      @XxStuart96xX 4 ปีที่แล้ว +110

      ​@@mcrecordings Well he was only heading towards Kubica because he and Kubica were on the normal pitlane line. It's pretty obvious the collision happened because he didn't notice the red light and saw Kubica too late, but I don't believe he swerved left to take out Kimi.
      If he stayed straight, he's certain to hit Kubica because he's obviously not going to stop in time.
      If he swerved right, he's going right into the wall and the marshals stood there.
      If he swerved left, there's more road on that side of Kimi's car.
