    Seems as though the bad luck for Vettel in Singapore may be the final nail in the coffin for the WDC.  Unless he can pull off a miracle finish of the calendar, of course.

    Hamilton has had his fair share of bad luck last year. I don't think that Vettel can put his hope up.

    Re: 2017 Malaysian F1 Grand Prix at Sepang

    I like Vettel but he is not as stable as Hamilton. There have been several incidents indicating that he is fragile. The latest being the post-race crash yesterday.

    Ferrari? Honestly,  I don't think they could win titles when faced with a superior automotive organization like Mercedes-AMG. Beating Mercedes over a whole season would have been a major upset.

    Stupidest accident...

    BTW did Ferrari change something with the turbos? both cars had turbo problems but were quite competitive otherwise?

    More performance traded for less reliability? Any theory?

    Re: 2017 Malaysian F1 Grand Prix at Sepang

    I don't know! It looked to be Vettels at first, but if you look closely at his onboard, you see that Stroll is running wide a bit as well... don't know how seriously though. Is there any broadcasting of Stroll's onboard?

    Re: 2017 Malaysian F1 Grand Prix at Sepang

    Vettel was also "running wide" in Singapur, which caused them to crash, but this time, it's the other way around. Funny that in neither cases he thinks he was to blame.

    I don't particularly like Vettel, but I think Stroll is to blame, he never checked before he moved over, really, Vettel is in a bring red car, quite hard to miss one would think, hell, most of Vettel's car is already in front of Stroll when he hit him.

    Onboard from Stroll. From this I would say Vettel's fault.

    Re: 2017 Malaysian F1 Grand Prix at Sepang

    Yeah, saw it as well... I honestly don't understand why Vettel didn't see him.
    I mean; he wouldn't have run into Stroll on purpose. Stroll was just driving there, nothing weird. Only conclusion is that Vettel moved over because he didn't know Stroll was there... but he just overtook him! As the experienced driver he should have known he was there... Well, like I said, completely weird!

    This is Vettel's PoV:

    Re: 2017 Malaysian F1 Grand Prix at Sepang

    Both of them were on a steady course around the corner, both have a steady arc they had chosen, but the 2 arcs intersect and both had expected the other to change course to avoid collision.

    Stroll was ahead and figured he has the right of way, Vettel was the veteran and had expect Stroll the rookie to move out of his way.

    Ego clashes so as cars. FIA didn't punish either of them and that should have tell the story.

    For safety reasons, my track has a no passing on cool down laps, not sure why FIA didn't implement that in F1.
