Vitaly Post-Monaco Video

Here's the man himself, confirming his status health-wise is ok and all that's required is a few days of rest and then there'll be another check before I assume he'll return to fitness training if his ankle seems fine.
Also in the video he describes how the crash evolved from the chain of events on-track and it sounds largely like my description in my last post is accurate.
The other thing of note was his condemnation of Sutil and applause for Rosberg as to how they handled being overtaken when they clearly had awful tyre condition. Vitaly's the racing driver and clearly much more knowledgeable than myself on the subject of overtaking but whether his complaints against Sutil are justified or not, I'm not sure. It would easy to take a fanboy-esque stance and declare everyone who doesn't let Petrov through an idiot and everyone who lets him pass easily a gentleman but objectively speaking it's never going to be that clear cut. That said however, passing at Monaco, as we have clearly seen this weekend, is something that requires co-operation on the overtakee's part and can't be done simply with pure speed or skill, no matter who you are or think you might be. As we saw, the only way Sutil was going to let someone pass was in getting physically shoved out of the way ala Kobayashi and I'm glad to say that Petrov was clearly sensible and cool-headed enough to not let that happen. This is clearly a topic with more meat on it, when to concede your position and when to defend it to the teeth, but I'll leave that for another time and devote an individual post to it I think.
Here's hoping for a speedy recovery for Vitaly.
