I honestly couldn't care less about that guy.
Ricci is on a whole different level.

Try hitting the grass at 124 miles mph and then fighting the oversteer to get back on track. How much control do you actually have over the car for the next 100 meters? Absolutely none. It’s hard for me to pin this on the Ferrari driver. And honestly, I hate seeing people break down footage frame by frame to analyze a driver's movements when, in real life, all of this happens unpredictably in just a second or two.
This whole way of looking at things isn't what racing is about. That should be the most important thing.
Right after that, though, you see Vettel fight off the oversteer and start pulling the wheel left to track along the curve—it looks like he’s finally got things under control.
But just a heartbeat later, instead of staying left, Vettel lets go of the wheel. This causes the car to drift hard to the right, completely blocking the line Hamilton would've taken if he actually had room to maneuver.
That specific move to straighten the wheel, which put Vettel into The path of Hamilton, is what everyone thinks led the stewards to their unanimous decision to penalize him.

Michael Jackson10 said:You had plenty of chances to see it all yourself. You watched the live broadcast, then you sat through the post-race studio analysis. They literally showed the telemetry—the way the steering input reacted to the car's position while he was fighting that snap oversteer. You saw him catch the rear end perfectly and keep his line. But of course, none of that matters to you. You’ve already made up your mind, and you aren't listening to anything else.
Look, you’ve got every right to your opinion, just like I’ve got every right to mine. ☕
