reports of more rain on the way
Then to compound things they tow it back to the pits as Vettel was exiting a potential disaster as you saw his back end step out.
Why did Lewis get the drive through? I flicked over to watch Bell get his hundred in the cricket and missed it

What a stupid regulation.. He could hardly of avoided forcing Di Resta off the track I mean what else could he of done?

Anywho, turns out Lewis can't do strategy.
Well done Button!
He didnt deserve it imo - just watched the replay twice, and Lewis was actually less on that part of the track (after correcting his car) than he would have been had he stayed exactly where he was, so Di Resta would have had to drive around him (and off the track) in any case.Yeah I know why they have the rule but I hardly think it warrants a drive through!!
Enjoyable stuff. Great to see the Mclarens continually allowed to race, Red Bull I am looking at you.

I am no Red Bull apologist, but to be fair team mates racing at the start or halfway through the GP is a bit different to the last couple of laps.
Good race, lots of exitment, so glad Button won after the last two weeks and another McLaren win.
IMO the stewards were wrong about Hamilton, his car was in the way weather he tried to spin or not.
Hamilton's strategy was dissapointing, especially as his driving was really strong throughout.
Lots of references from Jake about BBC loosing the TV rights, he is clearly very upset about it. I'm going to miss their excellent coverage.
