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!!

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.

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.
