some say it is legal, but I think he should have been penalized, since he got a way better exit and taking much more speed than the others who were "on" the track.
Kimi did the same a few years ago in the McLaren.
He might have planned this before and it gave him an advantage, noyt because he could carry extra speed but he could deploy KERS with a clear track unlike for eg hamilton who had a red bull infront of him when he used KERS after the hairpin..
Kimi only used KERS from radillon.

I don't think he planned it, but certainly when two cars closed the track in front of him he could have stay there and lost positions. Instead of that he took the outside and kept the position. Depends on if you believe or not if he had the chance of staying in the track or there was no way of not being hit.

Well, he said it himself, I read it in the transcript of the PC. And yes radillon is the top of the eau rouge.

He could stay on the track but that would of meant almost a full stop. Not safe either for the people coming from the back.

I dont think going off track to pass is illegal specially if you are talking a longer route..i think sutil went utside the track on the exit of pouhon to pass badoer as well..

Sorry for coming back on old discussions. But on following picture it's very easy to see that Grosjean had nowhere to go when Button closed the door ...

Grosjean shouldn't be there, he hasn't got the racing line, Button has. Grosjean is very wrong here

at the start of a grad prix there are 20 cars, they are more focused on gaining or stop losing positions rather than looking after the racing line. It was a racing incident. Grosjean spun Button and then Button collected Grosjean as he went to the barrier.

Because Button is British and Kimi won the race. Again, many drivers go wide in that corner each year but it's just when their hated driver wins that the outrage starts.
