Kimis start was actually ridiculously well.

Starting an online match in F1 2017 be like...

Such a shame that Alonso was involved, he had such a good qualifying (for McLaren)

"Objects in mirror are closer than they appear"

I will never understand how there are people that blame Max for this. In my opinion it is a racing incident. Vettel perhaps squeezed too much, but I honestly think that he didn't see where Kimi was. Max had nowhere to go, and slamming on the brakes is as risky as holding a line. Unfortunate for all involved =(, including us fans.

Rip championship battle. I'm really fucking pissed about this crash.

I say this because he was ok but it was kind of cool when Max was on the radio and he got hit again, and you could hear him grunt.

Alonso was going right into P3... another unlucky day unfortunately, for a lot of drivers. I don't really follow Palmer, but happy he got a good result.

Another amazing start from the best driver! ALONSO

I can just imagine Hamilton shouting YES YES YES! in his cockpit. 😂😂

The sound of Hulkenberg´s engine is broken.

Alonso... Poor Alonso

Clearly Maldonado's fault

I am Ferrari fan, but how can they blame Max for this is beyond me >.

Alonsos Fault!

Maldanado must be proud

Ricciardo had the best view of the whole thing and his was the one view we never saw.

Alonso got karma for being P4 in a McLaren Honda

Driver of the day: Jolyon palmer.

Vettel clearly wanted to block verstappen

Thanks for the original sounds! Love RAW!

At the end of the day you can say, that it was a racing incident. It was a really unfortunate situation. Vettel was the one who started it, but the thing is that he wasn't able to see Kimi. So it was not a move with the purpose of sandwiching Verstappen.

Here is my verdict on the accident in what has been a crazy Singapore gp. Vettel got a bad start when compared to max and max had a medicore start when compares to kimi. Sebastian seeing that max is closing on him does his trademark, micheal Schumacher esque, pit wall squeeze. At this point kimi, as he had the best start of everybody, is pretty much alongside max and is up against the edge of the track. He can only see max and is oblivious to vettle squeezing the pair of them. Max is in the middle of the track so he can see both Sebastian and kimi and knows he is about to get pincered so he tries to back off (check the telemetry) but as the rear tyres are bigger than the fronts max was screwed, the rest is history. IMO it is vettel's fault he took a big risk squeezing max and he hoped nobody was on max's inside but kimi was there. It is cause and effect if vettel did not squeeze no accident would have happened. Also, rip Alonso he could have been in second. Hamilton had a beast of a start in second gear. Now, if there aren't any more mechanical failures Lewis has won this championship. The 28 point lead covers the 14 points lewis could lose at the tracks mercedes are not strong at ie Mexico, Abu dhabi

Kimi's start would have been great if Seb had seen him coming. Seb's move would have been legit if Kimi wasn't already alongside Max. Max just found himself between the Ferraris' tires before he could react. Even though none of them acted wrong in any way, I still think Vettel's aggressive way to defend his position is the source of the crash. There's nothing Kimi and Max could have done to avoid this. It just wouldn't have happened if Seb kept his line and conceeded his position to Max, and afterwards to Kimi, since he would have got the advantage on both Seb and Max in the 1st corner.

Alonso just gets fucked every single race this year, apart from Budapest. Being 3rd and having a potential chance of scoring a good amount of points with both cars, and then out of nowhere he gets hit. It really hurts to be a Nando fan this year, like me :-(

RIP Vettel 2017

I'm really sorry for Fernando 🙁 he would be on P3 without the crash 😢

Alonso always with his bad luck, what exit !!!

0:23 Alonso was 3rd. 0:24 Alonso was out xD What a bad luck he has. I hope he could show one more time why he is a legend

Clearly Palmers fault

It's amazing to see how, on slippery and unpredictable conditions, Alonso always breaks the latest and turns in the latest and still gets away with it 99% of the time. He would have got away with it this time as well, if he hadn't been collected. I get the impression that he knew the risk was high (he could see there were cars out of control to his left), and still went for it because he didn't really care about finishing 7th or 8th. Which kind of sums up the guy. You have to admire him for his skill and his determination, but he can't help himself with his attitude and his big mouth. McLaren really needed to score those points, they can still make a difference in the constructors', but he preferred to go after the big result that he so desperately wants, instead of playing it safe. And yet, I would still pick him and his attitude any day of the week over some veteran who clearly is just racing for the big money... I guess I can't decide if I love or I hate the guy, can I?

Verstappen even tried to brake when he Noticed it would end badly: look at his revs and listen to the engine! Sadly it was too late :/

I can understand why a racing incident was called on this now thanks to seeing all angles. And understand Hamilton and Vettel's response too. Thanks Liberty Media keep it up.

