Think you're right.

yay

[stuart thompson]

Those replays are quite convincing as to who’s to blame!

[AndreasDavour]

Maybe this will bring #51 back into the game again.

Inception seems to get no breaks today.

The GT onboard doesn't look good for Kubica. Now I've seen it, I'd be surprised if he doesn't pick up a decent penalty.

Having said that, Martin has been given a warning for pushing Hanley off the track, and I thought that was dead-on for a drive through.

Edit - Kubica does sound like he's making excuses, talking about Vanthoor racing him earlier on in the lap. Errr, it's not F1 Robert - blue flags do not mean lapped cars jump out of the way.

Watched the replay a couple of times but feel the BMW moved away from the line on the right before the contact. A bit sloppy from a couple of pro drivers. That simply cannot happen there.

Here we go:

Clearly came away from the line on his right just before contact. Let's do some sharing of blame here.

Sounded to me like Kubica just admitted to it being revenge while trying not to admit it was revenge.

Go Pug!

[kartman24]

Barrier looks bad at the impact point, will take a few laps to replace that.

Nice badge by the way.

I stand by my word, I hope Ferrari lose this!

[pach233]

Said Vanthoor was fighting him out of the lane and pushed him off line and into GT traffic a couple times and then the side draft just happened to take him into Vanthoor.

Yeye not happy… good French speaking by the way. Sushi on the house!

[fieldodreams79]

I mean, that's a pretty stupid time and place to take revenge, if that's the case. I'm not buying it.

[PhilipR]

I guess these are the dangers of no tyre warmers and cars having big difference in speeds

[Adam43]

That is a hell of a machine repairing the barrier.

Happy birthday Yeye!

[PhilipR]

Any cars fron 6 to 38 - if they pit now they will end up on the same sc as the 83 and go a alp down and cannot get the time back

The stopped #9 Proton Oreca is under investigation for possible breach of article 12.3.2 (Repairs that can be carried out by the Driver).
