aren't team orders banned?

That's a "don't take each other out" instruction on the last lap, legit imho.

CaptainRAVE · 10 Jul 2011 at 14:35

Hamilton will get a penalty - whenever the drivers race a little, the FIA step all over it.

No team orders until it actually affects Vettel then:/

Reckon they could drop him a place? They do need to be consistent after all.. (consistently crap).

Massa cut him off!

Lets see what the infinitely more knowledgeable stewards and Nigel Mansell think.

Didn't look too bad though TBH

WOAH look at Alonso's tires.

CaptainRAVE · 10 Jul 2011 at 14:36

Still works brilliantly for vettel.

TaKeN · 10 Jul 2011 at 14:36

Just goes to show the Favoritism in that team, Vettel is the glory boy, must be too much hastle to have him throw his toys out of the pram if Mark were to beat him.

Abraxaz1 · 10 Jul 2011 at 14:36

vettel showed again that he cant overtake

Merlin5 · 10 Jul 2011 at 14:37

I'm surprised hamilton is happy. I figured he'd be pee'd off without a podium finish.

Dr Who · 10 Jul 2011 at 14:37

Hamilton and Massa were side by side and Massa tried to force him to slow IMHO, but hard to tell for sure.

utajoker · 10 Jul 2011 at 14:37

webber must be gutted.

i thought they would have let them race. im sure horner always said they have no team orders.

King Damager · 10 Jul 2011 at 14:37

Stupid bloody Team Orders, Webber deserved that!

Hamilton should so keep the place...

Idiotic McLaren failing to change a wheel -.-

They all look like that, they collect the marbles to make sure they meet minimum weight.

I think he realises how lucky McLaren were.

He was offline on the rolling down lap, picks up the marbles.

Awsome synchronised powersliding on that last lap from Hamilton and Massa

TaKeN · 10 Jul 2011 at 14:39

Not bad for a No2 driver Mark :rolleyes:

+1 It was great to watch it in super slow-mo.

He's a flat track bully imo to use a cricketing phrase, when it's just a time trial session he's dominant soon as he needs to actually overtake or comes under pressure then he's not that special imo. Couldn't overtake Hamilton even when he was much quicker.

I think the team orders were to stop them taking each other out TBH.

Shame this race has been tained by temp. rules changes.
