If you ask me its a racing incident.. its pretty much Vettel going wide but turning in so he won't lose pace when he takes the corner and not knowing that Max was in between the wall and Raikkonen so yeah. Max went in aswell but tbh who wouldn't? Raikkonen couldn't do shit about it and Vettel pretty much thought that Raikkonen had no one to his right or closed the gap.

A lot of drivers. Having a bad start is annoying, but dive-bombing three wide at the inside of la source is not a smart thing to do. It's a very incident prone first corner.

He got frustrated by his start, lost his cool, took risks and had to face the consequences.
