Malaysian GP 2017

[carl12359]

I did enjoy yesterday's Formula 1 race in Malaysia. The Sepang Circuit is wide enough to allow passing and I'll 

admit I'm a fan of 20 year old Max Verstappen. I really hope that a deal can be worked out to bring F1 back to

Malaysia in the future. The only thing that bothered me was the post race lap where Vettel and Stroll collided.

It looked to me that Vettel, trailing Stroll, had wandered too far left and was at fault because Stroll was about as far

over to the left as possible and would have had to put his car on the grass to avoid the collision. I only saw one camera

angle on the incident. Has anyone seen other footage showing what happened as I'd be very interested in another opinion.

Yep, other camera angles show Stroll turning right for the left hand corner. Totally avoidable by both drivers - 50:50 blame.

Agreed 50:50

Looks like he doesn't turn right at all but just held his line through the corner from his in car footage and Vettel just drifted into him.

Pretty sure you're not permitted to overtake post chequered flag anyway. From the onboard live I thought it was Vettle's fault.

Blame Vettel. Who cares really?

There's a conspiracy theory that, after Vettel's problems in practice, the team swapped his and Kimi's cars over which is why Kimi had his problem.  The  theory goes on to suggest that Vettel crashed on the slowing-down lap so it didn't have to go through scrutineering and have the deception discovered!
