Kudos to the Honda team for making it to Q3 with such a close margin below the top 4

Vettel didn’t help with his mistake, at the very least he should be on second row with Kimi. Another mistake under pressure. Then the team piles on with their ineptitude.

Here's an actual look at Vettel's attempt to do a meaningful overtake:

Bull versus horses ! Good job MAX

Bartledoo · 10-07-2018, 05:45 PM

The Vettel-Verstappen crash analyses don't make any damn sense to me. If you actually rewatch the incident it is clear that Vettel is completely on the inside curb when Max turns into him. In fact, Max's front left tire was aligned end-to-end with Vettel's front right while Vettel's front left was entirely on the inside curb. People are claiming that Vettel understeered into him, but how does understeer even factor into the discussion when the event occurred how I just described? And then stating that he shouldn't have tried to overtake there when there was an obvious opportunity...

Watch it in slow motion.

Vettel has certainly been screwing up a lot this season, but this one doesn't make the list for me.

And then they compared this to the China incident! Heh? Verstappen was completely behind him when they started turning in.

Vettel driving desperate all weekend.

Poiseuille · 10-07-2018, 06:26 PM

imho the best driver won this race. HOWEVER, the most entertaining drive by far was Daniel Ricciardo holding a clinic while coming through the field from the back. I would very much like to see Daniel in a Ferrari.

These are my favorite moments, and honestly, this was probably the best race of the year so far:

1) Daniel Ricciardo wrecking the field

2) Max Verstappen not giving a shit who was next to him

3) Kevin Magnussen doing Kevin Magnussen things

Yeah, when they're try to sound excited over the battle for 12th you know it's not a great race. Vettel looses his cool yet again. At this rate, Kimi will end up with more points.

You think Alonso would do Indy if he got a seat in a Mercedes or even a Red Bull?
