In the last few laps everyone was on wet tyres except for Button who chose extreme wets and the two Toyotas who didn't pit.

WTF why was button on the extream wets

hmm, i didn't know some teams went for the extremes. They probably did it cause they have nothing to lose, i could have easily pissed it down (like it did minutes after the race!).

that's why he let everyone go by.

But surely, surely when so much is at stake one cannot deliberately let anyone go by - that would be artificially influencing the championship and totally contra
to the purist's ethos of racing!

What you fail to understand is when you can no longer control your car you have no choice but to let everyone go by. The difference of speed was probably 30 or 40 MPH. Get in your car, go 5 mph, and try to get in the way or race your buddy's car that's going 35mph. IT'S IMPOSSIBLE. He had no other choice and you are being totally unrealistic.

GLOCK HAD NO GRIP!!!

GET OVER IT

You saw Toyota near hit the wall, neither Toyotas had wets on, they were slipping everywhere, he went deep, cars went past THERE!

McLaren were tracking the cars on GPS and had radioed Lewis to tell him forget about Vettel, you will catch Glock sometime before the end of the lap. They could see how much he was slowing.