You know, the V6 onboards sound really good. Just saying, I really like the low pitch grumble--yes the V10s sounded amazing, but the V6 has a special sound of its own. Watch with headphones and you'll understand what I'm getting at.

VET and RAI didn't know where each other was, and VET did the typical singapore squeeze done by anyone (google any singapore race start, like 2010), VER saw VET coming and slightly move over and then maintained a straight line, while RAI never changed direction, he assumed VER would give him the space considering its a left turn, and they continued in the same direction until they contacted. Racing incident.

Kimi was way faster than Vettel and Max. Even if Max would've avoided by braking a bit, Vettel would be brushing on Kimi's wheels. It looked as if Vettel was aware that he's not gonna make it to the first corner. The blocking move was a bit too soon.

It was a racing incident, and if anyone is at fault, it would be Vettel. Not Kimi, not Max. It was all Sebastian Vettel. I have respect for Sebastian, but stuff happens.

It is vettel . But no one can blame him because he didn't knew Kimi was coming and was alongside max.

Vettel! What a fail!

Somewhere Maldonado shed a tear over the beauty of their work.

So for me it looks like the first hit was from Rai left backwheel and Ver right frontwheel so it´s mostly his fault I´d say. Even if it was risky from Vet to squeze Ver, Rai would have had a lot of space to the left without hiting Ver ( maybe he would have hit Vet then)

amazing fernando he is obviously the best... he broke very late when everyone was breaking. MAGIC ALONSO

Vettel starts off in 2nd gear to avoid wheel spin due to traction loss(so-so start). Max and Kimi start of in 1st.Vettel swerved left-->Max (eyes on Vettel) shadows Vettel--> Kimi monster start trying to overtake Max while setting up for the first turn so veers right clipping his right rear tyre on Max's left front tyre-->Vettel and Max moving left Kimi moving right for setup to turn one....sandwich Max in the middle-->Max lifts after contact from Kimi...Mayhem/Chaos/game over man!!! game over!

I've seen this footage about 50 times today. Everyone's saying RAI is keeping a straight line, but he isn't. He has a great start going in 1st gear as long as possible, then gets a kick from the engine when engaging 2nd gear. He corrects that. Next, from the moment he engages 3rd gear onwards, he is steering to the right, engages 4th, keeps moving to the right and then boom, he off-screen engages VER's front left wheel with his own right rear wheel. Why does RAI keep steering to the right while VER has made a clearly visible defensive move to the left. Because, IMHO, RAI is not contemplating VER's position at all when he gets alongside the Red Bull, but has set his mind already, only a little too soon, to leading team mate VET out of the approaching T1. RAI is not racing a straight line, he's moving to the right over quite a distance. It's ever so slight, it's just 2 or 3 degrees, but it's there from 3rd gear until collision when RAI is in 4th gear. VER's defense to the left doesn't seem to appear on RAI's scope that much, he seems to be having VET on his mind exclusively.

Honestly bowling bal of the day: Vettel.

Who's fault? I think Vettel

Thank God they bought the f1. Such cool videos and stuff on this channel.

Achievement unlocked: take part in a crash involving 3 world champions before the first turn

If you Look at kimis onboard 3 Times or more you See that 1. Kimi Had enogh room on the left Hand side and 2. He turned just a bist to the right what caused the collision... He could have waited at least maybe 5 more tenths before turning in to the right... My Point of view 😐

driver of the day: Alonso for that complete 360 turn, gotta say thats a full 10/10

Riccardo was the smartest during that crash. He braked thinking: "Anything can happen here, let me see how it turns out", whilst Alonso kept going & bit off more than he could chew.

Well the first contact was between Max and Kimi, it took rear right wheel off of Kimi's car rendering it uncontrollable. Granted Vettel was moving across rapidly but so was pole sitter in almost every race this year. As Max took his foot down from the accelerator pedal he caught Kimi's wheel as Kimi kept accelerating, the left front wheel of Maxe's car was in the tracks of Kimi's rear right wheel, collision was imminent. Pause the video at 0:49, you can see Vettel's already in front of Max when they are about the crash. Unfortunate sequence of events, none of them is to blame.

i think raikonen should not have turned right even tho it was just a small move

BWOAH Not my fault!

Ferrari blaming Max was the most outrages thing they could do

Ricciardo's onboard would be the best one but thank you anyway! ;)

Do best team radios

Vettel’s fault.

Brilliant content, so glad Liberty Media have taken over. When this happened I nearly put my head through the ceiling.

