So you suggest that Kimi should just have gone out of the way for Perez? And if he defends he gets crashed out for defending his position.
Yeah, what Kimi did was really bad, he should have thought of the championship and let Perez past. (sarcasm)
You're saying that it's basically: let him passed or get whacked.
This is unreasonable in my eyes. Just because Perez is a hothead you shouldn't let him past just to be safe. IMO, it should be possible that a driver can fight with someone without assaulting someone like Perez did. Perez was so far back, if you have seen the whole onboard.
It is, but thats the precedence the FIA have set. You can barge up the inside, force a car to go off track and win the position. I mean lets be honest, its a racing incident, in monaco. Stupid by Perez, but its a racing incident. Problem is it cost Kimi 8 points which is a shame.
But the fact is, if that was barriers, he wouldn't even try it there. because its not, he can barge freely and say 'well I divebombed that corner its an overtake', when the overtake only happens because you crowd a car off track.
In hindsight, year, Kimi should've just not bothered fighting, because in defending all he did was lose 8 points and get hit. Alonso said after the race he didnt bother racing cars who have nothing to lose when he has a championship to fight. It doesnt help in the slightest, and the sentiment isn't right, but it makes sense. lose 2 points over 8 points and an accident.
This is why Monaco shouldnt be on the calendar. Sunday is the most disapointing day of all.
