Jenson Blames Coulthard for their collision..
I cant believe Jenson is throwing the blame in Davids direction...
"Button and Coulthard tangled, with the Honda driver blaming his close friend
"When I caught up with DC he was struggling," Button said.
"He moved across for his racing line but it was too late - I was already committing.
"Hitting him in the side was me trying to take avoiding action.
"That's not the first time he has done that. He left it too late and there was nowhere for me to go."

The Coulthard/Massa incident was debatable.. but this one?
IMO I think Jenson needs to watch the footage again before pointing any fingers.The emergence of the new 'Rainmaster' - Mad Max at Interlagos 2016!

This was about the same as with Felipe!
They should tell DC not to sleep while others are racing him, he is clearly way to slow when taking decisions.

Racing incident, though I think blame goes slightly towards JB.
JB made the move just as DC decided to close the door, and JB lost control of the car under braking and took out DC.
Personally I don't have a problem with moving across the braking zone - that's racing, IMHO.The world according to Taki Inoue: https://mobile.twitter.com/takiinoue/st ... 7249326080

JB explained he was committed to the move well before the corner, and DC changed his line slightly when the Honda was already committed. You could tell JB was trying to take avoiding action but to no avail.

DC was the idiot here, he should be given a suspended ban for this idiocy. He changed his line when Button had already taken a line, so there was nothing he could do anymore. Stupid.

It was the same scenario as in Oz, DC is being passed, the other car comes along the RedBull (what a fitting name for a car that constantly runs into others! : ), than DC decides that others have no right for a piece of tarmac and runs into them.

Ioan- Your idol MS suggested Massas move on Coulthard was optimistic when they collided..... this move was even more optimistic in Jensons case.The emergence of the new 'Rainmaster' - Mad Max at Interlagos 2016!

TBH i dont see how either Button or DC could blame each other for the incident, i just see it as a racing accident, Button looke dlike he tried to brake late, lost control of the rear slightly and DC didnt know he was coming in that hot.
