Was Vettel at fault?

When SV passed Karthikeyan on Lap 48 and ended up bursting his tyre, who WAS to blame?

After overtaking NK, SV pulled across in front of him taking the latter's front wing end plate off and bursting his own tyre.

How then can SV try and blame NK.

When you pass someone, you are by definition going faster than them. When you pull back onto the racing line you should make sure you have enough room to do so. It would appear from the footage SV didn't do this.

The finger will be nowhere without his blown defuser!

A McLaren will win the drivers championship and constructors

Disagree with Button, given a perfect car he is the best in the world. However give him a car with slight problems, or on a wet track he isnt really in his element and is where the really top drivers excel.

Vettel was completely at fault for the accident and has been acting like a spoilt brat. He will not be in the top 4 this year.
The race goes to show what many have been saying, SV's race craft is no where near the rest of the world champions on that grid and if it wasnt for Newey he wouldn't be talked to of in the same breath as Hamilton, Alonso et al.

JB might not be number 1 but he would be a dam sight further down the road than Vettel would be!

Oh, I dunno.... I saw a lot of it in Malaysia, one way or another.

I disagree about Button being overrated.

13 wins from 44 podium finishes, a World Championship and twice he's had a World Champion as a teammate and beaten them over the course of a season.

Credit where it's due. :/

Nice counter argument Red Indian

Button is an excellent driver and has matured with age. The only weakness he has is not being able to ride around problems with his car, something Alonso does perfectly and Hamilton can do as well.

Vettel is overrated and Webber should have actually been world champion 2 years ago but for a dodgy pit stop.

RedBull put all their resources into supporting this avergae driver and had a car with a blown diffuser, movable floor and flexiwings in a bid to dominate F1.

Luckily the rule makers have removed those toys. Lets see how good he is without them.

Early signs do not look positive.
