"It is really unprofessional. For a driver who has achieved so much to take out his frustrations on me just because he is having a difficult year is really sad. One does not expect a professional sportsman to be such a cry baby." I agree Narain.
I already said that "Idiot" is too harsh, because mistakes can happen.
It's still a mistake of Narain, though. He had enough space, but he chose to move to the right. Karthikeyan also has been punished for the incident by the stewards.
I know that you don't like Vettel, but I don't understand how you can see this situation differently.
I don't know. I feel like from every angle I watched the scene in, I could judge differently. Can one talk about the situation? Most certainly, yes, but the situation is still being blown out of proportion by the media by now because theres no race for 3 weeks and they need something to talk about. I call BS.

When did I ever say I dont like Vettel? I do. If anything it is Narain I dont like because he has no place in F1 when good drivers watch from the sidelines. Lots of people in the press I have read see it as I do. A silly mistake by Vettel, even DC called it 50/50 and a racing incident in the video you posted and he always sides with Red Bull due to his employment. As for why it has been such a talking point is (in my view) a totally unjust penalty and Vettels post race comments.

here's a thought. why couldn't vettel drive a few more meters forward of narain's car before 'merging' ?

Looks like the other video I posted was taken off. Here again a video of the incident:
Am I the only one who sees Narain's car moving right, away from the grass? To me it looks like he wanted to get behind Vettel as fast as he can, but he misjudged something (his speed, Vettel's speed or whatever). If he had waited one tenth of a second or even less before driving right, there wouldn't be an accident.
Every driver can drive more safely, so that they don't pay the price if another driver makes an mistake, but that would also mean that they would drive slower.
@Aristodemus: I was judging from your posts in this thread. If I'm wrong, I'm sorry.
Not F1, but this is the best place to find some1 interested in it ( ) Major Tom went 2nd and 3rd today in Valencia, putting him in 3rd place in the WTCC standings. In 2 weeks they'll be in Marrakech; while its a weirdly boring track, it's always been up for some cool and crazy races. Can't wait for it
God dammit! It was a 3 week break not a two week break? so annoying these breaks in F1. Oh well i guess they deserve time off for lugging those cars and that around the world! Next 12 days will be going so slow
Cannot wait for this weekend, been way to long of a break, and they will all be nice a fresh for this race. Im hoping Lewis finally wins a race after starting poll this time, he can't keep being unlucky. Mclaren 1-2 i predict!
Had to change his gear box and with the stupid 3 race rule implemented by the FIA at the start of this season he has been pinalized with a 5 place grid penalty!
They have atleast spotted a potential non-finish before the race or even qualifying. With rain predicted and Lewis' previous record in China I still think he will win.
I'm so pumped for Formula 1 this season, after the last race that was amazing i have been CRAVING f1 :p Tomorrows Qualifying can't come soon enough!
On another note, wasn't bbc supposed to air some races? Sky has been alright but some things are just way off-putting for me, like bbc's guys go quiet when a team radio is played but the commentator from sky actually talked LOUDER so he could overpower it instead.. ugh
There's been a lot of news in the last 3 weeks but they all were so minor that i CBAed to post about it. Guess the major thing is that FIA wants Bahrain GP to happen, after all.
I still don't know the order of team's strength this season for me personally. This season feels so weirdo, I don't know, lol. I can't make anything up out of the P2 long stint times (apart from another Alonso-Massa discrepancy), gotta wait for P3 times.
EPT
