- Raikkonen's driving towards the end - pathetic,

The best way to sum up what he did on Grosjean is "dick move" imo.

he was on primes for 50 laps!!!

So he was on 50 old lap primes, overheating brakes, and told to conserve fuel. lol it seems luck has not been on his side lately

ooooor you can say after signing ferrari his own team is not on his side lately

And that justifies him shoving Grosjean out of the track how?

His tires were gone and he couldn't keep the car properly. He was aware of RoGro coming strong from behind (hence the radio communication) but was waiting for a good place to move away because he could have f***ed up everything if the did something at the wrong time.

I would say he didn't pick the right way to do it.

Hindsight talking, but... letting Grosjean go and holding Massa behind through the infield, would probably play out better for him and the Lotus team, doing what he did made himself and Grosjean lose time and Massa ended up sneaking past Kimi at the same spot.
At worst he gets the same fate he got and Grosjean's life is facilitated.

You can't dive the f***ing thing if your tires are sliding all over the place.

Agreed, that's the reason i think it's stupid to defend your position agressively on completely shot tyres.

Enough with this conspiracy theories!! Bad luck happens to every driver,and Raikkonen has openly admitted that the car is not to his liking atm, that is why you see a dip in form. Such statements like this is utter crap tbh

He was not defending anything. He said he is waiting for a good place to let him pass.

He was not defending anything. He said he is waiting for a good place to let him pass.

Yet when he was in a perfect place to let him pass, he drove him off the track.

LOL @ FIA. 25000 $ fine against the Team and reprimand against Vettel.

That's a shame.
Everytime a driver does something outside the sterile norm of modern F1 they punish them. (Admittedly at least not overly harshly in this case)
Why is that?
Especially since otherwise they are so keen on the 'Show' rather than the Sports. And now that a driver delivers 'Show' they are unhappy again. Maybe it's because it wasn't thir idea....

So were Grosjean's. Grosjean only pitted some 3 laps after Kimi

[LionKing]

Hamilton's subpar performance again gets billed to the team, as usual no surprise there...

[ringo]

Grosjean doing a fine job; making the kimster look ordinary. Maybe Romain should have got the Ferrari contract?

Actually Grosjean pitted 6 or 7 laps later, anyway Kimi made a wrong and unnecessary move there and lets move on
