Who's fault do you think it was?

Webber gave him enough room. He didnt try to cut him up when vettel started the move and kept his line during. Vettel clearly cut to the right and hit webber imo. If vettel had kept in a straight line he wouldve passed him fine.

 

Its just one of those things that happen in racing. Could have easily been avoided, but wasnt.

Just had another butchers of the accident on IPlayer. Vettel clearly turned off right into Webber when he should have kept it straight.Webber held his line giving Vettel the room to pass cleanly. So i put the blame at Vettels door.

IMO Vettel was 75% in the wrong, he did seem to turn into Webber, but on the other hand Webber didn't really give him much room to pass.

 

You need to remember this is the F1 though. To these guys, all they need is an inch or two, if that. The room that webber gave vettel was fairly generous in my eyes. In most cases, a driver in webbers position would cut across to block before vettel even got the chance to get alongside. To me it didnt seem like webber made it difficult for him at all.

 

Im sure you all saw the battle with button and hamilton soon after. Same circumstances and some of there moves were even closer at times than vettel, but because they followed there lines and didnt try to pull any crazy tricks (like driving into your teammate lol) it didnt have the same outcome.
