    I'd seen the other two onboards posted in the thread by Prugna, seeing Kimi's, Kimi drove like there were no other cars on the track but Nico and Ricci. He dove up Rosberg, second guessed himself to try for more exit speed instead of a dive, hit the brakes pulled out, went wide, and cut across the two cars diving up his inside.

    Had it been a three car race, he would of been fine, but Vettel charged into the space Kimi would of used.

    Ultimately, the Ferrari's are the cars that drove in too hard, and ran out of braking ability. Both Kimi and Vettel tried to dive up the inside, and washed out. Kvyat brakes about 80-100 feet earlier than the Ferrari's, and went up their inside in full control.

    Disagree, in the end Vettel should have come inside, Ferrari would have been better off if he took out Lil Dani as opposed to Kimi.....red hitting red is always a bad thing if you're a Tifosi. Kyvat likely will be replaced by Verstappen next year and Seb won't have the same problems ;)

    Kimi's poor choices caused the issue to begin with, in the end it's a racing incident and am glad the stewards saw it that way. More racing and less penalties, let these men be gladiators.
