Minor correction... he wasn't in the way, he was actually behind Vettel until he caught up to him and passed him because Vettel was impeding his progress at that point.
But to get back to your point, here's why that claim is utter crap... what if there's an accident and the safety car comes out? All of the sudden he's 15 seconds behind the leader instead of 60.
Although I trust Andrew that you'll be making the opposite argument should it happen to Vettel in race. Being overtaken by a back marker is pretty embarrassing but it isn't as bad as you're making it out... at least is was Lewis and not Karthkeyan.
If Vettel didn't like having Lewis infront of him, why didn't he just overtake him again as you would do with every other backmarker.....?
Oh that's right, because he couldn't, as Lewis was much faster.
There would be no point risking a smash or wrecking his tyres.
Eitherway, backmarkers should not be getting in the way of the leaders.
