Complete bull. So every attempted pass inevitably results in a crash? There's nothing inevitable about a driver who consciously decides to make illegal moves to block any passing.

What risk did RIC take? He had much more speed, and he was in-control enough to change from an outside to inside pass. To say this was a risk, is to admit that VER is too reckless to pass; and if so, he shouldn't be driving in F1.

It seemed like they could have put him on the ultra-softs (even if it meant extending the yellows further) which would have put him in a good position for the end of the race.

Vettel was once-again screwed by the safety car appearance, which put him in an unfavorable position, which couldn't have been predicted.
