His mistake was possibly going a bit too hot behind the Ferraris by misjudging the braking there (imo understandable on lap 1 among the pack), he became a little disorientated around the next sequence of corners, fell back into the arms of that aul fella Ricciardo. There's lot of talk of marbles from the F2 race which was noted before the start and that, with an combination of his disorientation, meant that he slid a little too much and gave his sweat gargling teammate a hefty swipe. That's my take on it anyway.
I don't think it's a "school boy" error, I think it's a racing error -- Max's fault, yes -- but an error I wouldn't have punished. |

I'll stop making the school boy error joke then and he'll have to stop listening to The Undertones.

Can't be far away
Sad that we again missed seeing the RB boys going toe to toe. Daniel did well again. |

As a Dan Ric fan it has been paining me to see Max consistently looking quicker in qualifying. I did notice during the race yesterday something that suggests Dan may have reached a similar conclusion that Lauda reached against Prost, that he couldn't beat him in qualy so focussed on race set up. Did anyone else notice that the two Red Bulls were fastest in the speed trap during the race and Dan was 5km/h quicker than Max suggesting he was running with a bit less downforce on the weekend?
Of course the race results are cheering me up, even if you remove the impact of DNFs. Dan scoring an average of 14.4 points per race when he finishes. Max scoring 9.7 per race when he finishes. And even if you say Dan has profited by Max's retirements, picking up that one extra place can't explain a 5 point difference in average points scored In the 4 races they have both finished they are 2 wins each although a bit more patience from Max yesterday and it should have been him finishing ahead Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk |

Max had a great first lap, shame he threw it away with that collision with Massa. He should have been more patient like Ricciardo was
