    I'd, say 80% vettel 20% raikkonens fault tbh.

    Though the spin after was 100% vettels... Unless suspension damage?

    I must still be asleep and dreaming as I'm sure I just saw Palmer overtake a Mercedes.

    Vettel may have just ended the season.

    Needs a DNF for Lewis now just to have a chance.

    What a stupid move.

    Monaco 84 all over again.

    He'll be catching Hamilton for the lead just before the race gets stopped.

    He was definitely the cause of his own demise.

    Took out two other potential race winners as well. Such a shame for the race.

    Not sure it's that clear, will have to wait until the stewards have seen all the data. Ultimately the leading car is entitled to move over as every pole sitter does. Don't think he jinks, looks like a progressive move and the contact looks like Max tagging Kimi's rear who then hits Seb.

    Race over. Season over. Crown Hamilton now.

    My prediction max would hit someone came true. I don't think you could call it really his fault alone though. It was very tight and he got squeezed.

    Wing damage. Greasy track. Car pouring it's guys out under the rest tyres.

    Spin was inevitable.

    Must be close for slicks.

    not a huge amount of spray now.

    I think it just one of those things, maybe Max could of yielded to Kimi earlier and avoided contact, but that's a tough call within 25 meteres of the start. But on the flip side Max is involved in a lot of contact situations and I thought Horners comments after Quali was inappropriate myself.

    Massa has been far more dangerous. Shouldn't squeeze people at high speed like he had been.

    Nothing Max could do. He had a run on Vettel and had no reason to yield.

    He gets some stick, but in this case Vettel squeezed him into Kimi and the pit wall.

    If Vettel keeps his line, they would all still be in the race.

    It's not like he's done something no one does, in fact they pretty much all do that. does no one remember Rosberg and Hamilton having their cars aimed at each other on the grid? The 'problem' was Kimi nailing the start and putting himself between Max and the wall as Seb was moving left, just as Max realises Kimi is on his left and moves right.

    Massa needs to go to spec-savers, already hit Vandoorne earlier under the SC, which brings up this question:

    Ricciardo overtook Hamilton on track under SC conditions

    Massa hit Vandoorne under SC conditions

    Which one gets the 10second drive-through as per Baku?

    No excuse for Bottas to be so far behind Hamilton and Ricciardo so far. At least conditions like this separates the greats from the very good. Yes, Hamilton is at the front but should Ricciardo really be 4.46 seconds behind Hamilton in a car better suited to this track than the Mercedes?

    Massive freebie for Hamilton here, whether he wins or dnfs. Impressed he's pulling away from Ricciardo, thought Dan would be nailed on for an easy win with no max or Ferraris. We'll have to see when it dries out.

    Magnusson in too early I think.

    Lap 28 I think is the change-over

    Hamilton starting to run away now. Remarkable pace.

    I don't see why Vettel should not defend, like Ern says every pole man moves across.
