Yikes. Please discuss the start here.

[bernardv]

Switched off the TV.

[SCUDmissile]

Could have been a 1-2 going into first turn. He didn't have to squeeze anyone he'd have been first in that corner.

[ckolcz]

What the **** was that?

[Claudiu]

Vettel made a big error judgement! Now the championship is gone.
What a shame...

[ckolcz]

There goes Vettel championship by the way.

[Dimocash]

Wow....just wow.... what could sebastian and Verstappen do??
What a shame

[pdac]

Yikes indeed.

[acf69]

Before the Ricciardo fans bask in glory, 100% Raikonnen killing both Vettel, Alonso and Max' race. What an idiot...

[Claudius]

Wtf? I don't think Vettel saw Kimi on the inside and squezed Max who had nowhere to go...
Too bad.

[Cliff]

Idiots. And dan lucking into it again while getting destroyed all year long...

[grunge]

Cant fault anyone there... if anything, Vettel shouldnt have gone for that squeeze

What a shame...

 

From the onboard, there was not much he could have done. Vettel went left still in the lead. The collision was then between Max and Kimi, which meant they could not break and damaged Vettel's rear.

Seb you stupid bastard. Could have been a 1-2 going into first turn. He didn't have to squeeze anyone he'd have been first in that corner.

Raikkönen would've still spun into him...

[LB]

Vettel's to blame

[velorex]

and again ... I'm sure the same ones as always will say it was Max' fault ...

[carbonfibre]

Jezus raikonen thanks a lot this is getting sad.

[jwill189]

Not like he deserved it anyway.

[Marklar]

Zero fault for Verstappen. Kimi too optimistic and Vettel choped. So it's all down on Ferrari.

The conditions were probably the biggest problem though.

[MensRea]

That's how a championship goes away in 5 seconds

[ckolcz]

Vettel didn't see Kimi and squeezed Verstappen and it all kicked off.

[Jyrjo]

Vettel - Verstappen - Wall - Räikkönen.. in the order of blame. 

[ckolcz]

Not like he deserved it anyway.

He's been great all season.

Disagree. It was Vettel's fault. But I don't think he knew Kimi was alongside Max. Racing incident. Gutted for Max.

[Freeze011]

Just amazing... just amazing...

[grunge]

Raikkönen would've still spun into him...

im not saying Vettel was to fault for that incident but clearly if anyone had more part in causing the collision of all three, it was Vettel

[Massa]

Thanks Vettel. Stupid mistake.

[pdac]

Vettel didn't see Kimi and squeezed Verstappen and it all kicked off.

 

Start of the race. Vettel should not have assumed that no one was there.

[Kao18]

Un be lievable!

 

Wtf were the Ferrari's doing, sandwiching Max like that. Nowhere to go.

 

This has to be a very big penalty for Raikkonen.

 

Another race and even possible win destroyed for Max, just when you think it can't get much worse....

[anbeck]

Vettel, you won't be champion like this.

[Claudiu]

This is rain for you... A lottery, Max did nothing wrong actually, there should have been a SC start in my view but it doesn't count for **** now. Congrats to Lewis for his 4th title... Better luck next year I guess!

[smr]

I feel a bit empty now weve lost both ferrari drivers and alonso

[as65p]

Nevermind.

Kimi turned too soon, got caught in Verstappen, spun into Vettel. 

[Kelateboy]

It has ended in tears. I hope it rains harder because we need Hamilton not to win this one.

[maaaarsh]

Vettel can crash in to cars on purpose without a serious penalty, so no chance they hit him here regardless of the merits.

[Peat]

Raikkonen 'too optimistic'??? Perhaps motor racing isn't the sport for you.

Racing incident. If you HAD to apportion blame, it's on Vettel. 


Very low expectations for this race now. What a waste.

[noikeee]

I don't think I could've imagined a start scenario that I wanted less to happen that that (well, other than someone getting injured). Both Ferraris, golden chance to win and close up the championship gone; Alonso with a brilliant chance of best result of the season gone; another major challenge to Hamilton and Mercedes and for a race win gone in Max. And it seemed like possibly a wee bit more Kimi's fault than the others.

I guess that's a likely 1 on the satisfaction rating for the Voting championship then. Go Ricciardo now.

[dimoose]

I actually think Kimi did nothing wrong. Max moved into kimi (because Seb squeezed him)

[grunge]

Zero fault for Verstappen. Kimi too optimistic and Vettel choped. So it's all down on Ferrari.

The conditions were probably the biggest problem though.

Kimi saw a clear gap ahead with more than a cars width...every single car in that position will go for that.

[Cenotaph]

Tbh, Vettel didn't do anything that he doesn't do every start. I think VER definitely panicked unnecessarily. He had room

[Dabash]

This is the same exact scenario of Spa 2016

[ferrarista]

It has ended in tears. I hope it rains harder because we need Hamilton not to win this one.

when you see the rain in singapore with a ferrari on pole you know its gone. Umbelievable.

[Disgrace]

Initially I called it Verstappen but it's a racing incident. That said, no sympathy for Vettel. He couldn't see Kimi but it's nice to see these bully tactics backfire.

Watch it again. It was Vettel who caused the contact not Kimi. Poor Max got squeezed into Kimi.

[John B]

Well, Hamilton was asked if the length of the race made it possible for something to work for his advantage yesterday.....(took all of 30 sec)

[Lights]

This never ends. I guess good on Ric for staying out of trouble? 

But seriously, I don't find Max to blame for this. Such a shame this keeps happening to him while he did so well to outqualify Ric again. And again Ric is the one with the points. It's tiring.

[Claudiu]

Kimi turned too soon, got caught in Verstappen, spun into Vettel.

Actually I agree, Kimi turned too soon and clipped Max tire, but if Kimi would not have been there Max could have steered left.

Stupid chain of events really but it's just the way it is.

[Ivanhoe]

Spa 2016 revisited, with now Max in the middle of the sandwich.

[Lights]

This is the same exact scenario of Spa 2016

 

This. With the same drivers and the same driver at fault (Vettel squeezing).
