Vettel went to cover the guy behind like everyone does at pole. This is 100% on Kimi driving into max when he had lots of space on the left

I just saw the start. Yeah you are officially blind. Kimi was next to Max, then Vettel starts to squeeze him and Max hits Kimi. Where did you want him to go? Over the barrier?

 

[Theorry]

Cant wait for Ferrari to blame Ves.

 

[Tempy]

Here we go!

 

[Xando]

He went to cover by completely driving into another car. That is not covering, that is just stupidity.

He should get a penalty for that tbh, boneheaded move.

Nah he covered like everyone else does at pole. Look at every race start of the year and you see the pole guy moving to block his opponent.

If you actually watch the replay you see Kimi moving to the right when he hasn't even passed max yet

I just saw the start. Yeah you are officially blind. Kimi was next to Max, then Vettel starts to squeeze him and Max hits Kimi. Where did you want him to go? Over the barrier?

Come on Kimi has more than enough space and doesn't need to move right

 

[Grug]

After this and his road rage attack I'm all for Hamilton winning the championship. Get fucked Vettel.

Hot takes, get your hot takes!

Watch the webms.

Claiming that Verstappen was pushed into the barrier. Lol.

 

[dakun]

Come on Ric. Get this win

 

[valkyre]

What a completely idiotic accident... Ferrari fucked up royally and they can kiss their championship chances almost goodbye....

Worst thing of all is that I support them and want them to win, but shit like that is inexcusable.

 

[hadareud]

100% Kimi's fault.

Seb was moving to take the corner, Max was moving with him. Kimi failed to check after a good start, would have never made the corner with that divebomb even if the other two didn't change direction.

heh

 

[Spades]

Why the fuck are so many people blaming Kimi?!

 

[Frankfurter]

From the point of having Hamilton behind him, it was a stupid move. He opened the track for Hamilton. The one dude that needs to stay behind him and he opens the track.

? Vettel didn't care a single bit about Hamilton at the start.

 

[paskowitz]

What the hell was Vettel thinking going across like that? Had he stayed to the outside he would have been fine and blocked Ham. Silly.

 

[Zeknurn]

Yeah, no one is to blame in that incident. Vettel covered Verstappen and had no idea Kimi got a perfect start resulting in Verstappen getting squeezed.

 

[Aiii]

Perez is going to overtake Max by the end of this race if he gets more than ten points.

 

[killer_clank]

Palmer podium after being fired, believe

 

[Grug]

Palmer don't give a fuck anymore. Gonna have some fun.

 

[nekkid]

Rooting for Palmer now. Would be an amazing middle finger if he got a podium.

 

[magimix]

For the sheer carnage of the first corner, I'm amazed there were only three retirements!

 

[Randdalf]

Palmer having a go at it

 

[thenexus6]

This is the kind of thing that can lose you a championship..

 

[BAW]

Was Vettel hit?

 

[Theorry]

I hope Hulk gets on the podium just as about he was getting that "award"

 

[Cub3h]

Palmer!

 

[Dr.Phibes]

What the hell was Vettel thinking going across like that? Had he stayed to the outside he would have been fine and blocked Ham. Silly.

Or he would have lost places to VES and RAI...

 

[Ennosuke]

What the hell was Vettel thinking going across like that? Had he stayed to the outside he would have been fine and blocked Ham. Silly.

He was driving for P1 and wanted to block VES. Kind of obvious?

 

[JDB]

Bottas 😂

 

[Hanmik]

It will probably end up with half points.. Because the race time will be past the allowed time limit.

 

[Best]

Max should have just lifted really. He was the only one that could see the situation and he's yet again involved in a crash.

 

[CrayToes]

Finland loses again

Sounds like a better deal than a DNF.

 

[DBT85]

Go Palmer! Lol

What the hell was Vettel thinking going across like that? Had he stayed to the outside he would have been fine and blocked Ham. Silly.

He was thinking it was dry where they'd always do that. In the wet you can't see shit so more caution has to be used.

 

[DasPenguin]

100% Kimi's fault.

Seb was moving to take the corner, Max was moving with him. Kimi failed to check after a good start, would have never made the corner with that divebomb even if the other two didn't change direction.

Hope Alonso's car isn't damaged because of that. Wets are the tyres to be on IMO

I'm taking crazy pills here. You actually think Kimi still had control of the car at the corner? This place is filled with racing experts. Dear god.

 

[thenexus6]

COME ON JOE

 

[StopMakingSense]

Just turning on F1....

WHAT THE FUCK!?!?!

 

[Joni]

? Vettel didn't care a single bit about Hamilton at the start.

Indeed, which is idiotic. Obsesses about cutting off Verstappen giving Hamilton the chance to shoot ahead. Even if Vettel didn't crash out, Hamilton would have gained a lot by Vettel moving aside.

 

[BigAl1992]

Palmer has to go for broke tonight. If he wants to prove everyone, including all of us on here for taking the piss out of him, he has to score a high points position tonight and for the rest of the season.

 

[Leonsito]

Why is everyone blaming Vettel? In every single race you cover the inside at the start, and it's impossible he saw Kimi.

There wasn't space for the three cars, and none of them lifted their foot, racing incident.

 

[Frankfurter]

What the hell was Vettel thinking going across like that? Had he stayed to the outside he would have been fine and blocked Ham. Silly.

He did what every single driver does from pole: block your direct opponent. Direct opponent in that case was Verstappen. He might have lost P1 to Max if he would have just stayed on the right side of the track.

 

[Dr.Phibes]

Sounds like a better deal than a DNF.

Captain Hindsight strikes again.

 

[Cub3h]

Cmon Stoffelwaffle, take that boring Finn!

 

[TCRS]

4 times world champion smh

 

[DrM]

Bottas totally lost on inters

 

[Waveset]

Are we going to see a McLaren overtake a Mercedes?!

 

[Dilly]

I miss one race this season and it's this one, damnit!

 

[PdotMichael]

Indeed, which is idiotic. Obsesses about cutting off Verstappen giving Hamilton the chance to shoot ahead. Even if Vettel didn't crash out, Hamilton would have gained a lot by Vettel moving aside.

Yeah, should have known what happened two rows behind him instead of defending against the second.

 

[Theorry]

Lol block. Ves was already beside him.

 

[Randdalf]

Alonso's car looks broken, going slow

 

[Donos]

Well, seeing the streamable link from sunhi, how can you not blame Vettel? Where are RAI and VER supposed to go with VET coming over like that. Hilarious nontheless. Would have loved a shot of the Ferrari box.

And holy shit at that spray.

 

[hamchan]

Palmer overtaking Bottas is great.
