If you look at the front angle replay (head on coming into the chicane) you can see how overly defensive of a line Kimi was taking after Perez had already committed. Very similar to the famous Prost/Senna @ Suzuka, if not nearly as important.
One of the weirdest things I've seen in racing, maybe.
AJ bringing it home 7th is great too. 
Quite possibly. I would have loved a sprint to the finish, but super pleased for TK. Great 500.
If they get a yellow or go green from here Allmendinger can still win it. He should only have to do one more stop.
Is Boris ever NOT bitching about something?
Man, that really blows for Allmendinger.
Very diplomatic interview by Button on NBCSN.
"Perez is a feisty one, isn't he?"
"...yes."

You don't think Perez was braking as best he could as Kimi was driving him over to the wall? I think he was committed at that point and had no option of backing out.
Anyone heard any updates on Massa's condition?
It probably was a kamikaze move, but the fact is that Kimi saw it coming and ran him into the at armco instead of getting out of the way and repassing him on the way out of the chicane. It was a bad call on his part. (Granted, in the heat of the moment, but that's supposedly why these guys are paid the big bucks.)
Agreed on Sutil as man of the race. Did everything Perez did but cleaner and classier.
Great race overall, especially for Monaco.

Everyone is a WDC contender this early in the season. No one gets preferential treatment anyway. And, finally, Kimi's ultimately the one who ruined his own race there.
But mostly I'm just glad there's someone to take up the Sato/Kobayashi role.

Awesome race by Nico, though. Well done, Mercedes!
Was certainly ambitious, but to be fair the same move had worked several times before.
Kimi made a really bad decision there.
Yeah, Sutil and Perez are kicking ass out there.
Further evidence that Max Chilton has no business driving a F1 car.
