There's no talk about Lewis' reaction about the win. He was emotionless as if he had scored a third or fourth position, why do you think that was? Was it really because McLaren didn't let Button compete for the win? Or was it because Jenson attacked him while they were said to save fuel? He won that battle and should be happy. I can't explain it

Probably because a Redbull stuff up got him the win.

No one talking about Vettels attempt................

I think, and this is only speculation, that after being told to save fuel he was surprised that Jenson was still driving flat-out and pulling alongside him to pull off a pass.

I think battle is joined in this season.

I think he's fine with it, he looked ok to me. I suspect Jens may have attacked when they were told to save fuel but I dont think it causd a problem.I guess he knows the win was down to Vettels mistake but so what. he lost 2nd the other week because of a wheel failure, its how it goes.

I think you probably answered your own question there, IMO it was pretty 'low' of Jenson to attack Hamilton while under orders to save fuel and tires......

My interpretation of saving fuel and tires is to slow down, not wait for the car infront to slow down then try to pass him!

Mark did not move into Vettel nor did he move away, he kept his line Vettel instigated the contact and he should be doing the crazy finger circling salute to himself!

Vettels finger is obscene. Needs amputating.

We are, of course, assuming that Jenson was given the message at that point.

Vettel, what a jerk. I felt so sorry for Webber, looking at him while they asked him "how does it feel having your teammie take away your win", it's cruel.

That managed to spice things up a bit, but the race was a total bore otherwise. I don't get why do people like Turkey. "blahblahblah anticlockwise, blahblahblah turn 8". There was virtually zero overtaking. And it's always like that. The Mercedes train was particularly annoying, I was praying for Schumacher and Rosberg to crash into each other. Unfortunately it was Vettel doing the dishes.

At least Jaime got fastest lap at some point. But he was almost passing the Saubers to get a point. At least it went to Sauber.

When Lewis got his message it said "this message is going out to both cars"

I kind of got the feeling Lewis didnt celebrate so much as being the racer he is he would have wanted to win on merit, rather than from others misfortune. Also in one of the interviews he voiced his surprise at seeing Button attack him after being told they needed to save fuel. I also couldnt help thinking the save fuel message was code for hold station and dont race after what happened to the Red Bulls. But well done to Lewis for taking the fight to the Red Bulls and perhaps pushing them to make a mistake.
As for the Vettel/Webber incident I think that was down to Vettel, he even said when interviewed he had lost control of the car, one assumes under braking for the corner on the bumps. As for Horner saying the guys should give each other room, well Webber did, he certianly didnt force him onto the grass which drivers have done to each other in the past.

anticlockwise takes the cake . I agree, Turkey is boring, always has been.


About Lewis, maybe he really wasn't happy because of the incident that happened to Red Bulls. Still, the same happened to Alonso in Bahrain and to Jenson in Australia. If I was a Vettel fan, I would probably quit watching F1 - the unluck this guy has had + todays incident

yep and I remember hearing Button get that message regarding fuel a lap or 2 before he made a move Hamilton.

Button thought he would be cheeky he knew Hamilton was having to slow down but thankfully Hamilton didnt back off.

Vettel is the favoured son at Redbull, wouldn't expect anything less from Horner!

well Webber did, he certianly didnt force him onto the grass which drivers have done to each other in the past.
