Totally Vettels fault but I was really surprised at Mark. No matter who is on your inside going into a tight left, the best thing to do is move out wide and hope for a cut-back pass coming out of the corner. Again, totally Vettels fault but I think smart driving from Mark could have avoided the accident.
I would personally keep the other guy on the dirty side (as in not move over - yet) so he is more likely to blow his braking point.  Mark could that way have still veered right at the last moment to take the cut-back pass anyhow...don't forget they were still far away from the braking points.

Back in the deep dark past, I went to the SCCA marshalling school where we were taught the driver attempting the pass is the controlling driver and it is his job to get by cleanly. By that logic, Vettel is to blame. Further, Mark has a reputation for not giving an inch and Vettel should be aware of that. Let's see, Dietrich is Austrian, Marko is German, Vettel is German, do I detect a bit of Chauvinism here?
Lonny

exactly Lonny, and we all know what happens to a driver if he has a reputation for backing off when challenged. Vettel placed his car in a position that challenged Mark to back off or face a collision. Mark showed the upstart he was not backing off and the spoilt prat fell for it.

you only had to watch the kid's body language and disgusting demeanor after quali on Saturday to know he might try something desperate on Sunday to cement his failing and rapidly falling reputation.

he has now replaced fernando ALONSO as my 'driver who is very easy to dislike' and he will remain as such until he grows up and shows some class and character

and as for Mr HORNER my comments are unprintable.

Just a quick reminder to anyone new to this post that those two two "no" votes are actually "yes" votes from two of us that were too quick on the draw!  :-[
