Well done to Lewis Hamilton. Also to Jenson Button.

Fantastic to race to watch. With many a drama.

Just to point out a few things. There is way to many new fans of F1 recently on the net talking absolute trash.

The Webber/Vettel incident without a doubt is bigger than the single move on track. It is very clear that Webber was running less top speed. And in fact for the 10 laps before was doing .100 of second a lap faster than Vettel. The 2 laps before Vettel made his move, he was all of a sudden .4 seconds each lap quicker than Webber ( who confirmed he had no problems and was asked to turn down his engine ). Certain people are trying to clarify if Vettel was asked to turn his engine up at the same time. This unfortuantely will be a case where only Redbull will ever know.

However Vettels ability behind the wheel when either challenging or challenged is very sly. He apologised 1 year ago to Kubica for abruptly turning into him saying he didnt see him. Fair enough, benefit of the doubt. What some here may not know, is Lewis over the radio put a complaint of dangerous driving in about Vettel when Lewis went to take him. Claiming that he turned into Lewis ( causing Lewis to avoid ) when side by side on Lewis 2nd time behind Vettel. Then again Vettel clearly via cockpit footage turned towards Webber ( And no Webber is not obliged to move ) when he should have held line. Vettel should be penalised severely. It was dangerous.

The Lewis/Button was a great watch. However should never have taken place. Lewis was asked over the radio that both him and Button were told to save fuel. However Button wasnt told till after their tussle. Clearly menaing Lewis was purposefully lapping slower due to making it to the finish. I think this was nothing more than a mistake at Mclaren. They just forgot to tell Button straight away. I dont think there was any badness in the Mclaren team. Just an error. I think both Button and Lewis are aware of that to. Lewis was to surprised for it not to be.

However great TV.
