You should. He didn't. It was a panic move by Kimi. He was nowhere near the racing line.
Even if Kimi wasn't there at all do you actually think Perez would have made that chicane?

He said it, didn't smile whatsoever, then gave a slight smile as he left the interview. Its a bit different.He did say it with a grin afterwards. He didn't actually look to mad, I ve seen Kimi much, much angrier in WRC.
But why cant drivers just say what they want to say, I would rather see drivers say what they mean then pussyfooting around. They asked Kimi a question, is he rather suppose to lie?

Secondly, good for Sergio. He reminds me of Mansell in the old days. He is fearless and does not care who is in front. If it's a WDC or not makes no difference to him. He follows the Senna principle: If you are a racing driver you have to go after a gap that exist. He still needs to refine his craft, but I think that so far is very promising.
Keep pushing Sergio!!

First to ONE: You are a racist idiot!!

What's gutting me is that those &%$§$ stewards even punished Alonso for "cutting the chicane", and ordered him to let Perez overtake then. So they even encourage that Kamikaze kid for his reckless driving. All Alonso did was to avoid a collision, he had no place to go anywhere.
And then Perez does the same with Raikkonen, and Raikkonen of course cuts also the chicane to avoid a collision. So why didn't they punish Raikkonen as well, it was exactly the same situation as with Alonso? Terrible, inconsistent judging of the stewards.
And for ruining Raikkonen's race then, he really should have gotten a drive through penalty, but nothing, they let him get away with everything. I'm really glad that he couldn't finish the race in the end, it's at least some compensating justice.
As for Raikkonen's "slap in the face" comment: Yeah, he's exactly right. Niki Lauda also wholeheartedly agreed with him...

Kimi is the idiot here. And for this type of comments I hope these WDC points cost him dearly.If Kimi was nowhere near.... I wonder where was 'The Idiot'??

The trouble is, the gap that might have been there at the 100 metere board wasn't there when it needed to be, as for his craft, what craft ? Needlecraft ?

Who's Kimmi?All that whining!!
They are racing. It's disappointing to see so many guys here crying because a driver is aggressive in the track. I get that some of you are british and don't like that Sergio is challenging Button.
But remember that Senna was criticized many times for "crashing too much" also. And if I remember correctly, he turned out to be a pretty good driver, right?
Sergio has been consistently improving. If he continues like that he may become a real prospect. None of the other "new guys" seem to have the "fire inside" like Checo does.
I enjoy watching him race. And as a disclaimer: I am a Kimmi fan!

or at least partially to blame...you can't do that and get away with it, the car on the inside has nowhere to go.If everyone would be allowed to change line under braking you would never see an overtaking maneuvre. Kimis was in the wrong there.

You don't have to necessarily close the gap, if you know that diving into the inside any later would mean you won't make the corner. That's why drivers sometimes boldly take the outside line even though there is a car behind. A sensible driver knows if the gap is enough to make the move stick or not. He already tried once and that's exactly what happened, Perez forced both of them off the track. Yeah may be, with idiots like Perez behind you, you don't risk and expect that kind of estimation from them, Kimi should have taken the inside line long before.or at least partially to blame...you can't do that and get away with it, the car on the inside has nowhere to go.
If you don't want perez there CLOSE the gap before the braking starts

Personally, I reckoned Kimi should have let him bye earlier. Then he would have taken Hamilton out for him and Kimi would have been 4th.

but there was quite a difference between the GRO incidents and the PER incidents todayWhat everyone should ask is why Perez wasn't penalized, and why Mclaren got benefited by stewards.
I am seeing in Perez a new Grosjean.
