Yep all over now for alonso. Oh well it was a good fight considering his equipment. I won't bother getting up for the race tomorrow.

This could be good.

Vettel stopped on track. Not made it back to the pits under it's own power.

Thomas. PLease. · 3 Nov 2012 at 14:04

Get in there Lewis! Vettel penalty too!!!?

Pigeon_Killer · 3 Nov 2012 at 14:04

Hopefully Webber gets a good start and Hamilton loses it and rams him off the track allowing Vettel to cruise home to victory.

Irish_Tom · 3 Nov 2012 at 14:04

Seb stopped on track — out of fuel or technical issue? Potential penalty?

MooMoo444 · 3 Nov 2012 at 14:04

Dont be silly, its Vettel

no penalty

Mike_P · 3 Nov 2012 at 14:05

Maldo 4th... could be 3rd if that RBR has run out of fuel lol

413x · 3 Nov 2012 at 14:05

If that's fuel that's a penalty surely?

pingwing · 3 Nov 2012 at 14:05

Oooo Vettel not making back through lack of fuel??? That could be fun!

Also I am amused everyone seems to be banned mentioning that none is actually in the grandstands, just lots of mentioning the grandstands are there...

Well done Lewis

vimto to the back of the grid

Skeeter · 3 Nov 2012 at 14:06

If it was fuel and they knew it he would have stopped at turn 1, not done 3/4 of a lap.

Flibster · 3 Nov 2012 at 14:08

Renault asked RBR to stop Vettels car.

So Altenator?

Skeeter · 3 Nov 2012 at 14:08

Renault asked to stop it. That will be an engine or something then.

Duke · 3 Nov 2012 at 14:09

Great lap by Hamilton, just league of his own this weekend.

RSR · 3 Nov 2012 at 14:10

Wooohooooo Vimto with a problem...... Epic lap by Hamilton.

Tenzo · 3 Nov 2012 at 14:11

Good effort Lewis

Flibster · 3 Nov 2012 at 14:11

No penalty in Grosjean/Alonso incident.

Jono8 · 3 Nov 2012 at 14:12

So what are the rules then? I thought you had to make it back to the pits under your own power after qualifying?

You have to make it back under your own power and provide a fuel sample unless there is a technical reason as to why you can't make it back.

How good that reason is is up to the FIA to decide. RBR will have to tell the FIA exactly what happened and convince them they had to stop.

If the FIA are happy then no penalty, although I would assume something serious enough for them to allow them off with out a penalty will require fixing so will mean starting from the pits.
