And we have a red flag. Justified in this case, there's far too much water on the track.

Kobayashi's strategy has paid off.

I SO love this race... can any1 help me on a question... ? its the number of laps massa pited after alonso i said it was maximum 2 my best friend said it was at least 5+ laps...

afaik alonso pitted first (ofc.) and then after 1 or 2 lap massa pitted together with vettel - kobayashi took the lead - and then alonso pitted again back to heavy wets togehter with button......

[simonlang]

Alonso rightly paid the price for causing that incident with Button. (Y)

100% true.... :)

that race is a thriller... absolutely loving it!!! 200% action and loads of uncertainities...

[MightyJordan]

They're investigating the incident with Button and Alonso now. Maybe a grid penalty for Alonso in the next race? :whistle:

EDIT: No wait, I forgot it's the FIA; the "F" standing for "Ferrari". :p

[vanx]

The incident will be investigated after the race. Penalty for Button would be the right course of action for bumping off Alonso.

Get off! Button was on the racing line, he had the inside of the corner, and Alonso went into him. It doesn't matter if Alonso was just ahead, he caused the incident.

Hmm, I don't think so. Vettel's pulling out a big lead once again now. He's more than 5 seconds ahead of Kobayashi. I reckon Vettel will win, and Massa will probably just snatch 2nd from Kobayashi, and he'll finish 3rd.

BTW, the incident involving Heidfeld and di Rests is being investigated now.

Rosberg and Sutil are under investigation now. Probably a drive-through penalty for Sutil.

Alonso did not go into him. Button approached on the right rear side and then slammed into Alonso as he tried to turn right. Alonso was ahead and he didn't have to get out of the way. Button had to go into Alonso from quite far back to have turned him clockwise so much and pitch him up on the curb.

[MightyJordan]

Drive-through penalty for Paul di Resta. It's bad enough that he had to pit in to replace his front wing after that incident. :/

...well damn, I got that wrong then. Schumacher and Massa just both passed Kobayashi. Schumi's in 2nd, and Massa's in 3rd.

[simonlang]

massa ... most unlucky guy ever :(

needless to say the only SC he gets no one in front of him pits.... no surprise there :(

[acnpt]

Time for another flying renault gif :D

Unlucky for Kob tho :(

[MarkusDarkus]

How the hell do you fall over in fromt of an F1 car?? :rofl: :rofl:

[vanx]

What's with that drunken marshal on the track? :rofl: :laugh:

Now how controversial will it be for Button to be penalised and loose the top podium spot?

[MarkusDarkus]

YESSSSSSSSSS!!!!!!!!!!
