the incident happened to the lap before. The cars were positioned similarly at on both laps under braking and VER did not lock up. It was a decision to place the car there and deny racing room along with the bump of the Ferrari on exit.

Again, I watched this type of racing in the 90's and early 2000's. I'm not a fan.
