Harsh punishment for Vettel considering Hamilton was basically wasting his time out there only a lap or 2 before the pass on Button (Which I feel he might have done quicker and under better circumstances if Hamilton wasn't there). He had a puncture and fell down to 22nd, should have just retired and saved his car, especially because the next race is only a week away and he ended up retiring when there was about 10? laps to go. Tough call and bad tactics for both sides really.

Neh, Mclaren made a good call with hamilton after he had no chance anymore, using him to test the new parts and collect precious data, and them retire him with an "unknown" problem later cause there are a few tactical advantages if you retire car than end up finishing the race outside the points... like you can switch parts like a gearbox without a penalty.. so testing the new parts and the retire was the best thing they could do..

I'm glad Alonso is doing well this season, Ferrari was an unfavoured car and Alonso is doing it and him justice.

A good race, what I watched of it, missed the ending but will watch recording back today.

Yep, agree on that one, unfortunately these pit-stop blunders occured more for Lewis Hamilton so hopefully he'll have his repayment from the team as well.



Sergio Perez is formidable right now, just needs to sort out his qualifying and he'll be up there with higher tier of teams, 2013 in Ferrari maybe, as Massa is frequently undermined by Fernando Alonso he'll most likely be dropped now. Are there still chances of Sebastian Vettel joining Ferrari in 2014 and then to mirror Michael Schumacher's career and not to win a title again until 2016?
