THey should bring their decisions right away. Now Button can be punished and that could took his victory away. Not fair, but, he did some suspicious things. On the other hand, Vettel lead the hole race, always with a minimum of 5 seconds, then getting stopped by a safety car. I don't know, as much as you have to be lucky, you have to be careful what you do.

Wooohooooo!!!! Amazing race, Jenson was insane, last to first in the space of half a race. Superb stuff.

Was having safety car reservations early on and thought they were being way to cautious, but don't really care about that now!!!

I also think the stewards were dishing out penalties way way way to easily today, for the conditions they were driving in their were bound to be many" racing incidents" and to dish out a penalty for each one was a bit much.

The Jenson/Alonso incident was eaquel, they were both in the wrong, plus jens got a puncture so effectively had to do a drive through anyway.

Don't think they'd waited to investigate after the race if it was that serious an issue.

Than why call an "investigation" at all?

Something someone else pointed out during the rain downtime which from what i saw didn't get answered but i apologise if it did.

Did they remove the rule prohibiting the leading car from dropping 10 car lengths behind the safety car? because i swear Vettel was much further than 10 car lengths behind on pretty much every 1 of the safety car restarts.

Not like it makes a difference but would just show even more inconsistency by the stewards.

MAybe the stewarts want to hear what Jenson has to say.

Reprimand? Dunno really. If it was a pressing issue they'd have dealt with it immediately, surely.

I'm still not forgetting Spa '08 though. That shambles still haunts me

That was in the final few laps of the race though, different scenario.

I really hope that Jenson doesn't get penalised; but with the amount of luck Vettel has been getting this season; it wouldn't surprise me to see Button penalised for the Alonso incident!

Anyway, great drive from Jenson; he battled from last twice in the way, had a drive through and five pit stops for tyres and still won the race; this has to go down as one of the all time great drives! As I said on Twitter; I don't want to hear any more about Button not being aggressive or fast enough, he answered all his critics today!

Hhahahaha puncture for Jenson, eat that...

Safety car again, thanks Alonso. I'm getting sick of the sight of that safety car now.

EDIT:

Aha...so who's at fault here? Jenson or Alonso?? Looked clearly like Jenson punting of Alonso to me in this one, DRIVE THROUGH stewards! Consistency please!

Who won the race,

Why is Vettel so lucky? For leading every race?

You can be sure had it been Hamilton who had a coming together with Alonso and then went on to win the race, he would be getting the 20sec penalty. It was a good drive from the back, but why is it everyone keeps tripping up in front of Button allowing him to slip through. Whereas with Hamilton they manage to keep it together and drive into him instead.

That was a great race once it got going. Sorry Michael didn't get on the podium though.

Jenson drove brilliantly, I have to admit, even though I was pissed off at him earlier. What a drive from 21st lol.
Happy Seb got beaten but really, he should have won. Webber drove very well too. Well worth the wait this one. A classic!!

Agreed but can he do it consistently though?

Seb should have won despite being slower than Jenson AND making a clear mistake under pressure?

He should of yeah because he apparently controls luck :p

Listen, I'm happy Jenson won, but Seb dropping it with half a lap to go was a bit pathetic really. Seb looks good when well out in front, but like you said, the pressure must have got to him here.

I think we'll get a championship out of this yet. Jensons needs to build on this at Valencia.
