Truth like rain don't give a feck who it falls on.
To be fair, that's a cnutish move as much of a legend as MSC is. He has no alleigence to him other than the fact he's German. Grid friendships shouldn't come into it, it should be a race against each other. Team orders are slightly different, but random guys on the grid? There would be uproar if Button had pulled over for Alonso first.

I honestly thought it was over for Vettel on the first lap. I thought his car was dead.

Shouldn't he also have more loyalty towards Ferrari? At least be honest and make it tough for him.

Does anyone reckon Ferrari are waiting to complain about the yellow flag until after the race? So that Vettel gets demoted. That's what Sky are hypothesising.

That's what I called earlier in the thread. Wouldn't put it beyond Ferrari, they're experts at the political side of the sport. Sadly these days, possibly a bit more than the actual technical side of it.

If it means it'll decide a title, then hell yeah i'd expect them to complain.

Really hope they do because there were definitely yellow flags. Knowing Vettels luck though, nothing will happen.

I can't remember why I joined this war.
Kimi man of the race for trying to be smart and ending up in front of a closed gate. :lol:

Also great race from Hamilton and Hulkenberg until he crashed into Hamilton.

Congratulations to Button for winning the race and Vettle for his third title in a row.

The safety car could feck Vettel though, if Ferrari successfully get him punished. You get time deducted off you, and it'll be a train so he'll drop RIGHT back.

Vettel.... luckiest driver ever in F1.

He's had some unbelievable luck this season.

Alonso drove wonderfully.
