Spot on stewards decision. Vettel's mess up. Needs to race better.

Vettel's mess up was to place himself at risk to Max, I have the feeling that if Max was a serious championship contender this year and the Ferraris closed him out like this there would not have been an accident. Max's logic; and Horner's pre-race interview; was that Seb was racing for a championship and would not force the issue with him, wrong, Vettel had a brain explosion and tried to force the issue with the young and desperate. Vetttel should have taken a leaf out of Hamilton's book and heeded: "That kid's dangerous, it wasn't worth it." Should Max have been done for causing an avoidable incident is probably the accurate question? No, according to the stewards. Probably the correct decision. |

Vettel had no reason to defend against a hard young charger like Max, he should have just kept on his line.

There are startline crashes like this in just about every racing series just about every week but this crash is analysed as if Vettel committed an act of GBH

What he did and the subsequent inevitable crash was GBH in F1 terminology. Ridiculous, desperate tactics which should have been stamped out long ago by the FIA. There is no need for a driver, particularly one of Vettel's ability, to employ such an outlandish blocking manoeuvre and as I and a lot of other more learned observers have commented, if this type of on track behaviour had been outlawed from the onset, we would have had a decent race. The roots go way back to Senna and Schumacher, ergo if it was acceptable then.......

Blocking has been and will always be part of racing. No matter how hard you try, you will never be able to outlaw them. Even in Nascar they are moving all over the place to block. I never understood that "omg, it is the end of the world", seeing it has gone on for decades and we are still racing.
Blocking stupidly exercised is dumb but takes care of itself. |

That would be criminal damage.
