So is this Vettels fault? He turned in a bit early pushing Raikonnen into Verstappen who had a gap wich he took. However Vettel couldn't have know Verstappen was next to Raikonnen so he thinks he is in the right.

It wasn't even a divedomb.

98% of the car on the curb, right on the wall. Zero steering angle at a point where the corner has already begun because he just goes straight at the apex.

But not a divebomb.

Ok.

Except he had a significant portion of the car alongside before the corner (he was alongside before or at the rolex clock thing in the pit lane). And don't tell me people don't run the kerb there if they're on the inside on the first lap anyway. Besides, if Vettel had not turned down on Kimi then all three would've gotten through unscathed.
