Vettel is such a dick. Can't be gracious even during the interview by saying the Mercedes' were "Busses just cruising around"
This compounds the fact that he cannot lose.
I hope Alonso creams him at the end of this year.

There's no need for such a rude language :down: so don't let me read it again...Quote:

Monaco GP: Sergio Perez blames Kimi Raikkonen for collision - F1 news - AUTOSPORT.com
What do you guys think about this? Personally, I think that Pérez was at fault - he just dived in from way too far.
Also, do you think that it was appropriate for the FIA to order Button and Alonso to surrender their positions to Pérez? Checo's overtaking manoeuvres on Button and Alonso were a bit over the line IMHO. He just dived into the apex and it was the other driver's decision whether to take the corner and crash into Checo or to cut the chicane and be forced to surrender the position afterwards. They could rightly say that were forced to cut the chicane in order to avoid an accident - the question is whether they were entitled to hang on to their position or not.
Perez at least tried to make this boring "race" a bit interesting. He went too deep into it but I am still more pleased with him than the cruising top 4.
I think it's time Monaco and F1 have a bit of a rethink.
They need to see if they can tweak the track a bit - a couple of easy ones would be removing the bump before Mirabeau to allow people to race side by side and maybe doing something with the last corner to help people get on the power earlier. I know this would cost a few quid in reprofiling the roads and whatever but Monaco is hardly poverty stricken. Besides, Bernie and friends wouldn't lose Monaco for anything so they could always stump up the cost.
Alternatively why not turn it into a non-championship race? The drivers and teams would get the prestige and glamour that comes from winning in Monaco (maybe add in a big cash prize or something) but perhaps we'd see drivers a bit more willing to take a chance rather than sitting back and settling for second.
Sadly though the racing in Monaco nowadays seems to be a bit of a noisy distraction from all the meet and greets that seem to go on all weekend so I won't hold my breath.
Sutil managed to overtake without piling into people.Quote:

Can still be fun, but it ain't the same...Quote:
