I have to agree, it may have been a stupid move by Vettel today, but I dont think it was intentional... but his move over on Hamilton in the pits was intentional.

Agreed, only in the respect that Vettel is still relatively new. I still see the same refusal to accept blame that haunted Schumi all his carreer. Left unchecked, i can see him reaching that level of contempt.

Vettel has a fork in the road in his life right now, he can choose the Schumi path or the right path.

The Schumi path can only lead to greatness and his name in the history books.

Everyone seems to get hung up on Schumacher doing nothing illegal but Senna taking Prost out twice is treated as a sign of greatness. Don't get that at all.

Because Senna never took out Prost, Prost drove intoSenna both times.

MS on the other hand is a complete ass who has driven into numerous drivers, and Rascasse parking spots.

Shumacher is the dirtiest player in the game. But he is who he is, and i respect that.
Can't have a good movie without the bad guy. The man is an opportunist, fans should not be ashamed to say that.
Vettel cannot be a shumi though, even if he tried. That past era was ver lax, the FIA wont have that behavior now.

The sad thing is, i don't think this is the last we have heard of Vettel's denials.
The closer the other cars get to the red bull, the more pressure he will be under, the more wild lunges we will be seeing.
For Sure!!

Not agreeing with Andrew concerning Schumacher, but Senna sure paved the way to Schumi's bully behaviour.

C'mon, Senna himself said he didn't brake for the first turn of Suzuka 1990 and never intended to.

Interestingly, if you watch Vettels steering (in his on-car shot) he seems to be unstable, having to adjust heaps in that sequence. The other TV angles show this too (just compare it to Webber's) which made me think initially he may have already had something broken on his car. His car seems to lurch right as soon as they enter the braking zone even though he doesn't move the wheel as much as I'd have thought needed to do so.

I wouldn't be surprised if it was largely his left wheels were on marbles and his right wheels gripped more as soon as he hit the brakes - veering him right a lot more abruptly than he expected. It'd still his fault but maybe not as bullish as some are claiming.
