Red Bull's are so slow down the straight.

Perez pits - lap 28... :eek:

Slowish stop, onto the soft tyres.

Obviously going to be no penalty for Vettel now that Alonso has made it past him.

So Alonso was not alongside? really are you saying that?

Nope i don't think they were side by side.

Pit radio:

Alonso, "OK, OK, we need a penalty now"
Engineer agrees, "Yeah, I see what you mean, he's destroying our race"

I don't see a reason to punish him, there was space around the outside of Vettel. If the stewards think it was enough is another matter...

Hamilton still flying.

Vettel gets a drive through.

From the onboard, it's close. Alonso came alongside him so very quickly, could have surprised Vettel.

Amazing how views change depending on which driver was on the receiving end. If that had happened to a Mclaren driver people would be quoting the car width.

Mclaren fans need to think of the longer game and the points Vettel will lose with a penalty

WHEY! Vettel drive though

elmuzzy66. · 9 Sep 2012 at 13:51

A joke of a penalty

LOL Vettel.

FIA to the rescue for the tifosi

Stewards in Italy helping out Ferrari, never heard anything like it. Especially considering Alonso made almost exactly the same move last year.

CaptainRAVE · 9 Sep 2012 at 13:52

Seeing that replay I don't get why Alonso went for the gap. Vettel was on the racing line? Anyway, one less person in the way of Hamilton for the championship and McLaren for the WCC

I'm not a vettel lover but I think that ruling was a bit unfair.

JonnyGLC · 9 Sep 2012 at 13:52

Can't help but feel its a bit of a harsh decision!

steve45 · 9 Sep 2012 at 13:52

dont quite agree with that but hey its FIA

Pigeon_Killer · 9 Sep 2012 at 13:53

People are surprised?
