But yeah, you go on believing your Golden Fish is blameless. That'll work too. For a while.

Pretty much right there. Danni Ricci has shown time after time he is likely the best breaking driver in F1. It's obvious that he didn't expect Max to slide back into the line ... by then he already hammered down making breaking futile at that distance. The amount of damage sustained from the impact alone clearly shows that; as guys get into the back of each other fairly often without that much impact.
Sure I'm an admitted Ricciardo "fan boy" ... but I like Max a lot, both as a driver and as a person; and root for him every race.
There's no denying that Max's slide back to the racing line caused the crash. If he stayed where he was after his racing move ... we wouldn't even be having this discussion.
