Brazil vs. USA - Nov 7, 2010
in Formula 1 ·
I’ve been reading through some of these little essays you guys have been putting together, so I figured I’d finally jump in. I watched the race and went back to check out the replay footage from every angle, and honestly, I don't get how anyone can claim Webber is solely to blame for that collision. At most, you could call it a 50-50 split, but if anything, Vettel might be more at fault, certainly not less. If you look at the other clip, it’s pretty obvious that Vettel was driving like he was behind the wheel of an Abrams tank, acting like he could just force his way into the corner by widening his racing line—I mean, pulling a move like that when you're pushing north of 186 miles/h in that section? Webber didn't even have time to react. Webber left enough room for Vettel on the side, he didn't squeeze him off onto the grass, and that's really all there is to it.
