VET instigated the accident but there was poor close racing to share the blame. VES was not in position to force the car through the inside. Refer to the 2012 Crash in almost the same place cause by GRO.

Spa is a race that is difficult to win in the first corner unless you are on pole and there is an accident exactly like this one. Max had the proper strategy because he knew that being directly behind ROS meant a tow up the Kemmel Straight which may allow a pass under braking at the end. I'm not certain the Red Bull has the HP for this but he would have been close enough for a strong move in sector 2 where the RB was advantaged. This entire strategy depended on his position at the going into Eau Rouge. This is why Max was super aggressive, I believe.

On to VET. VET caused this. Period. End of story. Had Kimi been in his position we wouldn't even be discussing this. He turned down onto Kimi and caused the chain reaction. Had Kimi been in this position, he would have taken the escape road and we wouldn't be having this conversation.

Poor execution by VET. Poor decision by VES. Kimi the meat in the sandwich.
JMHO.
