@ArminAddict You don't understand the concept of high speed turns do you? He hit the corner at a sharper angle meaning he would come out wider if he continued turning he would simply spin, and In all honesty that is he racing line and Kimi as much as I think he is great shouldn't of put his car there.

Totally sutil's fault. After he saw kimi he decreased steering wheel angle in order to push him out.

@ididi9 High speed turns? I fail to understand how the Castrol S is a high speed turn..

[ididi9]

@lambosforusal Look at ANYONE going around that corner, Their steering does the same. In racing it is the job of the overtaking to avoid an accident during overtaking and Sutil stuck to the line and followed it through and he had the right to be there

@ididi9 I'm sorry, but kimi didn't tried, he succeeded! the only one with a problem is sutil in this video, not kimi. there WAS space because kimi made it, and on top of that when they hit eachother sutil was behind raikonnen. Look at the stearing wheel of sutil, the strealing angle degreases until he drives into raikonnen. then he steers back to the inside.

@ididi9 All Kimi did was go round the outside.

There's plenty of space there for that.

Having the inside is an advantage, allows you to usually go round the corner quicker, doesn't forbid another driver to go round the outside for a pass.

You would be right had Kimi turned in on Sutil but he didn't, he went round the outside side but side.

That's what racing is all about.

This accident was the result of Sutil deliberately going wide on corner exit.

You can clearly see him do that.

@christosswc Any corner this applies to and anyway, He came out of the pits on the inside, That means he already has the right to the track position, On cold tyres and follow the line around the corner, Kimi tried to take the position when there was simply no space

[christosswc]

@ididi9 What high speed corner, are you kidding me?

It's pretty obvious they touched because he tried to push Kimi as wide as possible.

@christian86a He could have not gone much slower.

[christian86a]

@AlexZAfRo It really makes no difference even if it was hairpin turn. Like i say if car dont have grip he need to go slower so he can handle his car and keep his line.

[AlexZAfRo]

@christian86a he couldnt turn in any more cold tires and a very tight turn 1 kimi really should have left room.
