Drive through penalty has cost the Hamster the race.

Vettel or Button?

No he lost the race when he put inters on, the drive through was fair, he could have caused a serious accident and should have spun his car the other way and not back onto the racing line.

I doubt he can complain about the drive through, if that force india was a bit closer it could have ended in disaster.

Well done button!!!!!!!!!!!!! i would love to hear if he wanted to put on inters if he was first. Awesome race and sadly the ham made bad tyre choices but button as usual shows his class :D.

Hell yeah... Jenson! Inters cost Hamilton and Webber nearly 50 seconds... Just blinked too early. Nice drive by Di Resta as well.
 
I'm just happy Vettel didn't come first and a McLaren did. Pity about Hamilton, he was looking so good! :( Still happy with the race
 
Only watched the last 30 laps. Was sooo close. McLaren and Hamilton for the 2nd time this season makes a race loosing strat call (Inters). As for the drive through he deserved that. Glad Vettel got 2nd, he even passed Alonso, although be it on pure speed :D
 
I have noticed this issue now for the past three races. During the commentary there are about 5 times (for the whole race) when it cuts out for a second. Anyone else notice this?

Yep. Considering that we're watching a live broadcast from just about the other side of the world, via I'd expect at least 3 or 4 satellite hops, it's probably to be expected.
 
Is this DRS thing only for the second car, or can all cars use it. It seems only the cars who wants to pass enable it.

Nope i have not noticed that at all. You have to be within one second of the car you are chasing to use it. Both cars can be use it if the other car is within one second of a back marker or another race.

Often with back markers drs is rendered useless because the car chasing the back marker gets it along with the racer chasing the guy chasing the back marker :D

In quali you can use where ever you like.
