I would suggest the opposite, that the task here appears to be to lay the blame at Vettel's feet.

None of the other outlets I have seen say anything (yet). It seems they have moved on

I think spatial awareness is definitely a Vettel weakness. Found this clip by accident when watching Perez's joke to his engineer that his engine had failed on the last lap in Suzuka 2011. Vettel turns in on Schumacher oblivious that he is there and MS has to run the kerb to avoid him.

It may well be, but I think it worth bearing in mind that Schumacher is moving alongside a driver who is saluting the crowd, after becoming world champion again. If I understand some of the comments in this thread correctly, it was the overtaker who has to look out, not the picker-upper-of-marbles, or in this case the celebrating champion.

I believe, as somebody pointed out after Singapore, that the wider rear wheels may well be a factor that some drivers find harder to compensate for.

Vettel waving to the crowd, not looking in his mirrors and nearly hitting another car, but i'm told after the flag drivers always look in their mirrors, and Vettel a world champion at that, but let's pick on the 18 year old kid because Vettel yet again did nothing wrong.

Vettel made a mistake there, just like Stroll made a mistake in Malaysia. Drivers should always look in the mirrors, racing or not.

The point is that obviously they don't always look in their mirrors, this seems to be a double standard were Vettel himself doesn't look in his mirrors then accuses someone else of doing the same thing, a rule of thumb perhaps should be that after the flag drivers should proceed with caution back into the pits, did Vettel proceed with caution?

I think the double standards are pretty evident when you're blaming Vettel in both situations?

Yeah so basically the race was over so no need to put the steering wheel back on, like I said 10 pages ago in the fifth reply in the thread

Edited for autocorrect correct.

Acknowledging that is not near as fun as 9 pages of Vettel condemnations over virtually nothing, Cov. Even to the point of creating yet another Vettel post race bash thread for emphasis!!!
