Vettel punked himself on this one. Though I don't think he really did anything that deserved penalty by the regs, the severe chop had Max worrying about him so much that he didn't pay much attention to Kimi until it was too late. In the end I'd say racing incident, but not a smart move when it comes to title points. And for once, I can't say I can reasonably think Max could have done anything much better. Kimi came alongside so quick he had very little time to react when the reds starting making that RB sandwich.
Kimi, Alonso, and the others that had to avoid the chaos and might have lost track position were the ones that paid a price along with Vettel and Max. Absolute blinder of a start by Kimi, I think he may have actually beaten Seb to the first turn.
Considering the track and the lack of passing opportunity, at least some decent on track action after the first turn crappola. Shame for Seb, he is a beast at this track and had no reason to toss away points after the poor qually by Lewis.
I'd be pretty certain that, despite his great start last weekend, Kimi would probably have spun off somewhere had Vettel not had his brainfart. He certainly wouldn't have won.
Mind you, that's no surprise, considering he's, embarrassingly, the only driver in the top 3 teams to not have won a race in years.
Agreed. It may seem as though I may have an axe to grind with Kimi at times but that's not the case. I just think that after 4 years without a victory in the cars he has had and, especially given the relative successes of his teammates throughout, it's about time people stopped considering him as a top tier driver. He's not! Maybe back in the day he was but, now, he certainly isn't.
Maybe his sabbatical from F1 when he went rallying has harmed his F1 career
Vettel obviously does not see him as a threat ,that is why he wants him signed up for another year along side him
And maybe Raikkonen knows he is second driver ,and enjoys the money he gets and the ice Cream in Ferrari,s fridge
:stareup: I'm sure Kimi likes the money, but it doesn't affect his driving performance. He has lost a little. It is amazing that he has hung in as long as he has. As for the ice cream, well Ferrari have a fridge full of Gelato Paradiso, and that is a big bonus :D
