#F1 Vettel investigation ongoing - Christian Horner and more Renault guys have now gone to race control to see FIA

#F1 Unusual for a team principal to become involved in such matters which can only mean it's getting serious for Vettel...

After Hamilton ran out of fuel I asked if he'd have been better off 'crashing' into a gravel trap, if he'd done so he would have been ok and not stuck at the back of the grid.

How would that help, I'm sure they would calculate fuel levels without going off to see if it was to get round low fuel...
 
If Vettel is given a penalty, this race has got to be one of the worst places for it to happen.

Even with a fast car, starting dead last with a car that is slow in a straight line.
 
If RB can convince the stewards that its a fuel system issue and there is enough fuel then fair enough. If they try to tell the stewards it was a problem withy eh fuel system when there isn't actually enough fuel in the tank they should be excluded from the race at least! I hope an FIA technical steward is there when they bring the car back and they de,and the tank be drained immediately. Less then a litre in the tank? Exclusion from the race for lying to the stewards.
 
Just an interesting thought...

If they give Vettel a reprimand, that'll be his 3rd and he'll then get a 10 place grid penalty.

Just thinking.
