The only way he is involved is the fact that he is driving next to Vettel, but if you see the replay from Vettel's car, you can see that Vettel simply drives way too hard in that corner, right into Rosberg's rear. Max was in no way involved, he has to make a corner just like the other drivers.

Thankfully, no more whining from Grosjean in this race. The guy's got such an entitled attitude even for an F1 driver.

Yeah, I think so too. Just unlucky, it's hard to fault him there for taking the inside track on the corner.
Max did kind of push him though. Not that he did anything wrong, it's just that there were too many cars on that turn.

Verstappen was asking the team to help him overtake Ricciardo. Because he wants to win the race and only he will be able to do that.
Something like this.

Keep it together ROS...
Sunhi posted the replay, it's pretty clear he saw Vettel and stopped turning in.

TBH the onboard from Vettel shows Rosberg coming across more clearly, so it looks like a combination of factors.
But the end result was satisfactory

Lets be clear, it was a racing incident, just any old 1st corner incident. It was Vettel's fault, but shit happens. If they give a penalty for this, they're insane.

Someone needs to paste taht mechanic's face over Marchione, Arrivabene and Jock Clear lol
They didn't touch indeed, it only looked that way because Max had to take a bigger turn all of a sudden after the crash.

Verstappen is a good position now. Already did a pit stop and is in 4th. Maybe he will teach Vettel how to suicide dive and hit Hamilton like Vettel did.

Ugh, he's probably wondering why Kimi's been signed again when he's been doing the drive of a champion every weekend.
Maybe he's managing his tires. The gap is good enough to be in 1st after the pit-stops.

As much as I'd like to put all the blame on Ferrari, it's been a really shit year for and from Vettel.

But do you still think he caused the turn one crash?

Rosberg is already on 08th. Maybe he manage ton finish on the top 3.
Well, car is also quite disastrous - looks like almost zero development mid-season for Haas, minus engine upgrades. They had quite competitive car in the beginning due to Ferrari exploit, but they went backwards after first third...

I'd at least expect that from him, to be honest.

He has to get as many points as possible if he wants to keep in the WDC battle

Ericsson is on 07th? Is this correct? If so I think hat this the best position I saw him on.
He should be in first place when Hamilton stops then.
Lovely Malaysian heat.

Maybe, LOL! Or maybe he will get Nico so frustrated he will force another professional foul from him like Austria and Germany.
