F1:2008 - The commentators’ responsibility re Hamilton and Alonso

During yesterday’s Bahrain Grand Prix, Lewis Hamilton managed to smash his McLaren straight into the back of Fernando Alonso’s Renault whilst accelerating out of a corner.
It’s not the first time two cars have had a coming-together like this, but it is mighty unusual for it to happen which caused a wide range of “reasons” to be put forward in explanation.
From Lewis’s onboard camera it looked like he was simply faster than Alonso and didn’t move to the side in time to overtake, therefore ending up hitting the Renault. Why would he do that though? Who knows, he certainly wouldn’t have done it on purpose so presumably he just misjudged things - in other words he made a mistake.
