Can't really say he got caught out, he'd driven the circuit every lap up until then. He knew the track was slippery, he knew that button would defend his position by moving to the inside, which meant he would have to brake earlier. So rather than sticking it behind him, he should have stayed on the outside and gone round him when button had to break earlier.
And before you all start saying 'its easy for you to say that when you're sat at home watching it!' These drivers are paid a fortune to race these cars AND to think as racing drivers, which maens setting up a move before rather than just making a random move, and then sorting out as it happens.
As the race stewards said, it was an avoidable crash which removed someone from the race.
BUT, I do think Seb is a little hot headed at the moment to be a world champion. He just doesn't seem to be able to calm himself down when things get exciting.
And for that reason I think Webber is the more deserved driver at RedBull to be supported for the championship this year....but for some reason, RB don't seem to notice this.
