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.

But AS was clearly not in a backmarker position, he was up front running in the points, doing better than both Hondas...

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.

AS and KR were both trying to outbrake each other. But AS held his car together while KR didn't. Basically, AS took it to the limit while KR took it past the limit. And you guys are complementing KR and blaming AS? Unbelievable.

If you looked at the replay, it seemed like Kimi's right rear went through a wet spot as he braked, lost it, did a great job in recovering it but slid into Sutil.
This is racing and shit happens. I feel bad for Sutil but asking for Kimi to be punished is absurd.

^^^ KR drives for craparri, the crapfosi (even though half of the crapfosi also love other teams) will always defend the craparri drivers. It is only the Italian press who stab there drivers and team in the back when they suck!!!!
as I hate craparii, but hate Louise snivley hamilton far more, dont forgetthis:
last yr at this time, KR only had 1 win. canada will not be a KR fest either, but look for the drunk to win 4 out of 6 once they return to Europe.
Look for Louise to chock in england, as he cant handle the pressure at his home race, just like last year.

I didn't ask for him to be penalized. But this "blame the victim" stuff is getting laid on a bit thick. "If only AS hadn't been there, Kimi wouldn't have crashed into him. Clearly it's AS's fault...."
No one is blaming the victim. IMO no one is to blame, except the weather and bad luck.
