If that's your idea of Hulkenberg "destroying" Di Resta then I don't really know what to say :p

Its just the usual drivel unfortunately. I rate Hulk but don't forget he has quite a bit of time in the car last season on the Fridays at FI. I would still put Di Resta ahead as an overall driver, even if they had the same points.

What a great race :) Mclaren updates working very very well, can't wait for Hungary this Sunday coming.

Had to laugh at Hamilton unlapping himself in style and giving Button a bit of a hand. Vettel was always going to get a penalty for that, and although it may look over the top, it will stop any drivers just trying it on again.

Well done once again to Alonso. As long as Ferrari give him a top 3 car for the rest of the season, he will be hard to beat.
 
Sebastian Vettel's German Grand Prix penalty came after FIA clarified track etiquette rules at Silverstone - http://www.autosport.com/news/report.php/id/101474

Formula 1 drivers were warned specifically about increased scrutiny on anyone gaining an advantage by leaving the track, before Sebastian Vettel's controversial move on Jenson Button at the German Grand Prix.

Vettel grabbed second place from Button on the penultimate lap at Hockenheim after using the run-off area at the exit of the hairpin to drive past his McLaren rival.

That incident was investigated by the race stewards, who deemed that Vettel was in breach of the rules for not using the track "at all times" - and he was given a 20-second time penalty in lieu of a drive-through for his actions.

The decision, which dropped Vettel to fifth in the race results, caused some controversy because in other situations – like Lewis Hamilton overtaking Nico Rosberg off track in Bahrain, a move the officials ruled was ultimately completed on track under braking – drivers have escaped punishment. But it is understood that the stewards were reacting to the latest clarification of the rules that was issued at the British GP.

Prior to the race at Silverstone, F1 race director Charlie Whiting sent a note to all teams and race stewards making it clear that while the regulations state no driver can gain an advantage by leaving the track, race stewards would be encouraged to use their discretion in determining the extent of any benefit.

I still think the FIA should have just stuck with the original plan to make the exhaust exits have to be behind the rear axle, circular, and perfectly horizontal. It would have stopped all this.

Hopefully that is in the plan for when the turbos with single exhaust are brought in.
