I know I am most likely in the minority with my opinion. But that's what makes this debating all so much fun  |
It was actually Webber not DC.... Webber was all over Hamilton till the pace car came out, in second place, IIRC Red Bull was not a happy place after the incident, 2 potential podiums blown away by an inexperienced Vettel.
Sure, Hammy was offline and slowed dramatically but, as in real life, you rear end someone and YOU are to blame : )
