Get over yourself. I was saying Kubicas accident in comparison was kids stuff. He suffered nothing but concussion. Where did I joke about Bracks crash. That's right no where.

Quite a surprise. From the onboard footage Perez looks to have the wheel firmly straight and is in no way crowding Massa to the circuit edge. Just a pity the onboard Massa footage skips a frame at the crucial moment.
Glad both are ok but can never be certain of the effect on the drivers' bodies in the long-term.

" The circuit here seems to suit my style. I just seem to gel with the track. There's a lot of heavy braking, which has generally been a real strength of mine, and I hope I can have another good weekend this year. "
Although to be fair it sounds like it was a failure caused in his last pit stop... but then Paddy Lowe said the MGU-K failure resulted in stressed load on the rear brakes and that Rosberg drove amazingly well to nurse the car at speed so make of it what you will.

Wow, what a race.
Great to see Ricciardo win, deserves something going his way. Top bloke as well, really hope he can win a few more races this year.
Loved seeing Hard Luck Hamilton retire, nice advantage for Rosberg but I doubt it'll last.
Glad Massa and Perez are ok, that was one hell of an impact.
Canada never fails to disappoint, roll on 10 more years of racing like that

Very disappointed by that penalty for Perez. Massa had more than enough room? Perez didn't make a crazy lunge right to left? I was sure it'd be racing incident and left at that!
Guess they have access to all the data and whatnot, but from the TV footage, it just didn't look like he should be blamed for it.

As above
Lewis Hamilton: "The circuit here seems to suit my style. I just seem to gel with the track. There's a lot of heavy braking, which has generally been a real strength of mine, and I hope I can have another good weekend this year. "
Think he's answered that one for you

I just watched hte lock up again on SSN... Rosbergs front/s were locked well after turn in point - to say he did anything deliberate *cough* drunkenmaster *cough* is ABSURD haha!
Soldato
That is pretty good footage actually! I'm really not sure what to make of it.
Why did Massa continue to turn right, when he knew the driver in front would have to turn left into the corner?
Perez definitely did move a bit left, but is that not his right given that he is infront? It wasn't multiple moves. He just turned a little...
Really not sure what to make of it, but there was a load of room left on the track. Racing incident and I fail to see how it deserves a 5 place grid penalty.
This is very different to Max Chilton diffing it into the side of his team mate.

Looks 50/50 to me

8th to 4th math failure.

Fair enough. Perez moved to the middle of the track when Massa was already committed. He should have stayed to the right at the fast right kink.
Soldato
It really looks like Massa turns more to the right than would be expected though, he was ultra aggressive and trying to force Perez off the track maybe?
Didn't work out...
I'm annoyed that the judges have given any penalty on this.

I like both drivers so from an unbiased pov I'd have to say Perez turned left which looked too early for the apex, as if he was avoiding going into the back of Vettel...
I think the stewards made the right call there and Massa, despite prior protestations in this thread, wasn't at fault at all.

9th to 4th
at one point Button was running around 14th as well, so to get 4th was a damn good drive considering Merc, RBR, Ferrari, Williams and FI were ahead on performance most of the weekend.

Perez started to move to the outside then started to move back which caught Massa out. Not a lot Massa could've done imo.
Soldato
I guess it's one that will have people arguing until it's forgotten about.
I'm gutted for the both of them though. Had been screaming at Massa to go all out, win or nothing! He did what I asked...
It's good to see drivers going for it, this time it didn't work out. I don't think a penalty was deserved for either driver.

Not really, in order to secure fourth place, did he drive past two cars that had crashed?
