Well Vettel didn't get back on the track in a safe manner. So he failed. What erks me about Vettel is he should have had his head down and got a lead of more than 5 seconds. That's what a driver would have done. Instead he was whining like a big old baby. Hell, he made the mistake in the first place. If he wouldn't have messed up he would have won.

I agree, he lost focus and lost the race... As to the call, it sucks, but like everything else with all the damn replays / slow motion and such, alters the outcome. In reading several articles today, it showed that he did go wider then he needed to... But damn, you got to go and make a charge... What is interesting Hamilton said he would to the same thing... I really thing its the drivers fault, it all started with complaining about this and that and now they have a mess. Damn this is racing and sh-t happens....

Most drivers want to race and win outright and not be given a win. Hamilton did not want to win like that either. Of course he would have done the same thing. LMAO, I was talking to Steven Dougherty, X Nissan factory drive about competitive racing or competitive anything and I said the saying is if you ain't cheating you ain't trying and he replied in racing the saying is if you ain't cheating you ain't winning lol! It just didn't work out for Vettel this time.

Are you saying Vettel had enough speed to increase his lead b more than 5 sec when Ham was able to stay within 3 virtually all day; and had turned up to the max power Toto would give him to make a pass in the last 15 laps?

It was a ******** penalty and disgrace and totally representative for what F1 has become where everything has become more important than drivers and racing. The one opinion I unquestionably respect who I didn't hear speak out on it is Jackie Stewart.

If I was his boss I would have given him crap for not fighting to the end for every little bit he could get.
