cant see anything wrong with that - LH and Seb where wide apart and it looks like Lewis goes wide round a cornerand doesnt gain the place

Certainly no where near as dangerous (or close) as the RB coming together

Doesnt look too bad, but Seb certainly does move over a little bit to force the issue, not the first time he has done that to hamilton this season though, I'm slowly losing my like for Vettel after the pit incident easrlier in the year and the race yesterday, hopefully this crash will bring him back down a peg or two.

Not that obvious seeing as pretty much everyone disagrees with you.
Apart from CH and EJ

Mind giving your reasons as to why you felt Webber was to blame??.

Think you will find most if not all the people in here will disagree with you and say it was Vettels fault.

Take a look at Lap 18.

Oh yeah.

That hot headed arrogant ***** tried to ram Hamilton off as well.

Would love to see that onboard of that for both drivers.

Not to mention that little pratt Vettel tried to push Hamilton into the pit crews when they were going side by side a few races ago. Can't stand him.

The Reb Bull's taking each other out yesterday was my fave sporting moment of the year so far.

Still no post from CS||Nuts..

media ban

Or more likely just busy. 2 damaged cars, 2 angry drivers, probably crew split down the middle and media.

Not read the thread, just having listened to Horners comments on the BBC website.

Even EJ doesn't disagree, he just says its a bit less clear cut than everyone else sees it.

You don't have the weekend off when you are called in for gagging orders and some team hypnotherapy.

What about your opinion though from watching it?

I thought the incident was 100% Vettels fault, completely. He might of had the speed to eventually run him down but Webber was in the right to hold his line. For Vettel to turn in on Webber like he did and take them both out was silly he didn't lose control of the car like he mentioned in the interview afterwards, instead he was trying to scare Webber to backing off before the corner. Resulting in taking them both out.

Saying that though we all know Webber is just as aggressive, so lets not make out that he'd of not done something just as silly... because he has in the past.

Overall I thought it was a boring race, I did enjoy the Hamiltion / Button fight near the end. Not really a fan of the Turkish race though, looking forward to Canadian GP.

Agree with everything here.

10 days, 23 hours, 29 minutes to Friday practice...

horner is currently waving a watch back and forth 'webber is entirely to blame for not mastering phasing out of existence'

thepharcyde · 31 May 2010 at 15:36

My opinion, you snooze you loose, unfortunately Vettel came off worse. Fortunately RB just want onetwos, so maybe should have made the call for Webber to let him through and communicated this over the radio before the Hamilton and co potentially would enter the frame. Tough call, I do not know who's to blame, all I can say Vettel found a piece of track to make a opportunity for himself albeit it a very tight one they touched, Webber was slower.

Having listened to Coulthard's comments (as he is still involved with RBR and has an idea of what's going on there) and reading an article on James Allen's blog about favourites within the RBR team, as well as looking at the comments from Horner and Helmut Marko, I really get the feeling that there is a desire within the team for Vettel to succeed over Webber.

I don't buy into the idea that they are actively favouring Vettel, but they do look like they'd prefer him to be winning the races.

Fanatic · 31 May 2010 at 16:03

Can't wait for the race edit - usually we hear more team radio then we do live, maybe we will hear some team radio for RBR and McLaren when their drivers are battling.

It does look that way. I have lost all respect for Red Bull. I hope that either Webber wins the championship or McLaren start beating them on a regular basis.
