Not really unexpected to be fair. Vettel with a stonking lap notwithstanding the hit of the wall. If he gives Max a sniff into turn 1 there could be sparks. This was always going to be Mercedes weakest track of the last few, fully expect an close fight for the rest of the season

Its the same as where Merc were 2 years ago here - Row 3.

 

Dani Ric says RedBull will win, and I agree - if they beat Kimi away from the lights they can split their strategy to beat Vettel.

I'm expecting a cracking race tomorrow. The Red Bulls can go for a 50:50 with Vettel knowing that the Ferrari will have to yield or crash - could be an epic race. Will Hamilton have enough pace in the race to get ahead of Kimi? Maybe. It seems to be quite close at the front so what are the chances of their being no contact between the Top 6? Slim I would suggest.

It was to be honest, while ultimately it was Seb that caused it all, he just defended hard and on another day, had Kimi not got as good start he would have squeezed Max and they would have all driven away fine. It's just one of those things, I often wonder how they all get away without tangling at the start. 

 

It's a shame and I'd rather see them fight it out on track, I think with those conditions a feisty Max would have took the win but sadly we wont see what would have happened. I still had Seb down as favorite to win until this weekend, I think he's going to struggle now to pull it back.

Hahahahahaha.

 

Signore Marchione went bat5hit after his Ferrari team got spanked at Monza.

 

I bet he really wigs out over this.

 

Ferrari still blaming Max online apparently.

Looking at the overhead shot now

Vettel is coming across, Max has already started to slow down and back out of it, but he's still steering left away from the #5.

 

Kimis right rear is just about to hit the RedBull as Max slows. A racing incident, but as Max said - if you're fighting for the title

 

maybe pulling over hard like that is just too much of a risk to take.

I haven't laughed so much since Rosberg chopped Hamilton at Barcelona and they both crashed out.

Good and useful picture of events. Spot on summary too. Vettel won't be happy with himself. Disappointing for me because I was hoping for a Vettel win.  Damnations!

From this angle it sees N0.7 still had room to keep over and avoid the accident. Mind you N0.5 came over at such a rate, even without the red bull it looks like he was going to hit his own team mate.

Meanwhile, Hamilton is thinking " Holy Moses " as he watches the (de)parting of the Red Sea!

In the previous picture, S.V. has a bit of left lock on - not always a sign of which way he intends to go - also he's definitely looking in his left mirror. 

Target fixation?

Honda have started the slagging match...

accusing McLaren of being unable to adapt to change.  I think if the change is taking about 100bhp off the going rate -  any of the teams in F1 are going to struggle to adapt to that.

 

Let's wait and see how STR do next year tugging that Japanese boat-anchor around.
