There isn't a point really reviewing it in terms of blame. It was a 50/50 racing accident. It was exciting and excellent drama.

That's exactly what makes F1 so good, particularly when it happens towards the front. The FIA may not like it (except when they get neurotic enough to hand out penalties afterwards) but we the fans do. Vettel and Kubica have taken it on the chin very well and not pointed fingers at each other.

The only man to try to stir anything about it was Dr Mario and his Facial hair!

Maybe Dr Mario should take a "chill pill".

LMFAO!

Dr Mario is the one who should be penalized... "no coaching your driver for next 5 races!" telling your driver to be too aggressive when a little patience will do lost them the race... he was looking past Vettel to go for the win... should've coached him to show patience and get past Vettel first!

Or they could sent Dr Mario to the stands like referees do to managers in Football matches when they're causing problems in their dugouts or technical areas.

Well, I do think Kubica was too aggressive, but Kubica had the race line thought the corner, there was nothing for Vettel to do but slow down, and let Kubica go.

I'm so pissed too, because I stayed up all night to watch this race, and then I see Vettel take out Kubica. Vettel admitted the mistake, and glad to see him get a penalty.

But hey, that's the way racing is. Next week Malaysia.

WHAT?! You can't slow down at the Apex of a turn! If he had, he would have spun into Kubica and been at fault. The only possible way that Vettel could have avoided Kubica's dive, is if he would have dove over the curb which was impossible because his suspension was already at full load. Kubica, sitting on the outside, had complete control of the situation. He used that control to ruin Vettel's season opener.

Kubica was ahead going in to the corner, due to Vettel braking very early, and neither driver could claim to have the racing line 100%.

That's true. But as in any midturn collision, the driver on the outside has control of the situation. Both drivers made mistakes, but Kubica was the only one that could have avoided the impact. Not only did he have spare tarmac, but he also had the momentum in his favor to use it. Oh, and in case anyone forgot, Kubica was the one who made the move!

Aggressive isn’t the word my son!!!! He totally wiped out Vettel and they both have to pay for the actions now. I think Vettel is the only Ferrari outsider I like...even though he was taking control of the ol' horse At T.R

Exactly!It would have been aggressive if he was all over Vettel's @ss. Kubica was in Vettel's @ss. That's called @ss-r@pe

[mikef1fan]

What a moron! He could have waited another lap and take SV on a straight - SV's supersoft tires were already shot.
And then the fashion RK did try to overtake - almost like DC in his best or worst days. And not leaving any room for SV whatsoever

Absolutely GUTTED

I would also like to add BARRICHELLO you that first corner collision was stupid, unnecessary and your fault.

II agree with these statements, why couldn't RK just wait say one corner I'm sure vettl would of had no chance and now it's all SV's fault for defending his position why should he just let RK just pass him? is criminal for him to get a 10 place drop(shouldn't of driven on with a wreck car though) for getting one car out his fault or not. Then Barrichello not to get anything for ruining 3 drivers races.

No. It was clearly Vettel's fault. He said, officials said, and I said.

I totally agree. Gosh the big nosed bastar-d!!! He totally wrecked Vettel’s race!! Un-fair! I am on the Vettel bandwagon!! He is the next Schumi u watch! While Kubica took 2nd away from him! Vettel would say that to be nice, he’s too nice!! Do a Schumi and punch the punk one!!

The next Schumacher, eh?

In that case, Vettel deliberately turned in to Kubica to try and take him out of the race and not lose P2.

They want guys trying to fight and pass and go for wins yet they continously penalize them if it goes wrong..... Good work F1

yes they cant have it both ways...its not like one of the drivers did it on purpose..... they should only get a prnalty if its deemed to be done on purpose

Or it was completely stupid. Massa at Fuji is a good example.
