Buuuuuuut, Vettel ran over his wing. How is that NK's fault? he does that quite often when passing other cars, as I have pointed out before.

What possible reason could Vettel have for cutting in so early?

Your boy made a boo boo WB :)
You can make all kind of arguments about it, but the fact remains that lapped drivers have to get out of the way. Katikeyan did this neither for Button nor for Vettel. It wasn't Vettel's duty to keep clear. He could have been more cautious but it is easy to say this with hindsight. Katikeyan is relatively inexperienced but he has been in F1 for so long that he should know better. I really hope they find a better Indian driver. I'm truely fed up with the guy and think he should get a fat penalty for this race.


Sorry but watch the race again, Kartikeyan as ahead of Button in standing. He was 10 after the SC because at the start of the race, he had already the rain tyre.

And Button said in PC it was his fault, he couldn't slow down the car enough.

Unfortunately some [some people] prefer to flog a horse when the race has already been run?

I loved this race, literally on the edge these last two races trump the entire 2011 season thus far...

I want to see racing next time and not match fixing if you'll excuse me.

Nonsense! [...] Why would Perez do it this way? Going off track in these tricky conditions is like a suicide!!! He could have just sat behinde Fred until the end.

I appreciate Vettel but no way to call a driver like this -_-'
RBR a LOT of work to do ..
World champion Sebastian Vettel didn't just criticise Narain Karthikeyan after their clash in Malaysia -- he called the Indian driver a vegetable.

The back-to-back title winner's points hopes went up in flailing Pirelli rubber towards the end of the rain-affected Sepang race following contact with Karthikeyan's back-of-the-field HRT.









"He was off the track. In my view, it was over," Red Bull driver Vettel, now 17 points behind the championship lead after just two races, said on German RTL television.

"As in real life, there are a few cucumbers on the road," the German frowned.

"It's extremely frustrating, because in a chaotic race where I lost the radio right at the beginning, a fourth place would have been satisfactory."

More broadly, Vettel admits Red Bull has work to do.

Asked about the current pecking order in 2012, he said: "We are somewhere in the middle.

"(Ferrari's) Fernando (Alonso) did a good race today but the key was to always come into the pits at the right time.

"We have work to do, no doubt," added Vettel.

I've never really been an Alonso fan. (He was too pathetic in every possible way in '07.)

But, he's doing an excellent job of testing my resolve this year.

He did leave room, but Vettel thought he was already past. I don't understand how he can just assume that the driver behind is gone. He wasn't. Did Vettel need to push hard, no, he had _zero_ reason to be so pushy/cutty.

You have to avoid backmarkers as much as they have to avoid you.

I hate to say it, but its obvious to me that the Seb colored glasses are on today.
If this was a robust expression board I would tell you what I think about such judgement. So I just refrain from saying anything and let every have his own opinion.

And Vettels interview, what an absolute grub!

He isn't a champ he is a chump for such disgusting regard to a fellow F1 driver regardless if Nahrain has a horrible car or not, you don't denagrate fellow drivers unless he would like to hear what Webber said about him at Fuji...

You may attack my post all you want. I never meant it to be personal.

Ask yourself this, is there anything Vettel could have done to avoid it? Does he have a history of turning in too early?

Is my assumption reasonable based on the past, and what I saw?

Called "pathetic" a second time for putting forth my opinion in a civilised manner, never mind other insults.

But why can't you guys keep civilised ?

Let me tell you why. You're afraid of the possibility that there was no way ever for a race to take place between Alonso and Perez. And so you attack. Attack, as an afraid beast does. One of the most basic behaviours of all living.
