It was clearly on Perez. He made a super aggressive moved and paid the price. The only option Kimi had was to completely blow his line and let Perez by with a pass that wasn't even close to have been made.AnthonyG wrote:If you look at it frame by frame, you see Raikkonen increased his rate of turn when Perez came aside him.Maxion wrote:http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=w1CGb39Rlpg
Looking at this RAI was already turning left before PER had his nose next to Raikkonen. Clearly it was Perez's fault.
Raikkonen should know better.
Perez didn't always drive clean, but this isn't his mistake imo.
For me, it was clearly on Kimi. Kimi did not drive his normal line into the corner, instead, he cut across perez and forced him "off" the track.Feint wrote:It was clearly on Perez.

Kimi's options were to blow his line and lose position or to hold it and maybe have contact and lose position.
Perez's options were to back off and maintain position, or to cause a collision.

Or Kimi could have stuck to the kerb and stay in front towards the Tabac.Feint wrote:It was clearly on Perez. He made a super aggressive moved and paid the price.

Am I the only one who thinks "your tyres were 60%" was actually bluffing?Mika1 wrote:: D Good job Nico.Mika1 wrote:Mercedes will win this race. Tyre deg isn't that bad here.
Perez was trying to stick his car somewhere that it wasn't going to fit. I would say it was a racing incident, but one instigated by Perez. I wouldn't say he should be sanctioned for anything based on that incident alone.beelsebob wrote:For me, it was clearly on Kimi.

I think this incident is adequately investigate by sky sport and Lewis admits that it was his fault to hold up for long .komninosm wrote:My guess is this:zeph wrote:I think Chilton should be penalized for his bout with Maldonado.
And how did the RBR's jump Hamilton under SC1?!?
Let's say SC lap delta is 2 minutes. RBR pit just before it, Mercedes pit during it, it all balances out.
But Hamilton had to follow Rosberg AND lose 5 more seconds so he could come to the pitstop just as Rosberg was leaving. So he did a 2.05 lap. The 4cars were 1 second apart before SC, so that put Hamilton 3 seconds behind Webber (from 2 seconds ahead).
That's my explanation for it because Mercedes didn't protest any RBR speeding violation. I'm not saying they shouldn't be investigated, quite the contrary.

Where did you hear Hamilton say that? What do you mean sky sport investigated it?rssh wrote:I think this incident is adequately investigate by sky sport and Lewis admits that it was his fault to hold up for long .komninosm wrote:My guess is this:zeph wrote:I think Chilton should be penalized for his bout with Maldonado.

Anyone has the video of Kimi passing Hulk in the last laps ?
About Kimi - Perez incident it was definitely Perez fault he couldn't have turned in from that point because he locked up . Also Perez has a great sense of traction out of the corner before tunnel and he maximizes his speed .
What a genius. Nobody would believe that. Completely different tyres, completely different track.Bomber_Pilot wrote:The most objective person in the paddock, Marko Helmut is apparently already talking to the press, that Merc only won today because of the tests after Barcelona and that if they had the same opportunity they would be a sec per lap faster.
They got 1000km of free testing of the current car with the current drivers. How is that not an unfair advantage? Anyone who is not a Merc/Lewis/Nico fan can see it.turbof1 wrote:What a genius.

They are making too much a fuss about it.
