:iagree: I'm not sure it would have made a difference. By Vettel's own admission he did not get a good start so he made the move to keep Max behind him. It was a risky move even if the track was dry but not so smart on wet surface with cold tire. Vettel doesn't deserve to win his judgement and track behavior this year is not worthy of champion.

+1 he is by far the least level headed multi WDC winner. LH is eating his lunch and Ferrari have a well balanced car and because of Baku and this, they are now faves to lose both titles to Mercedes. No loss. Vettel is a brat who ran from Ricci at Red Bull when Ricci trounced him after his last title. Vettel is severely over rated in my opinion. Im no LH fan but this year Vettel is still fkn it up in a better car.

The trajectory shows there is a very good chance they collide if Max brakes out and slows quickly. Vettel was entirely focused on Max and not the corner. Fool!!

if you were in verstappen's position, will you lift thus avoiding the squeeze?

of cos you don't want to lose the position but you know things gonna go bad if you don't lift.

i would have lifted then fight back.

yes, it's true vettel was moving towards verstappen..

but, verstappen's also moved towards raikkonen....

in fact, he squeezed into raikkonen's right-rear first, at that moment, there's still quite a bit of room between himself and vettel..

I am always up for it,when it comes time to blame Verstappen.:icon23:

He had 61 laps and a track that was going to dry out to fight back to get P1 back from Max. He was not going to be under real threat in my opinion. Not the first time at all he misjudged badly something like this. Vettel is fast but his race craft is not comparable to others including Ricci and Alonso.

alcheng 09-18-2017 02:27 PM

but on the other hand, vettel's move is nothing new in racing.

i believe everyone will agree hamilton has done it for tons of time to rosberg in the pass 2-3 years.

I am not a fan of either vettel and verstappen.

if you look at the video again, there's still quite some gap between vettel and verstappen when he ran into raikkonen.

Open question to all.

Has anyone lodged any complaints to liberty media or F1 alone on updates and changes you'd like to see?

One i'd like is the introduction of mandated helmet cams. Indy car and some other series are already running helmet cams on several drivers, but not mandated.

This visual aspect would be beneficial on both the social media side as well as safety side.

top 3 on the grid filled with the top 3 cars, with one gutsy verstappen starting at 3rd place, and the squeezing right-left at the end of the straightaway.

the start's gonna be a...... do or die.
