If anyone doesn't think this kind of move can be dangerous take a look at the accident that happened to Chris Van Der Drift in the Superleague race today:

Holy f---.

For those asking: Chris van der Drift is conscious, suspected broken leg at the moment. http://twitter.com/dank_ross

There's already a poll on James Allen's website:

The results are pretty damning.

He looked in his mirrors tosee Rubens up his inside and then moved across.

Terrible driving. He's a f**king danger out there!!

He's too slow and a liability. He could have killed someone today. How long till he gets his licence removed. When he takes someone's life??

Fair point from Eddie Jordan - the stewards need to take a stand on this. Vettel's chop on Alonso was questionable too, they need to be harsh on Schu to stop this becoming commonplace.

He's just told the BBC that he went so far to the right to make it obvious to Rubens that he was leaving a gap to the left
Why are drivers so insistent on taking the inside line? Rubens could easily faked to the inside and weave and consider the outside.

Massa passed Webber using pit exit in Fuji 2008 and yet he was criticised for it.

Kazuki caused his crash in Brazil when it was blatant Koby had the inside covered.

I really didn't see any difference between that move and the one than Vettel made at the start of the last race (beside the fact that they were traveling faster). And yes Mike deserves a penalty!

To be fair, these kind of moves are commonplace because action was not taken many years ago to prevent it.

So its OK for Webber to give Vettel as little room as possible in Turkey and yet the majority put the blame squarely on Vettel.

yep RB has all four wheels off the racing surface.....illegal pass

Seriously, this is very dangerous, but this kind of stuff has been going on for quite sometime, lead by webber.


this practice of blocking as well as the practice of not yielding should be stopped .... a long time ago

This is what Indycar had to put up with last week:

Webber didn't force Vettel off track. From the photo above Michael forced Rubens outside the white line which designates the track.

The two incidents are different. Webber didn't move his car, Vettel chose to go for a tiny gap then turned back into Webber.

Same in Monza 2008. However it has to be pointed out that what people post in here is a case of bias first and foremost.

An absurd decision that was, correctly IMHO, criticised.

They are putting the blame on Vettel today too, for giving Webber place to breath at the restart after the team failed to call him for pit stop.

Webber might be a good driver and an OK person, his fans though
