Shame on Kimi for what he did at the Monaco GP! Adrian Sutil worked so hard to come up to P4 and points that were so crucial to the team and Kimi, lost it under braking and crashes into him. What a SHAME !?!? World Champion my ass !! I hope he gets penalized for doing what he did. That was sad to see what happened to Sutil.

 

hes not going to get pentalized. it was an amazing display of car control on KR's part for him not to smoke the wall and end up perpendicular to it and bring out a safety car. Sutil was an innocent bystander that was delt the short end of the stick.

 

Totally agree. And if you look at replays....Sutil didn't exactly nail that turn either....it looks like he went in too hot looking in his rearview. It was very subtle, and you could have missed it as a viewer. It looks to me like he shouldn't have been where Kimi was headed and should have already been in the turn, and thus, Kimi would have flown through that run off area.

 

In the future all Monaco GPs will be held in the rain. If its NOT raining, they will park the cars and wait til it rains. If this pushes the rest of the season back, so be it. If it causes the principality to shut down for weeks at a time, so be it. It will not inconvience the drivers much, as most of them live there. Kimi may however die from repeated, drunken falls from a yacht into the harbor. Drunken harbor diving will henceforth be part of Monaco's "mystique".

Thank you for your attention to these important rule changes

 

Well, I agree that it was a shame to end Sutil's race that way, since he finally made it past the first lap.

I do agree that it was amazing car control (after loosing car control) on Kimi's part. It will be interesting to see how they rule on this. I think in the end, they will chalk it up to a racing incident.

so as stated be4, kimi is not being penalized for the accident.

 

Poor Sutil.

 

why would Kimi get penalized for the incident? just because poor old Sutil and Force India are backmarkers and dont have any points and this was their only shot? boo hoo. it sucks for both of them, but if Kimi were to get penalized then so should Kovalainen and Alonso for crashing into others.

overall, this was a great race...very exciting, except for stupid Hamilton winning.

 

I'm definitely a fan

 

I totally agree. My take is AS was going in way too hot, KR was chasing him looking for a chance to pass, KR discovered AS was going in too hot before AS did. KR got on the brakes and it was just too much braking given the lack of traction and the car slipped out from under him. And even with the great car control, AS was in the way and KR got him. I suspect if KR had not lost it, AS would have straight-lined that corner. And to your point, if AS had made the corner, KR would have had the needed run-off area to get his car back under control.

When it comes to rear end collisions, this one was rather tame and really looked like a racing incident.
