Kimi was right behind him, then Lewis of course and Vettel and Kvyat were on hot laps

He was in the best place possible and made it "dangerous" in the loosest terms.

I was thinking along the lines of who else was compromised, could Kvyat and Vettel improved?

Under investigation..
Imo there's nothing to investigate. The whole pitlane says it was on purpose. Just look at how he's simulating a tankslapper way before the normal braking zone on a hotlap. Schumi Rascass..

He also shouldn't have had to back up knowing its the last minute of Q3 and there's more people on a hotlap.

Look how early he turns in the first time. Did he want to drive into the wall?

He's sawing at the wheel but none of it is opposite lock. He hasn't lost the rear there at all. He's hacking left and right and that's where the car is doing what it's told.

It looks like he could have made the corner twice then thought against it?

Guys, he said that he braked later and locked the front. If he wanted to produce yellows, it would've been much less obvious if he would've braked just a bit later than that.

The sawing behind the well looks to me like a driver feeling that the front tires are too light and searching to get a bit of grip.

Once he saw he was well down on his best . he abandoned and aborted. Most people go quicker on their last run, so he knew he was in trouble. IMO

He even said the track was getting quicker in the post race PC.

Aside from the obvious Rosberg incident, it is a bit depressing to look up and down the field and see drivers appear pretty much in the order of their teams

1-2 Mercedes

3-4 Red Bull

5-6 Ferrari

10-11Force India

14-15 Lotus

17-18 Sauber

19-20 Marussia

21-22 Caterham


Massa was shunted, he probably would have been alongside Bottas

Too late, the fanboys are out, jerking eachother off as usual.

if everything was planned he wouldn't have reversed, as it make him look like an idiot.
That's why I am not buying the "In Purpose" theory.
He would have intentionally stopped the car early.
