Seb very lucky not to be taken out, spun on his own in the end

You mean Kimi, but I'd say 50-50.

Amateur hour by Sending leading the race. Smh.

Poor Alonso, amazing start into third, not enough Teflon this time.

Ferraris put VES into a sandwich ... Vettel probably did not expect Kimi to start that well and thought he could squeeze Max

The car was done already at that point and he probably spun becase half the rear was missing.

Vettel 100% to blame there. You cannot squeeze like that when there is nowhere to go.

Thought it might have been kimi with some of the blame from Max's onboard, he didn't move an inch though, 100% Vettel.

Well how absolutely ridiculous - after working so hard to get pole , just throw it all away by not being sensible, what's the point in taking risks?

The spin was from Vettel's own oil, so not much to be done there.

Also ruins the race; yeah maybe you'd say it's a contest with Ricciardo but could have been so much more interesting - even Alonso's race ruined!

Every single journalist on the interviews yesterday reminded Sebastian that Max was going to do something like this.

They should have known it was coming and had to plan to maximize points over Mercedes. Instead they score zero.

Sad. Could have been an instant classic.

Vettel with his aggressive starts... a straight line would have seen him clear of damage but he had to block Verstappen. Hamilton leaves Singapore extending his championship lead, the race that was to be Mercedes' worst performance.

WEll, that was 100% Vettels fault, without question, without ambiguity.
I am someone who likes hard racing, doesn't mind if a driver slowly squeezes another - but what he did was utterly absurd.



To have NO awareness if a driver on the l eft has made a better start? To not even have any contingency in his mind? to not even CHECK? He cut across in such an extreme unnecessary way, it was baffling - What was he thinking?
What on earth was going through his head???


I am absoloutely gutted, i wanted him to win this race to make the championship more interesting - This moment has just gifted Hamilton the championship. Vettel would have to win every single race to make up for the points deficit here. Its over. And frankly, Hamilton deserves it. Unbelievable.

Vettel needs his brain checked.

Is ferrari engine damaged? if they will have to change the engine for the next race, the game is over without a doubt.

Vettel proved another time that HE CAN'T manage the PRESSURE. Totally his fault...
