While the incident was more VER fault RIC isn't innocent either. Kyvat got fired for less...

I don't get why Verstappen is more to blame? He kept his inside line and most probably had to brake sooner because of that... RIC tried the inside and saw he couldn't go so he swerved to the right, couldn't brake on time and kicked VER out of the race...
If anything RIC should have stepped back a little and wait for a better opportunity...Just like Vettel should have done as well with 4 laps to go.

Get some glasses and watch the replays. He moved twice and more specifically he moved in the braking zone.
Dangerous and ilegal move.

If it was dangerous and illegal, wouldn't he have gotten a penalty?
Ricciardo also admitted himself that he attempted his move too late, which puts a good part of the blame on himself. Not to mention it's your teammate you're trying to pass...make SURE you have the space to do it properly.
PS: I don't wear glasses thank you.

I'm not sure why he didn't get a penalty but he deserved one. All the TV announcers in the world including French, Italian, English and American saw him weave TWICE which is illegal. He should've gotten a reprimand at least. Look at Perez's pass on Vettel - Vettel knew he was beaten, he didn't try and weave back in front of Perez, he just let him pass.
Verstappen is too aggressive - he reminds me of Maldonado only with a (much) better car.
In Italy - everyone thinks Ricciardo will go to Ferrari next year as Kimi's contract is up at the end of this year - I can see them swapping seats.
In America and the UK - the commentators think Leblanc will go to Ferrari next year. I'm forced to agree with them, I don't see Vettel sharing the 1st spot with Ricciardo at Ferrari.

this one was a real zzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzz...Nothing to report after the first lap accident. Grosjean really lit up the rears causing a massive smoke show.
How much did Pirelli's new tires favor Mercedes? Yes the Merc was the better car but one has to wonder had Pirelli stuck with the same compound as used in testing, would we have had a better race???
FFW to next race, a real bore in Monaco unless it rains...

C'est sur que c'est pu la F1 des années 80/90 mais as tu écouté les courses cette année a part celle de dimanche? Il y a quand même eu pas mal d'action comparativement aux dernières années..
