Kvyat was way to fast into that corner.

Watch the replay and stop whining. If anything, it was Kimis fault. Anyway, that's racing.

Damn, those swiss watch makers really know how to build an engine. Redbull must thank their lucky star they don't have to use those crappy Renault engines :lol:

Because he drives like an idiot, and he's overly arrogant!

This race shows the FIA are cowards, something needs to be done about all the stupidity we are seeing so far this season.

Nope its proof that hamilton had a damaged car
Hamilton's damaged car affected Bottas Williams?

@Shrieker That's a very unfair assessment considering

1.) He was at absolutely no fault at the first lap incident, just at the wrong place wrong time

2.) His frontwing that then got under the car and caused further damage may have also been part of the reason why that safety car was deployed.

I do have to wonder; that lap 1 incident - Kvyat makes an ambitious move that leads Vettel to avoid, hit Raikkoennen who then loses out and leaves the track.... was it Kimi who then joined the track in perhaps a dangerous fashion that led to Nasr avoiding and hitting Hamilton?

If yes, i think Kimi should have at least been investigated. You cant leave the track and rejoin in a dangerous manner.

Of course, if that wasnt the case, then that doesnt apply. But; what was Nasr avoiding when he jerked to the right into Hamiltons wing?
Not for nothing, Rosberg's Championship is the only thing that lends credibility to Hamilton's recent success. Otherwise, he'd just be the guy who's had the best car. — bhall II

- told you in Bahrain Red Bull was v. impressive, I want my points :-)
- Ferrari almost won another race - they're second that's surely "almost", BTW what happened to their magic clutch???

- gutsy drive against the odds by Vettel, would have been a perfect one except for rubbish qualifying, rubbish start and collision, another collision (suicidal move on Bottas) and everything else. Thankfully with no competition (Kvyat) and close-to-best car you don't need good driving, you get half of teams' prize money anyway.
lol... Rosbergs luck has to change at some point right?
right on point vettel!!!! he dug into the idiot in the red bull in the changing room lmao

so what's the recap of the start?

- kwyat agressive into corner overtakes vettel on the curb forcing vettel to the outisde where
- kimi goes to the inside into vettel without giving a f*ck (couldn't have seen that kwyat was driving like a ******)
- vettel takes out kimi
- nasr avoids a car part (!) on the inside line and swerves left
- kimi comes back on track without giving a f*ck
- nasr then swerves hard back to the inside into lewis to avoid kimi and ruins lewis' race

did i get this right? i missed the first 15 minutes and have only seen one replay

and i missed vettel vs kwyat after the race, what did vettel say? they were still discussing on the podium

I haven't seen the replay again, but if I remind correctly there was no contact between Kvyat and Vettel, and Kvyat managed to d the turn without going off road. If it is correct, then IMHO, Kvyat has made the correct thing using his better corner speed in that occasion.

I would have baited the little sh** into a physical altercation and then knocked him out.

To me the mcLaren's results this race prove that Vandoorne got everything there was to be gotten from that car last race...

spot on.

The Russian and Kimi should have both been given penalties by like lap 3, both moves where overzealous!
