2015 Monaco Grand Prix Thread

Not sure if this has been posted, yet. Perhaps it has already been discussed, but check out the video from Max crashing into RoGro. I can't see how anybody could really fault Max for this. I seems clear to me that the Lotus pulls hard to the right and goes from the gas. I think it was a typical veteran "welcome to the big leagues" statement.

I am not sure if this video shows anything new. The clip was played ad nauseam over and over on TV during the yellow flag.

Also, I don't see any RoGros movements to the right. It seems like he was going to take a usual race line through the corner. When the contact happened he was certainly moving to the left. Some people place the blame on RoGro for braking early, but to me diving like that looked like an act of desperation by Verstappen who is feeling pressure to perform from within the team. Kvyat was all jolted in the race too. I suspect Red Bull's Dr Helmut Marko had a "motivational" conversation with both of them before Monaco.
