Quite astonishing that normal folk can even disagree with the opinions of professional racing drivers. If DC and MB said it's '100% Vettels fault' then who are we to argue? Jesus. People are arguing for the sake of arguing now. Webber doesnt have to move if there isn't room to overtake. Which there wasn't, otherwise why did Vettel get half way past and then crash into him? If Vettel wants to try that shit he has to do it in a way so he can come out the other end safely. Which he didn't. Vettel is frustrated as hell at the moment, what with his mechanical failures. He wanted to save face by giving it his all and redeeming himself and got it wrong.
Basically this statement is the thread summary

Formula one is so boring compared to Moto GP even though I try and watch it here and there.. just barely any overtaking and red bull seem to be miles ahead (most of the time)

That's all well and good, but Horner and Marko think it was Webber's fault for pushing Vettel into the situation.

And MotoGP is boring compared to Moto2
Which is boring compared to WSB...
Wheres the line??
F1 accident, imo its no-ones fault. Its a simple racing incident. end of story. There is no blame.
Vettel was going for the lead, Webber didn't want to let it go and was justified in holding his line. It was down to Vettel to finish the move. He thought he was further ahead than he was, tried to move back to the clean line, didn't do it right, the cars clashed, one was out of the race.
IMO the blame game is silly in this incident. Its a racing accident.
Webber SHOULD have given his team mate more room, but, also Vettel knew it was a rubbish bit of track to be on and would never stop in time for the hairpin. He either aborted, or held his position of which he done neither.
Both drivers at fault, racing accident, poor team managment so IMO its the team managers fault. racing drivers will race end of story.
Lewis almost took out Jenson, he didn't want to let the position up. They are racers, no-one wants to be 2nd.
