Alvin, when you look at the replay from inside Vettel's car, on the second contact, there was a car on the inside of that sweeper turn, which is a very high g's, that swerved a tiny bit, and Vettel lifted for a fraction of a second, then Kvyat hit him. I honestly think it was a racing incident. Vettel was overreacting, but I understand his anger at having been punted on lap 1.
It's ironic that Kvyat hit him (twice) after hitting him on lap 1 at the last race. I think Kvyat is a very talented driver. It's a coincidence he just happened to run into the same guy (Vettel) twice in two races. Also sort of ironic that Kvyat drives Vettel's old Red Bull car! Lewis Hamilton had an amazing race, and Rosberg is unbeatable right now. I realy thought the Ferrari's were going to be competition for the Mercedes this year, but it appears they still have a big advantage. I wonder how many more wins in a row Rosberg will get?
Kvyat seemed annoyed at the reporters asking him about the OTHER crash he caused (not Vettel's) where the FIA penalized him. He's having a bad time right now, and I think he's one of these guys that reads all his social media feeds and it bothers him that he's made to look like a bad driver.
Remember a few years ago when Grosjean was the goat because he ran into Alonso in consecutive races?
Great race though, and congrats to Rosberg, Hamilton, and Kimi.