At last - a decent video of this crash that doesn't feature David Crofts annoying screaming. Thank you

Guys just imagine Alonso had jumped the corner... He would've been third after the crash and second after Vettel's. It would've been a podium with a McLaren... Just proving he is the best starter of F1 history once again

That was racing incident. But i think it was ferraris fault. VER had nowhere to go

Imagine just driving across the interstate over the race and seeing that

Poor kimi..... what a start he had

Kimi's fault

Im sorry 4 Max Verstappen

Crazy, from every angle it looked like Kimi's fault to me until I saw his onboard and it's clear that Vettel squeezed Max

Great stuff Liberty media !

That was Vettel's fault

What was Seb thinking?!

Really good Job Sebastian...

Awesome job liberty media for give us all the info as posibol from this important accident :D

Why the hell was Hulks engine sound the loudest?

Vettel was too aggressive, nobody should blame Versteppen

I'm a vettel fan but I'm pretty sure Kimi and sebs plan was to cut off max at the start to get a 1, 2 race. Pretty ridiculous that they had to screw up Max's race just because they were so incompetent as to not execute a simple plan.

Vettel moved across the entire track to be able to hit Verstappen that early. There's closing off the second placed guy, and then there's recklessness.

No hate, but I had a big smile on my face on the first lap, a big, big smile.

GJ on messing up ur chance for a championship win vettel

Great job Seb👌

I think it is amusing how kimi is still try to steer the car when the front wheels are not doing anything 1:15 onwards

My opinion: verstappen didn't make any mistakes. Raikonnen was going a little bit close around verstappen. And vettel could not now that Raikonnen was on the side of verstappen. So i think it was a race incident.

0:04 - that moment when Vettel lost any chance of winning the 2017 championship!

ready for singapore 2023 🤙

When I am driving my car and throw it against yours and you crash I will say that is not my fault. I just learned that here in formula 1.

it was vettel

Firstly Ferrari mates strategy failed. Then later individuals strategy made a blunder. Hamilton enjoyed the scene and drove peacefully. Miracle worked out for Mercedes😂

So Kimi was able to see Better closing in and still didn't give Verstappen more room, he probably would have known that Vettel couldn't see him and that Verstappen didn't have much room. Then on top of that Kimi had room to move to the left but he moved to the right

*Reikonnen caused the crash, not Vettel, but considering how dirty Ferrari is, I am 100% sure he was instructed to squeeze Ver from the inside, Reikkonens docile reaction said it all, normally he would be frustrated screaming, but he acted as if that was exactly what he anticipated, the only thing that went wrong is Kimi crashing into Seb, but squeezing Ver was 100% on purpose, he was the only one out of 3 drivers who knew where everyone else was, maybe this was the condition why he got signed up for another year.*

Vettel's fault. He moved aggressively to the left and gave Max and Kimi no room.

Vettel is such a dangerous driver

Unlucky for everyone involved.

Hilarious that Ferrari tweets that the crash was Max's fault, when the video clearly shows it was Vettel and Raikonnen that caused the melee...

V E T T E L IS THE ONLY ONE TO BLAME HERE

This is how i see it: -Max didn't see kimi, he was focused to get ahead of Vettel. -Vettel as a race leader, is obviously going to the left to take the racing line, so he could protect the lead. -Kimi just had a really nice start compared to both of them, he decided to get that left gap. -Max, was going to the left to avoid crashing in to Vettel, but once he noticed Kimi, he took a bit of a right, (You can clearly see Max's steering wheel movement). -Max was late at that point. he couldnt do nothing about it. Kimi shouldn't have done that overtake, knowing Vettel that in all races that he get's pole, allways follows the racing line. Bad call from both ferrari's, we cant blame anyone really, only Kimi for going too fast i guess. And talking about Hamilton, yes he had luck. not going to say he is a bad driver, because he isn't, and this comes from a Ferrari enthusiast. With a bad car for Singapore, still pulls a win (Hat off to him). Ricciardo just had problems with the car as far as i know. So i dont understand the "fanboy" comments of "Penalty for that or the other one" imo, no one at blame here. Vettel still has a chance to get the DC, still 6 races to go, everything can happen in racing.

Poor Alonso, that was a great start

Ahahahah everybody's saying Vettel's fault...apparently only Hamilton can defend his poles by forcing others off like he did in Italy with Stroll...

Alonso 😪😪😪😪😢😢😢

Ridiculous Sebastian Vettel.

Both ferrari's are afraid of what max can do in the wet. Keep this in mind. What happens is obvious, vettel tries to block verstappens line by going to the left. Kimi MUST go right to be able to make the corner (normaly when side by side vertappen could move right to allow space). Vettel could not have seen kimi and therefore thought it would be wise to block verstappen. Kimi never had a choice other than goin right. Because he wouldn't be able to make the turn from that line

Grosjean: Some drivers cut turn one from the inside, first, one was Perez, I think. Whiting: Is that right checo? Checo: ... ... ...
