Well the circuit didn't move, so wouldnt that make him wrong?

Quipped = joked

Seeing Schuey's spin from the pre-qual lap it was a complete joke. As Crompton pointed out, he deliberately spun the car as he made no attempt to correct the slide at all (did not use any opposite lock).

However I don't think p4 after qualifying was deliberate, although of course we don't know what fuel loads are in the cars either.
