Yup.
10 second penalty - He'll end up 4th
20 second penalty - He'll end up 10th
25 second penalty - He'll end up 12-13th
Could give him a grid penalty for the next race though.
Im not much of a twitter user tbh. You following Crofty and the like?

Oh goody 
, hmm, if they gave him a 15 or 30 second penalty or something, Hamilton would "get" a podium place, without ever getting to be on the podium at his home race, that he should have won but for Pirelli's incompetance.
to "this is gay", I think the failures are the same, just the tyre construction has meant the failure is far more spectacular, because they've seemingly removed that metal band which held together the tyre previous when it delaminated(or at least better), without it the tyre just instantly destroys itself when it delaminates. This is their improved tyre, that fails seemingly as often just with more damage, more danger, and more debrie, about the worst possible way they could "improve" the old tyre

The decision could be a championship influencing one also. Would give Alonso another 3 points closing the gap to 18pts I believe?

Amongst about 800 others.
My twitter feed is quite busy at times.
I removed a couple of hundred follows over the past week or so because i just missed too much stuff
I add extra columns in tweetdeck around races though. Found listing by '#BritishGP' with tweets that get 3+ retweets was a sweet spot for good info today Amongst about 800 others.

Blimey how the hell do you follow that all?
And how do you get your hands on the names of so many F1 journos?
Must get quite busy lol.

The construction of the tyre has not changed,they have changed the adhesive that they used has changed, but the construction changes back to the kevlar belt in the tyre was not approved by the teams, which need to universally approve any changes mid season.
Force India and Genii were the teams that passed on the tyre change.
I think that now Pirelli have to go to the FIA and get the FIA to force the kevlar belted tyres through giving the teams no choice about it.

I'm surprised it's only him getting called in, everyone seemed to be going pretty damn quick under the yellows.
It's still bad considering he won the race by less than a second.
Yes but would have slowed down by nearly a full second through a yellow flag area? perhaps a tenth or two?
EDIT: He finished 0.7 secs ahead.. I guess it could be bad yes.

I've never seen a race like that one. Gutted for Lewis, the Mercedes finally seemed to have the pace for a win and that happens.

I can't deny, I was jumping around cheering when Vettel broke down
Amazing drives from Webber, Alonso & Hamilton. Great result for Ricciardo too
Webber to beat Vettel every race from here on in. Let the F1 Gods permit this wish!!

Hilarious pre race analysis. Heres another joke: Lewis' rear tyre issues. Be careful who you poke fun at
