I blame Max for the penalty. The stewards only investigated after his comments. If only had Max done a vettel and replied by saying he lifted off, it would not have been investigated.
Its going to haunt him as now he is in the dirty side and likes of Hamilton amd Albon will get a good launch at start.
Yep he only has himself to blame. Be humble! You can't go on TV and tell everyone that you broke the reg and not expect to be penalized.
He did answer the question truthfully. I would have too said something along the lines of Lewis did yesterday to explain his own failure to go off the gas (it all went so quick, I hardly realised it) or Rosberg back in 16 (I lifted) the data would have proven it. But that is not how Max operates. He, indeed bluntly, says what he thought. Much like Kimi in Spa 17.
This is now the second time hope it was the last.
I really like Max, I enjoy his interviews, especially post FP sessions, qualifying etc. He gives very articulate assessments about car behaviour, track conditions and the likes. You get a bit more insight when Max is being talked to. As usual, in the PC yesterday, he was honest, which isn’t the real problem. The real problem was that he was also very flippant, which lost him a brilliant pole. But I think just like last year, he’ll be a lot more fired up. He’s still my favourite for the win, all things being equal.
Q: (Stefano Mancini – La Stampa) Kimi, will you help Vettel to win his championship this year?
Kimi Raikkonen: I can only drive one car, obviously.
